US members invited to advise ISO Audit Data Project Committee
ISO/PC 295 is bringing together countries from around the world to develop an international standard that will define how auditors can obtain accounting data. The group will identify format and content requirements for accounting data elements and data interface output files. Organizations doing business in the US are invited to participate in the US Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO/PC 295. The TAG will be administered by ANSI as part of a strategic partnership with OASIS. TAG participants include AICPA, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, Microsoft, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and XBRL. OASIS Sponsor members are eligible for a $4,000 discount off TAG participation fees. Contact for details.
