Auditing Standards Executive Committee

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

This is an exposure draft of a Statement on Auditing Standards on public reporting on limited reviews of interim financial information. The exposure period is unavoidably short so that the Committee can furnish guidance to CPAs who may be asked to report on limited reviews early in 1976. We recognize that this is traditionally a very busy time for CPAs but seek to assure that this exposure draft nevertheless will receive appropriate attention. In developing this exposure draft the Auditing Standards Executive Committee considered the provisions of the SEC's Accounting Series Release (ASR) No. 177, which permits a registrant to …

This exposure draft, if adopted, would change present practice by: 1. Requiring that the first standard of reporting, as well as all other generally accepted auditing standards, be met when an auditor examines and reports on financial statements prepared in accordance with a comprehensive basis of accounting other than generally accepted accounting principles. 2. Permitting an accountant to issue a report providing negative assurance relating to the results of agreed-upon procedures on one or more specified accounts or items, and compliance with contractual agreements or regulatory requirements.

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

This proposed Statement does not contain specific procedures to detect an illegal act by a client. An examination in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards cannot be expected to provide assurance that illegal acts will be detected. This limitation is considered in another proposed Statement entitled "The Independent Auditor's Responsibility for the Detection of Errors and Irregularities" also issued for comment today. The proposed Statement does specify that the auditor should be aware of the possibility that illegal acts may have occurred that may have a material effect on the financial statements. It further requires that should an auditor become …

The proposed Statement also recognizes that an audit provides reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that financial statements are not materially affected by errors or irregularities. The concept of reasonable assurance is discussed and definitions of the terms errors and irregularities are given.

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The issuance in 1972 of the United States Accounting Office's Standards for the Audits of Governmental Organizations, Programs, Activities and Functions significantly expanded the meaning of the word audit when it is to be applied to governmental and government funded activities. As a result, the CPA engaged to perform a governmental audit may now be expected to do far more than in the past. In addition to the traditional examination of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, expanded governmental audits may be concerned with the following questions: 1. Is the entity managing or utilizing its resources in …

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 describes an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) as a qualified stock bonus plan, or a combination stock bonus and money purchase pension plan, designed to invest primarily in "qualifying employer securities." Qualifying employer securities include the employer's stock and its other marketable obligations. The essential differences between an ESOP and other qualified stock bonus plans are that (a) an ESOP is permitted, in certain circumstances, to employ the principles of leverage in the acquisition of employer securities and (b) the employer may be permitted, under the Tax Reduction Act of 1975, to …
