The General Accounting Office’s Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) have been revised for the first time since 2011. For auditors performing Single Audits, these Yellow Book  standards present new requirements and expand activities that can call auditors’ independence into question.

From peer reviews to waste and abuse, changes are significant. Auditors must also understand how to document and defuse nonaudit services that could pose threats to their independence—or decline the engagement.

No wonder the GAO is strongly recommending continuing professional education on GAGAS.  Here’s where to start.
