AUDITING STANDARDS 2
Generally Accepted Auditing Standards
Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) are sets of standards used to judge the
quality of audits performed. The US GAAS are ten auditing standards developed by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The GAAS consists of
general standards, standards of field work, and standards of reporting. From the AICPA,
AU Section 150, the US GAAS are as follows:
General Standards
1. The auditor must have adequate technical training and proficiency to perform the audit.
2. The auditor must maintain independence in mental attitude in all matters related to the audit.
3. The auditor must use due professional care during the performance of the audit and the
preparation of the report.
Standards of Field Work
1. The auditor must adequately plan the work and must properly supervise any assistants.
2. The auditor must obtain a sufficient understanding of the entity and its environment, including
its internal control, to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements
whether due to error or fraud, and to design the nature, timing, and extent of further audit
procedures.
3. The auditor must obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence by performing audit procedures
to afford a reasonable basis for an opinion regarding the financial statements under audit.
Standards of Reporting
1. The auditor must state in the auditor's report whether the financial statements are presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
