Description

This proposed statement of position (SOP) would amend chapter 21 in the AICPA Industry Audit Guide Audits of State and Local Governmental Units, and would supersede example 26 in SOP 89-6, Auditors' Reports in Audits of State and Local Governmental Units. The proposed SOP would update the guide and SOP 89-6 to reflect the following standards affecting the auditor's consideration of, and reporting on, internal controls over federal financial assistance under the Single Audit Act: 1. SAS No. 55, Consideration of the Internal Control Structure in a Financial Statement Audit; 2. SAS No. 60, Communication of Internal Control Structure Related Matters Noted in an Audit; 3. SAS No. 63, Compliance Auditing Applicable to Governmental Entities and Other Recipients of Governmental Financial Assistance; 4. The 1988 revision of Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. The recommendations in this proposed SOP would be effective for audits done in accordance with the Single Audit Act for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 1990. Earlier application would be permissible.
