Subject:      Professional Standards Update No. 78, April through June 20201

To alert you to changes in professional standards, we issue Professional Standards Updates
(PSU). The purpose of these updates is to highlight the effective dates and issuance of recent
standards and guidance related to financial audits or attestations. PSUs do not contain a
complete summary of the standards. Those affected by a new standard should refer to that
standard for details. This PSU has three sections.

*  Section I identifies selected standards and guidance relevant for audits of financial
   statements for periods that ended in June 2020 through September 2020 that are coming
   into effect for the first time.

*  Section II identifies selected standards and guidance relevant for audits of financial
   statements for periods ending June 2020 through September 2020 that would have been
   effective but-as of August 2020-have been deferred.

*  Section III identifies selected standards and guidance that were issued from April 2020
   through June 2020 for financial audits and attestation engagements.



















1The scope of this Professional Standards Update includes standards and related guidance issued from April 2020
through June 2020 to the extent that such materials were publicly available as of June 30, 2020. In preparing this
update, we also identified and included certain relevant materials that were issued after June 30, 2020.
