On September 23, 2024 the AICPA’s Accounting & Review Services Committee proposed SSARS Applicability of AR-C Section 70 to Financial Statements Prepared as Part of a Consulting Services Engagement, would amend the applicability of AR-C section 70, Preparation of Financial Statements, in AICPA Professional Standards to explicitly exclude financial statements prepared as part of a consulting services engagement performed in accordance with CS section 100, Consulting Services: Definitions and Standards, in AICPA Professional Standards from those engagements in which AR-C section 70 is required to be applied. The comment period ends December 20.
The proposed SSARS would become effective for the preparation of financial statements for period ending on or after December 15, 2026. Early implementation would be permitted.
