If you thought applying one set of audit standards is tough enough, how about applying three different sets of audit standards in one “single” audit? That’s exactly what happens when the auditor applies GAAS, the Yellow Book and the OMB requirements in a Single Audit. This session will start with a single audit “nuts and bolts” overview before delving into unique aspects and audit issues of the “soon to be closed out” era of pandemic-related funding, and of course update any recent changes to the funding programs and compliance supplement issues. Recent changes now effective to the Single Audit and Uniform Guidance rules will also be covered. Join our expert panel of federal, state and local auditors and practitioners to learn what you need to know if you are performing audits under these audit standards and the Uniform Guidance for Federal Awards. YELLOW BOOK: Qualifies for Yellow Book CPE based on your unique audited entity.
