Brief overview of new rules for audits of 12/31/21 financial statements.
To help auditors in the CPA community, the AIPCA peer review staff publishes PR Prompts, a newsletter with information for firms providing audits, review, compilations, and other attestation services.
The newsletter is unbranded and AICPA gives explicit permission to peer reviewers to put their logo and branding information on the newsletter. Those of us who are peer reviewers have specific permission to send it to our clients.
I will present their comments in four posts:
- New audit standards.
- New accounting rules effective this year.
- New accounting rules coming into play over next few years.
- Tips for firms in peer review program.
One section of the newsletter provides a condensed introduction to new audit standards that will be required for our upcoming year end audits.
If you are an auditor, you really need to become familiar with the whole string of SASs, from #134 through #140 before you dig into your year end engagements.
The following comments are provided to you courtesy of the AICPA. I gratefully acknowledge their work in preparing this info and gladly share it with you. For ease of reading, I will not put all the following material in quotations.
