Auditor's Risk Management Guide: Integrating Auditing and ERM is a comprehensive how-to book that guides the reader on performing risk management-based audits. The book covers the Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). Following the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley and its strict corporate governance and accountability provisions, developing better risk management techniques is becoming more important in meeting higher audit committee expectations. Written by an audit practitioner, that's where this practical guide comes in. The first part of the Auditor's Risk Management Guide provides a broad understanding of corporate governance, ERM principles, and different auditing approaches. It also provides step-by-step instructions on how to execute the risk management-based audit, including frequently asked questions. The second part of the book is devoted to detailed case studies that illustrate the risk management-based audit methodology and tools in different scenarios, beginning with a business risk assessment and working through common audit areas such as closing the books, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. Practice Pointers and Observations throughout provide additional commentary to assist the reader in understanding the methodology. A free CD-ROM is included with the book provides electronic versions of the various work programs, checklists, and other tools in the book. The programs and checklists are presented in a format that helps the auditor understand what questions need to be asked and answered as he or she executes the methodology. This 2015 edition of Auditor's Risk Management Guide contains the following: Discussion of COSOs updated internal control framework, often referred to as COSO 2013. The 17 principles of internal control are covered (Chapter 7), along with other updates related to COSO 2013 (Chapters 7, 11, and 15). Increased focus and discussion about the importance of considering upside risks as well as downside risks (i.e., recognizing when more risk must be taken on to pursue strategies, vs. mitigating or avoiding risks) (Chapters 1, 13, and 16). Introduces integrated reporting () and explains how  links with risk management-based auditing (Chapter 15). Provides additional Frequently Asked Questions relating to new and emerging concepts, such as the boards role in ERM, the risk appetite framework, and audits role related to strategic planning and auditing strategic risks (Chapter 16). Updates other content for emerging concepts and relevant papers that have been issued. Also notes where appropriate that an update for COSO ERM has been announced, which may have notable impact on various parts of this book.

CCH's GAAS Guide describes the engagement standards, practices, and procedures in use today, including Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs) and their Interpretations, Statements on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAEs) and their Interpretations, and Statements on Standards on Accounting and Review Services (SSARS) and their Interpretations. The 2016 Edition of the GAAS Guide reflects the latest available professional standards. Most importantly, changes in auditing standards and the related Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards resulting from the Auditing Standards Boards (ASB) Clarity and Convergence Project. This edition includes coverage of SAS-122 (essentially all of the AU-C sections) (Clarification and Recodification), issued in October 2011, SAS-123 (AU-C 200, AU-C 230, AU-C 260, AU-C 705, AU-C 720, AU 915, and AU-C 935) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing Standards 2011), issued in October 2011, SAS-124 (AU-C 910) (Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with a Financial Reporting Framework Generally Accepted in Another Country), issued in October 2011, SAS-125 (AU-C 905) (Alert that Restricts the Use of the Auditors Written Communication), issued in December 2011, SAS-126 (AU-C 570) (The Auditors Consideration of the Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern), issued in July 2012, and SAS-127 (AU-C 600 and AU-C 800) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing Standards2013), issued in January 2013. SAS-122 is particularly noteworthy as it represents the culmination of the ASBs efforts to clarify the auditing standards and to largely converge its standards with the standards of the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Designated by the new AU-C section numbering, the recodified, clarified standards numbers are the same as the equivalent ISA numbers for clarified SASs that are based on equivalent ISAs (AU-C section numbers for clarified SASs with no equivalent ISAs have been assigned new numbers). The GAAS Guide incorporates these new requirements throughout the affected auditing standards and includes coverage of AICPA pronouncements for the following standards: - SAS-127 (AU-C 600 and AU-C 900) (Omnibus Statement on Auditing Standards2013) - SSAE-17 (AT 301) (Reporting on Compiled Prospective Financial Statements When the Practitioners Independence Is Impaired) - SSARS-20 (Revised Applicability of Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services) All the exhibit materials in the book appear on the accompanying CD-ROM. All the sample letters, reports, and checklists found in this guide can be printed and customized to meet all your auditing, attestation, compilation, and review engagement needs. The GAAS Guide meets accounting industry standards as overseen by the AICPA's peer review system (the book reproduces a letter by the book's peer reviewer). This book can be used in conjunction with the GAAS Update Service.
