Abstract
SUMMARY
On June 20, 2019, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditing Standards Board (the Board or ASB) issued a request for comment on its Exposure Draft, Proposed Statement on Auditing Standards, Audit Evidence. Enhancements in the proposed SAS include the use of emerging technologies by both preparers and auditors, audit data analytics, the application of professional skepticism, and the expanding use of external information sources as audit evidence. The comment period ended on September 18, 2019. This commentary summarizes the participating committee members' views on selected questions posed by the ASB. Questions not addressed by the committee are listed at the end of this manuscript.
