Financial statement users are interested in information about the risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect an entity's future cash flows, results of operations, and financial condition. A principal source of such information is the Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) that entities subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are required to present. Because of the importance of MD&A to users, an entity may engage an independent public accountant to attest to the representations contained in that information. This proposed statement on standards for attestation engagements provides performance and reporting guidance for such engagements.

The Professional Ethics Executive Committee proposes to revise Interpretation 101-5 in order to provide guidance to members with respect to the terms "loans" and "financial institution" as used in Rule 101.

The member's independence would not be considered impaired with respect to the financial institution provided that the checking account, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market account are fully insured.

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

A significant period of time has elapsed since the publication in 1975 of the Audits of Government Contractors. In the interim, the pace of change in both the government contracts process and financial reporting requirements has accelerated, thus increasing the need for further guidance. Therefore, the guide has been revised to assist independent accountants in examining and reporting on financial statements of government contractors. The government contracts environment grows more complex with the addition of each new statute and regulation, and the significant rate of change in those regulations requires constant attention and guidance to remain current. Furthermore, effective application …

When expected future health care costs and maintenance expenses under a group of existing contracts will probably exceed anticipated future premiums and reinsurance recoveries on those contracts, a loss should be recognized. Reinsurance premiums should be reported as a health care cost. Acquisition costs of …

Exposure Drafts, Comment Letters, and Statements of Position

It is the position of the Professional Ethics Executive Committee that a "finding of a governmental agency" in tax matters results from the settlement of a controversy with the appropriate govenment agency. Proposed Interpretation 101-10 requires a member issuing a report on the combined financial statements of a governmental reporting entity to be independent of the oversight entity and each of the component units included in the report. The AICPA Professional Ethics Division has developed proposed Ruling No. 63, "Review of Prospective Financial Information--Member's Independence of Promoters," to clarify the independence requirements and provide guidance in applying them.
