The Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) cover all the auditing standards, practices, and procedures in use today. This indispensable guide explains and interprets the standards in clear, non-technical language, presents each statement one by one, and explains how to standards are related. It also includes practice notes, practical illustrations, checklists, and questionnaires to guide the user through the auditing process.
