  • Description: The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board released a report April 18 that advises auditors on ways to further improve the efficiency of their audits of public companies' internal controls over financial reporting. In response to heavy criticism of the costs and inefficiencies resulting from the board's internal controls requirements, the PCAOB proposed a new audit standard last December to supersede AS 2. The proposed standard calls for audits that are more efficient, risk-based, and scaled to the size and complexity of auditors' public company clients. According to the report, inspectors during their 2006 inspections concentrated on four particular aspects of audits: integrating the audits of financial statements with audits of internal controls, using a top-down approach, using the work of others, and assessing risk.
