GAGAS & GAAS Standards
Understanding Government Auditing Standards and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards.
Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS)
The Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards, also known as the Yellow Book, provide a framework for conducting high-quality audits with competence, integrity, objectivity, and independence. These standards are essential for audits of government organizations, programs, activities, and functions, as well as for audits of government assistance received by contractors, nonprofit organizations, and other nongovernmental organizations.
At Cascos & Associates, PC, our auditors are well-versed in GAGAS requirements and apply these standards to all applicable engagements, ensuring our clients receive audits that meet the highest professional standards.
Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS)
GAAS are a set of systematic guidelines used by auditors to conduct audits of companies' financial records. These standards ensure the accuracy, consistency, and verifiability of auditors' actions and reports. GAAS are established by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Our firm maintains strict adherence to GAAS in all financial statement audits, providing our clients and their stakeholders with confidence in the reliability of our audit opinions.

Whether your organization requires a financial statement audit under GAAS, a compliance audit under GAGAS, or a single audit under the Uniform Guidance, our team has the expertise to deliver quality results.
