1 Route To: Partners Managers Staff File LIST OF SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES AND ADDITIONS PPC s Guide to Auditor s Reports Thirty-seventh Edition (August 2018) Highlights of this Edition The following are some of the important new features of the 2018 Edition of PPC s Guide to Auditor s Reports: Auditing Standards Board Project to Revise the Auditor s Report. The Auditing Standards Board (ASB) has a project on its agenda to revise the auditor s report. In November 2017, the ASB issued an exposure draft of a proposed Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) that would supersede AU-C 700, Forming an Opinion and Reporting on Financial Statements, and significantly revise the form and content of auditor s reports issued for audits of nonpublic entities. In conjunction with that proposal, the ASB also issued proposed SASs that would supersede AU-C 705, Modifications to the Opinion in the Independent Auditor s Report, and AU-C 706, Emphasis-of-Matter and Other-Matter in the Independent Auditor s Report. Your Guide includes a discussion of the primary provisions and status of the exposure drafts as well as four exhibits showing illustrative report examples based on the exposure drafts. Auditing Interpretation. In May 2018, the ASB released an auditing interpretation, Reporting on Audits Conducted in Accordance With Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United States of America and the Standards of the PCAOB (AU-C ), which addresses matters that may arise when an audit is conducted in accordance with both GAAS and PCAOB standards in light of the differing reporting standards. Your Guide includes a discussion of the auditing interpretation and a revised report drafting illustration that conforms to the requirements of PCAOB AS 3101 and is based on the interpretation. Other AICPA Activities. Your Guide also includes discussions about other AICPA projects, including decisions made at the July 2018 Auditing Standards Board meeting about a project to reconsider AU-C 720, Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements. The Guide also includes updated guidance on an expected new SAS that would address the responsibilities of auditors to form an opinion and report on the audit of financial statements of employee benefit plans subject to ERISA. In addition, your Guide includes a discussion on a project to revise the reporting standards for financial statements prepared in accordance with special purpose frameworks and an exposure draft of a proposed Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements that would revise portions of AT-C 105, Concepts Common to All Attestation Engagements, AT-C 205, Examination Engagements, and AT-C 210, Review Engagements. Accounting Standards Update. Since the last edition of this guide, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued numerous Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). Your Guide has been updated for those new standards as well as several previously issued standards that are soon to be effective. For example, your Guide provides more extensive guidance on FASB ASU , Not-for-Profit Entities (Topic 958): Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Entities, and its impact on the auditor s report after the adoption of the ASU. Your Guide also includes discussions of significant proposed ASUs, as appropriate. For example, your Guide includes an updated discussion of the reporting implications of the FASB s proposed accounting standard update, Consolidation (810), Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which would permit private companies to elect not to apply the VIE consolidation guidance to legal entities under common control if neither the parent company nor the entities under common control are public entities. garsub -1-
