Webcast: 2024 Annual Update for Governmental Accountants and Auditors
159 | Webcast | Update | Scheduled
Description
This course begins with a look at the GASB standards effective this year, including GASB 100, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, and GASB 101, Compensated Absences. We'll include practical application of the topics in the form of case studies. We'll then switch gears to review the GASB standards coming down the pike, including major projects of the GASB. When considering the audit side of the house, Yellow Book and single audit engagements are considered must-select engagements for peer review. This course will cover the Yellow Book independence requirements that are required any time an auditor performs a Yellow Book or single audit, even when the engagement is for a for-profit entity. The session will also cover the changes to the Uniform Guidance. We'll close with a look at the key changes in the 2024 Compliance Supplement and the common deficiencies identified by the federal agencies and peer reviewers.
