Product Details

New & Improved

The GAQC has updated and refreshed its Single Audit Fundamentals series which provides basic training for staff that are new to performing single audits or that just want a refresher.

First-timers

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to an influx of billions of dollars of federal funding to governments and not-for-profits, with many entities becoming subject to single audit requirements for the first time. Some auditors of those entities may not have performed a single audit before.

Part 1: What is a Single Audit? A Basic Background and Overview, provides background and context of a single audit engagement and helps participants differentiate these engagements from traditional financial statement audit engagements.

Part 2: Major Program Determination walks through the major program determination process to help beginners understand this critical part of performing a single audit.

Part 3: Compliance Requirements and Internal Control over Compliance focuses on the execution portion of a single audit including a discussion of the types of compliance requirements and internal control over compliance.

Part 4: Overview of Sampling and Single Audit Reporting Requirements delves into single audit sampling for beginners, as well as the concluding and reporting stages of a single audit.

More advanced training

The intent of this series is to provide a strong foundation on what a single audit is and the basics of performance without delving into the nuances of the COVID-19 funding which adds a level of complexity beyond the basics. Once staff is trained at a basic level, they can take advantage of other more advanced training that introduce COVID-19 concepts offered by the GAQC.
