exposures drafts on auditing standards and statements for consideration by AASC en banc.
- If approved, the exposure draft is widely distributed to interested organizations and persons for
comment. The exposure draft shall also be published in the PICPA Accounting Times and ACPAPP
Bulletin to give it further exposure. Adequate time is allowed (generally not shorter than 90 days) for
each exposure draft to be considered by the organizations and persons to whom it is sent for
comment. Interpretations need not be exposed for comment, except when it is deemed desirable, in
which case the exposure period will normally be the same as that of the proposed auditing standards
or statements.
- The comments and suggestions received as a result of the exposure of proposed auditing standards
or statements are then considered by AASC and the exposure draft is revised as appropriate. When
the revised draft is approved, it is issued as a final PSA or PAPS.
- Issuance of exposure drafts requires approval by a majority of the members of the council; issuance
of final auditing standards, interpretations and statements require approval of at least ten members.
