This comprehensive course provides a focused update on key auditing developments affecting GAGAS and Single Audit engagements. The course integrates recent changes to the Yellow Book issued by the U.S. Government Accountability Office with major updates to Uniform Guidance and related Single Audit requirements.
Participants will begin with an overview of significant revisions to the 2024 Yellow Book, including changes related to quality management, key audit matters, and effective dates. The course also addresses the GAO’s implementation delay and its implications for audit planning, along with recent updates to the Green Book that may affect internal control considerations for governmental entities and Single Audits.
The course then shifts to recent developments affecting Single Audits, including the 2024 Uniform Guidance overhaul, updates to Appendix B of the AICPA GAS/Single Audit Guide, and guidance issued through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Reporting-related changes, including the transition to SAM.gov–based reporting, are also discussed.
