Description: AASHTO's New Uniform Audit and Accounting Guide: New Guidance for Successful Overhead Audits

AASHTO is releasing a New Uniform Audit and Accounting Guide - which the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to incorporate into future regulations - that dramatically changes how engineering firms are audited. The new Audit Guide affects every A/E firm with DOT clients and will change how you do business.

The new Audit Guide increases the reliance on and importance of a CPA overhead audit for all A/E firms with State DOT clients! This session will focus on what you need to know to have a successful overhead audit.

Led by Wayne Owens, a CPA and a key member of the AASHTO/AICPA Audit Guide Taskforce, the session will cover topics such as:

  • Increased Reliance on CPA Audits
  • New Requirements for determining CPA firm qualification
  • New Risk Analysis for all A/E firms
  • Overview of the new CPA Workpaper Review Program
  • Overhead Audit Testing Requirements
  • Compliance with AICPAs Professional Standards
  • New standardized Internal Control Questionnaire

    THIS IS A CRITICAL SESSION FOR ALL FIRMS THAT CONTRACT WITH STATE DOTS!
