The AICPA published the generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS). GAAS are those guidelines which auditors must follow while conducting an audit of a company's financial statements. It must also be stated in the audit report that the audit was conducted following GAAS.

GAAP is implemented through measurement principles and disclosure principles. Measurement principles recognize and determine the timing and basis of items that enter the accounting cycle and impact the financial statements, such as the period in which transactions will be recorded. Disclosure principles determine what specific numbers and other information are essential to be presented in financial statements. Basically, GAAP is concerned with:

The documents that comprise GAAP vary in format, completeness, and structure. As a result, financial statement preparers sometimes are not sure whether they have the right GAAP; determining what is authoritative and what is not becomes difficult. In response to these concerns, the FASB developed the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification. The FASB’s primary goal in developing the Codification is to provide in one place all the authoritative literature related to a particular topic. Professional accountants pay for access to the FASB. The OU Accounting Department has paid for academic access to the FASB Codification. Our Login information is:

Under the new structure of corporate compliance, it is important to realize that the internal control of compliance programs is now the responsibility of the board, management, and other internal personnel. The responsibility clearly rests in the hands of management. The CEO is no longer able to merely place the blame on the executive staff (Buchbinder, 2012).

GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) determine the content and format of financial statements. SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) requires publicly traded companies to issue annual audit. Concerns are about adequacy of disclosure; and behavioral implications are secondary.

1. Review the case study information provided and determine all legislative and regulatory documents that describe compliance requirements for this company.

GAAP is exceptionally useful because it attempts to regulate and normalize accounting definitions, assumptions, and methods. Because of generally accepted accounting principles one is able to presuppose that there is uniformity from year to year in the methods that are used to prepare a

This research paper focuses on how IT audits are done and how they can help in assisting an organization in its regulatory compliance effort by identifying information security weaknesses prior to an external audit. The key players and their roles are defined, as well as organizational, results-based, point-in-time systems and extended-period audits. This leads to a natural question. In this new world of connected GRC, what is the role of internal audit compared to compliance? Where do these roles remain separate and where do they share responsibilities? How can these professionals work together to drive business value?

The most current and up to date information is necessary for businesses and auditors to make informed decisions. Information can be processed by newer technology at speeds that were not available before but can now be programmed to look for trends, set alerts, and analyze values with the ability to be shared on a moment 's notice. Auditors have had barriers with software and the “lack of transparency” which exists within older audit systems, preventing the auditor from having access to real time data from within a common data repository. The Assurance Service Executive Committee (ASEC) is teaming up with outside vendors to create an Audit Data Standard granting access for auditors to have information in real time with transparency and fulfilling goals of “semi automated to fully automated audit tools.” New steps presented will help reduce the dependence on data systems which rely on processing systems that do not exchange data or interact with other computer data processing systems. Applications and modulars can be tailored to interact with each other while performing multiple tasks and help increase reliability by reducing any errors within the data for a more detailed audit.
