Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) are a set of guidelines established by the auditing profession (in the U.S., largely through the AICPA) that dictate how audits of financial statements should be planned and conducted to ensure accuracy, consistency, and reliability. They cover auditor qualifications, fieldwork requirements, and reporting standards. Certified public accountants and auditors rely on GAAS to maintain the credibility and legal defensibility of their audit opinions.
