ISO Project Committee 295, Audit Data Collection, is developing a new standard for exchanging information from accounting and enterprise resource planning systems.
As the U.S. member body to ISO, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established a U.S. Technical Advisory Group (U.S. TAG) with the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards. The U.S. TAG comprises U.S.-based stakeholders affected by the document.
ANSI requests that all affected stakeholders review the work and provide feedback during an U.S. TAG meeting to be held June 13-14 at ANSI’s New York City office. The meeting aims to prepare experts to finalize their input on the draft and allow TAG members to build a foundation of knowledge.
The meeting is also open to observers and parties interested to join the U.S.TAG for its detailed feedback effort, which is due to commence after July. The initial phase of the project is to join global efforts to create the first “consensus” draft. In July, national mirror committees will begin to evaluate the first draft and provide national feedback to the international committee.
Stakeholders in the audit data supply chain who would like to facilitate audit data standards to meet the needs of U.S. and global stakeholders and participate in this meeting are encouraged to contact Kemi Allston at kallston@ansi.org.
Space at the meeting will be limited and priority will be given to data-modeling experts from accounting software developers.
