Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

Consistent with the original proposal issued in September 2005, the proposed interpretation states that independence would not be impaired if a member and the client agree that the unsuccessful party in a lawsuit or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceeding between them will pay the legal fees and expenses of the successful party.

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 …

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

This Statement considers the responsibility of a certified public accountant in connection with the use of estimates in the preparation of a Federal tax return which he signs as preparer.

When estimates are used, they should be presented in such a manner as to avoid the implication of greater accuracy than exists. The CPA should satisfy himself that estimated amounts are reasonable under the circumstances.
