A NASACT Training Webinar
Wednesday, May 4, 2011
2:00 - 3:50 Eastern Time
NASACT, in conjunction with the Association of Government Accountants and the Association of Local Government Auditors, is pleased to announce the latest in its series of training events addressing timely issues in government auditing and financial management.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) is currently revising Government Auditing Standards, the first major revision to the standards since 2007. Final release of the 2011 edition is expected in early summer.
This webinar will highlight the key revisions from the 2007 Yellow Book and the changes and comments received on the 2010 exposure draft. The revisions reflect major developments in the accountability and audit profession and emphasize specific considerations applicable to the government environment, including:
- Revising independence standards and adopting a blended conceptual and rules-based approach to the determination of independence,
- Revising financial audit standards to streamline and converge with the AICPA standards,
Please join us for this timely and informative training event. In addition to hearing scheduled segments from our speakers, you will be able to ask questions during a live Q&A session. This webinar offers something for all government auditors and comptrollers. Please share this opportunity with others in your government interested in this topic.
