Summary: The main aim of this study is to analyse the Auditing Standards applicable by the Spanish Regional External Audit Institutions (OCEX), i.e. the NIA-ES/IS-SAI-ES and the GPF-OCEX, referred to the compliance auditing, that seek to evaluate whether or not these activities, financial operations and information meet the regulations governing the audited body in all significant aspects. In this way, the objective is to make it easier for readers, who are mainly public sector auditors, to recognize the basic elements and concepts included in the aforementioned guides in order to relate them to their own auditing practice.After reviewing the main Auditing Standards related to compliance auditing re- ports, we examine the differences between reasonable assurance and limited assurance, which are essential in order to understand the content and the scope of the audit reports. Furthermore, the article examines certain aspects of the compliance audit ́s planning process, such as the objectives and the criteria of the audit, the internal control assessment or the audit risk, and also takes into consideration materiality during the auditing process. Moreover, it studies the importance of evidence gathering in order to reduce the audit risk and to support the conclusions and the opinion, and finally analyses the characteristics and structure of the compliance auditing reports.
