Ethics Interpretation 501-3 – Failure to follow standards and/or procedures or other

requirements in governmental audits. Engagements for audits of government grants,

government units, or other recipients of government monies typically require that

such audits be in compliance with government audit standards, guides procedures,

statutes, rules and regulations, in addition to generally accepted auditing standards.

If a member has accepted such an engagement, and undertakes an obligation to

follow specified government audit standards, guides, procedures, statutes, rules, and

regulations, in addition to generally accepted auditing standards, he/she is obligated

to follow such requirements. Failure to do so is an act discreditable to the profession

in violation of Rule 501, unless the member discloses in his report the fact that such

requirements were not followed and the reasons therefor.
