SUMMARY: On January 31, 2002, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO),
on the recommendation of the Advisory Council on Government Auditing
Standards, issued an exposure draft of proposed revisions to Government
Auditing Standards (also known as the Yellow Book) (GAO-02-340G). The
changes propose revision throughout the entire set of standards except
for the second general standard, independence, which was revised
separately. The proposed revisions fall into three categories: GAGAS
framework, consistent application of the standards where applicable to
the various types of audits, and strengthening or streamlining the
standards.
DATES: Comments are accepted through April 30, 2002.
ADDRESSES: A copy of the exposure draft can be obtained on the Internet
on GAO's Home Page (www.gao.gov/govaud/ybk01.htm). Additional copies of
these proposed revisions can be obtained from the U.S. General
Accounting Office, Room 1100, 700 4th Street, NW., Washington, DC
