         OPERATIONAL AUDITING AND AUDITING STANDARDS

                             by

                   Ellsworth H. Morse, Jr.
                Assistant Comptroller General            g
                U. S. General Accounting Office

         Presented at American Management Association
         Seminar on Operational Auditing      cations
              New York City, September  4, 1973


     The term operational auditing is one of the terms

used to identify a kind of auditing that goes beyond examina-

tion of accounting and related records for the purpose of

expressing professional opinions on financial-statements

or checking accountability for funds.  The extended audit-

ing involves examining into the operating, managerial, or

administrative performance of selected aspects of an activity

or organization beyond that required for the audit of the

accounts and financial transactions.

     The primary purpose of such extended auditing is to

evaluate the quality of management or operational performance

and to identify opportunities for greater efficiency and

economy, or for increased effectiveness in carrying out

procedures or operations.  The basic objective is improve-

ment in relation to the goals of the organization.
