ASPE Common Presentation and Disclosure Deficiencies MARCUS Guenther cpa, ca, MBA FocusROI Inc mguenther@focusroi.com
Self-evaluation questions • Do our audit files specifically assess the RMM for financial statement presentation and disclosure and design the appropriate response? • Is a fully referenced copy of the final financial statements, including the notes to the FS included in the file showing where numbers came from with the appropriate audit evidence? • Does the firm have a step-by-step training program for all new senior staff on how to prepare financial statements and use the firm tools? • Does the firm have an up-to-date notes library and F/S template for the staff to use? • Does the firm use a disclosure checklist when preparing and/or reviewing the F/S? • Do all F/S (both audit and review) go through a final QC process before being released? • Have previous inspection or monitoring deficiencies been addressed?
Who is responsible for ensure the F/S are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP?
