SUMMARY:
On January 31, 2002, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), on the recommendation of the Advisory Council on Government Auditing Standards, issued an exposure draft of proposed revisions to Government Auditing Standards (also known as the Yellow Book) (GAO-02-340G). The changes propose revision throughout the entire set of standards except for the second general standard, independence, which was revised separately. The proposed revisions fall into three categories: GAGAS framework, consistent application of the standards where applicable to the various types of audits, and strengthening or streamlining the standards.
