  • Description: Speaking at an AICPA conference, PCAOB Chief Auditor Thomas Ray, along with Trent Gazzaway, managing partner of corporate governance at Grant Thornton LLP, clarified how auditors can implement a top-down, risk-based approach to integrated audits under Auditing Standard No. 5 on internal controls over financial reporting. Auditors should identify and prioritize risks that have a reasonable possibility of materially affecting financials and identify controls that are important to the risk-mitigation conclusion. They should also test controls and document results.
