Re: Invitation to Comment on AU-C Section 935
Dear Ms. Hazel:
The Virginia Society of CPAs (VSCPA) Accounting & Auditing Advisory Committee has reviewed the Exposure Draft for the Proposed Statement on Auditing Standards, Amendment to AU-C Section 935. The VSCPA is a leading professional association dedicated to enhancing the success of all CPAs and their profession by communicating information and vision, promoting professionalism, and advocating members’ interests. The VSCPA membership consists of more than 13,000 individual members who actively work in public accounting, private industry, government and education. We appreciate the work the AICPA has undertaken on this effort and the opportunity to respond to this Exposure Draft.
Overall, we support the proposed amendments to AU-C Section 935. We believe the proposed amendments are appropriate and complete. The additional language identifying paragraphs that are not applicable to a compliance audit is helpful to those in public practice and consistent with SAS 142 and 145. We also believe the effective date of the proposed amendments are clear.
Again, the Committee appreciates the opportunity to respond to this Exposure Draft. Please direct any questions or concerns to VSCPA Vice President, Advocacy Emily Walker, CAE, at [email protected] or (804) 612-9428.
Sincerely,
George Crowell, CPA
