It is critical that auditors understand the complexities of the specialized accounting and regulatory requirements of the health care industry. This guide is considered the industry standard resource and the 2017 update contains practical, "how-to" guidance for accounting and auditing of health care entities. Prepared and reviewed by industry experts to provide hands on, practical guidance for those who work in and with health care entities, this 2017 edition includes relevant GASB and FASB updates (including those related to private companies), and auditor involvement with municipal securities findings.
