1 Route To: Partners Managers Staff File LIST OF SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES AND ADDITIONS PPC's Guide to Audits of Nonprofit Organizations Twenty eighth Edition (February 2015) Highlights of this Edition The following are some of the important new features of the 2015 Edition of PPC's Guide to Audits of Nonprofit Organizations: Revised AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. The AICPA published a revised Code of Professional Conduct in 2014, which is primarily effective as of December 15, When applicable, we have fully updated your Guide, including the practice aids, for the revised Code of Conduct. New SAS on Using the Work of Internal Auditors. SAS No. 128, Using the Work of Internal Auditors, replaces the guidance on using internal audit, whether using the work of the internal audit function or using personnel from the internal audit function in a direct assistance capacity. We ve updated your guidance and practice aids for the issuance of SAS No SSARS No. 21. Your Guide is updated for the issuance of SSARS No. 21, Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services: Clarification and Recodification, which clarifies and revises the compilation and review standards and introduces a financial statement preparation service. SSARS No. 21 is effective for engagements performed for periods ending on or after December 15, 2015, with early implementation permitted. You can use our updated guidance and practice aids to efficiently perform compilation and review engagements under the requirements of SSARS No. 21. New Practice Aids. Your Guide includes New Confirmation and Correspondence Letter. We ve added a new letter that will help component auditors communicate findings and results of their work to the group auditor. New Form. We ve added a new form that can be used to document conclusions on compliance with independence requirements applicable to the engagement, including the identification of any threats to independence and safeguards that apply. Also, the form can be used to satisfy the documentation requirements pertaining to the understanding with the client of permissible nonattest services to be performed. Accounting Standards Update. Since the last edition of this Guide, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued 14 new Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). Where applicable, among other matters, your Guide has been updated For ASU No , Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. The ASU changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Your Guide provides guidance on the new definition and criteria for discontinued operations and revised presentation and disclosure requirements. To include a summary of the long anticipated ASU No , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which was issued in May ASU No introduces a core revenue principle that applies across all industries and revenue transactions. (Because of the extended effective date of ASU No , a future edition of your Guide will be fully updated to further incorporate the applicable provisions of the new standard.) To consider the effect of ASU No , Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic ): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, on the auditor s assessment of the entity s ability to continue as a going concern. npop15sub 1

2 For ASU No , Income Statement Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic ): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items, which removes the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. To address FASB accounting developments that may impact audits of nonprofit organizations. In addition, we have discussed the status of selected ongoing FASB projects. Updated Guidance on Single Audits. If you perform Single Audits, you know how complex the auditing requirements are and that they change every year. Your Guide provides up to date guidance and practice aids for performing and reporting on Single Audits, including changes in the 2014 OMB Circular A 133 Compliance Supplement, changes in the most recent edition of the AICPA Audit Guide, Government Auditing Standards and Circular A 133 Audits, and other important changes in the Single Audit process. Your Guide also includes important new information about the OMB s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), which supersedes and streamlines requirements from eight different grant circulars (including OMB Circular A 133) into one set of guidance, and significantly changes the audit process. Although the new audit requirements are effective for December 15, 2015 year end audits, earlier effective dates for award recipients could affect both recipients and their auditors in the current year. Your Guide s discussion of the Uniform Guidance will help you and your clients prepare for the impact of the new audit requirements. Comprehensive, Up to date Disclosure Checklist. The most effective way to ensure you have properly disclosed all of the required information in the financial statements you prepare is to use our comprehensive disclosure checklist.
