This online CPE webinar
covers the following key topics:
This yellow book update webinar covers all four aspects of a Yellow Book Boot Camp:
Additional information on these components are as follows:
1. Government GAAP Update:
GASB has been issuing standards impacting state and local governments. This course will focus on:
It will close with a review of GASB’s Technical Bulletin, Accounting and Financial Reporting Issues Related to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) of 2020 and Coronavirus Diseases, as well as GASB’s Toolbox for entities to consider the impact of COVID on financial reporting.
2. Not for Profit GAAP Update:
This continuing education course takes a deep dive into revenue recognition for nonprofit entities. Attendees will be engaged through case studies to determine whether a transaction is a contribution or exchange transaction as well as whether a stipulation is a condition that impacts recognition. The course will also cover some additional guidance FASB has provided on cost-sharing as well as whether a requirement to follow a budget represents a condition. We then switch gears and look to standards directly impacting nonprofits including collections, gifts in kind, and goodwill. The online course by speaker Melisa Galasso, CPA closes with a look at how nonprofits will account for PPP loans and how they can leverage ASU 2018-08 for accounting and financial reporting.
3. Yellow Book Update:
The 2018 Yellow Book went into effect in June 2020 for audits, reviews, and attestation engagements. This online CPE course will focus on the key changes ranging from independence, quality control, and peer review, waste and abuse, and Yellow Book CPE requirements. This will cover the major changes from the 2011 version and how these changes will impact current year audits. We close with some considerations issued by GAO on how COVID19 will impact Yellow Book audits including impacts on risk assessment, evidence, and quality control.
4. Uniform Guidance Update:
This online continuing education course will keep you informed about what’s going on in Uniform Guidance including the new compliance supplement, the 2020 update to the Uniform Guidance, the GREAT Act, and how COVID19 is impacting Single Audits. We also cover internal controls over compliance. Based on an AICPA Enhancing Audit Quality study, 23% of all single audits subject to enhanced oversight were materially non-conforming with professional standards due to failure to properly test controls over compliance. This course will help firms understand how to better document testing of controls to reduce deficiency rates while keeping attendees up to date with the information they need to perform Single Audits in these changing times.
The Yellow Book 8 CPE course is recommended for CPAs, CIAs, CGAPs, Internal as well as External Auditors to upgrade their knowledge about governmental accounting and auditing.

the presentation was old. References were to 2019 and 2020. THis seminar should have been updated to new OMB issued and remove the old one. She blasted through sections I needed the most assistance with - rev recognition and Single Audit and was slow with GASB updates (which has nothing to do with my job). Presenter was easy to understand
