I've worked for 41 years in the audit field with expertise in performance, compliance and financial auditing, and best practices in performing these audits. Over the course of my 37-year career in the New York Comptroller's Office, I served as both the Director of State Expenditures and Director of State Audits.
As Director of State Expenditures, I led a 115-person team responsible for auditing more than $70 billion in transactions annually. There were over 100,000 transactions per day. I transformed this unit from a labor-intensive, clerical audit operation to a modern, risk-based professional audit unit, using the latest audit techniques, including advanced data analysis and data mining techniques, to find fraud, waste, and improper transactions.

Audit in Action.

The AICPA has issued a proposed Statement on Auditing Standards entitled: UNDERSTANDING THE ENTITY AND ITS ENVIRONMENT AND ASSESSING THE RISKS OF MATERIAL MISSTATEMENT The challenge for the reader is that the standard is 207 pages long and it amends 7 other standards. The goal of the standard is admirable.
