... Auditing, Attestation, and Assurance Services In the early part of the 1960s, research scientists, as part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, generated the concept that it was possible to create a globally interconnected collection of computers. Through this experiment, it was envisioned that everyone who could would be able to access data and programs quickly from any site (Elon University, 2013). Flashing forward to the world of today only five decades later, today’s world lives the benefits of these early visionaries. The database available for use by decision makers gives easy access to vast amounts of raw or filtered information. Access doors are computers, once filling a warehouse facility to do simple calculations, today available with unlimited information in a device smaller than an average hand. Amidst this quickly expanding information, available through the Internet and through other sources, the need is substantial for the reliability, the credibility, timeliness, and the relevance of the data. The better the quality of the information, the better off management, investors, and the agencies that regulate them are to make more informed decisions. The roles played by auditing, attestation, and assurance services help bridge the credibility and timeliness of the information, and the integrity by which the data was gathered . As this paper will demonstrate, auditing is made up of a group of conceptual, empirical tools that let auditors...

...INTRODUCTION International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) In 2011, international financial reporting standards (IFRS) will replace generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This means Canadian publicly-traded companies will be required to present financial statements in accordance with IFRS. This change will not only affect those involved in the development of financial information but also those who use this information. Economic globalization brings increased demand for high quality, internationally comparable financial information. That’s why in 1999, CGA-Canada took the pioneering step of advocating for the convergence to IFRS in Canada and continues today to contribute to the evolution and adoption of IFRS. By providing our professional advice to the accounting community, ensuring the latest information and professional development opportunities are available to CGAs and keeping the CGA Program of Professional Studies current, the Association is well prepared for the transition to IFRS. CGA-Canada and International Standards-Setting CGA-Canada plays a critical role in international standards-setting through exposure draft comments and its international representation by virtue of being an International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) member body. Comments to the International Accounting Standards Board, the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants and the International Accounting Education...

...Auditing, Attestation, & Assurance Services Paper Auditing, Attestation, & Assurance Services Auditing, attestation and assurance are various financial services provided for an organization based on their individual needs. The needs of companies differ as will the scope of their auditing, attestation and/or assurance service requirements. Auditing boasts both a formal definition and an informal one which describe the accounting function in its basic form as well as its interpretive meaning to the individual responsible for the function, the very core of the profession; ensuring the integrity of financial data as presented. Assurances are defined as “independent professional services that improve the quality of information, or its context, for decision makers (which) encompasses attest services and financial statement. Attest services occur when a practitioner is engaged to issue a report on subject matter, or an assertion about subject matter that is the responsibility of another party” (Accounting Concern, 2015). Auditing Service Boynton & Johnson (2006), describes auditing as “a systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence regarding assertions about economic actions and events to ascertain the degree of correspondence between those assertions and established criteria and communicating the results to interested users” (p. 6). An audit is part of the overall assurance service that specifically targets information in the financial statements...
