AICPA Issues SAS 142

The AICPA’s Auditing Standards Board has published Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 142, Audit Evidence.

SAS 142 “explains what constitutes audit evidence in an audit of financial statements and sets out attributes of information that are taken into account by the auditor when evaluating information to be used as audit evidence.” The standard “addresses the evolving nature of business, audit services and issues that have arisen since the existing AU-C section 500 was originally issued.”
