The  AICPA's Auditing Standards Board (ASB) has redrafted almost all of the auditing sections in the Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards (contained in AICPA Professional Standards).

This "Clarity Project"  has the goal to make the standards easier to read, understand, and apply.

Clarified Statements on Auditing Standards (SASs), issued by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB), are effective for audits ending on or after December 15, 2012, and will replace existing SASs in 2014. Until then, both SASs and clarified SASs are available within AICPA Professional Standards. The clarified standards are current as of June 1, 2012.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) is the world’s largest member association representing the accounting profession.

The AICPA sets ethical standards for the profession and U.S. auditing standards for audits of private companies, nonprofit organizations, federal, state and local governments.

Before enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX),  the AICPA set the auditing standards for public companies (issuers), but that is now the responsibility of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).
