Description

The Auditing Standards Board is revising the guidance on auditing investments to make that guidance consistent with recently issued accounting standards, particularly Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. This proposed Statement would supersede AU section 332, "Long-Term Investments," of Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1, Codification of Auditing Standards and Procedures (AICPA, Professional Standards, vol. 1, AU sec. 332), and would delete Interpretation No. 1 of AU section 332, "Evidential Matter for the Carrying Amount of Marketable Securities" (AICPA, Professional Standards, vol. 1, AU sec. 9332). This proposed Statement would supersede AU section 332 and would require that the references to Interpretation No. 1 of AU section 332, "Evidential Matter for the Carrying Amount of Marketable Securities," be deleted from the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Banks and Savings Institutions.
