In July, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) released its latest revision of Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS)—also called the Yellow Book—which supersedes the 2011 version. Yellow Book standards are used for audits of governmental agencies, usually on the federal level, as well as for audits of the private entities that contract with them. Susan M. Barossi, chair of the NYSSCPA’s Government Accounting and Auditing Committee, said that the major difference between the 2011 and 2018 versions involves presentation.
