All Auditors are NOT created equal
By Carol Cataldo (reprinted with permisssion)
 
Let's talk auditors. They're definitely not all created equal...nor are all experienced or knowledgeable. And, yes, some do push the envelope.
 
Changes in Audit Standards - Understanding SAS 112
 

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) Auditing Standards Board issued a new code of standard in May 2006 regarding communication of internal controls. The document, Statements on Auditing Standards No. 112, (SAS No. 112) is applicable whenever an auditor expresses an opinion on financial statements (including a disclaimer of opinion). It is effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after December 15, 2006.
