Thomson Reuters Checkpoint is UST's premier resource for locating, interpreting, and finding out how to apply auditing and accounting standards. Within this resource you can search AICPA, FASB, and GASB materials, both current and historical, as well as many editorial resources that assist in defining and interpreting the standards.  Particularly useful are Checkpoint's features that allow you to print out, cite, and contextualize its material.
