A NASACT Training Webinar
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
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.
During this webinar, you will learn about the major revisions proposed in the exposure draft and the reasons behind the proposed revisions. Specifically, GAO staff will discuss the following proposals:
- Revising independence standards and outlining an independence assessment framework,
- Revising financial audit standards to streamline and converge with the AICPA standards,
- Defining an audit as providing "reasonable assurance," and
- Eliminating agreed-upon procedures and review level attestation engagements.
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.
NEW: A computer with Internet access is required for this event. Audio can be heard through the computer or a phone line but requires you to connect to the webinar before being able to connect via the phone if you so choose this method.
