Government Auditing Standards

Government Auditing Standards are a set of professional guidelines used by auditors to evaluate how government agencies and programs are managed and their financial information. These standards ensure audits are conducted thoroughly, objectively, and consistently, providing reliable results. They emphasize independence, integrity, and proper documentation, helping to identify issues such as waste, fraud, or mismanagement. By following these standards, auditors help promote transparency and accountability in government operations, ensuring public trust in the proper use of taxpayer funds and resources.
