Responsibility for setting all audit standards to be followed in the audit of public companies rests with the NGOs.
<h3>Who is responsible for setting auditing standards?</h3>
Certified public accountants receive standards, guidelines, auditing, attestation, and quality control statements from the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) (CPAs). It is the senior technical committee of the AIPCA, and its job is to create generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) for private companies.
The auditor has a duty to prepare and carry out the audit in order to get a reasonable assurance regarding the absence of a major misstatement, whether brought on by fraud or error.
In order to reduce audit risk, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), a nonprofit organization, regulates audits of publicly traded corporations. In order to address the accounting crises of the late 1990s, the PCAOB was founded concurrently with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
