The AU's are the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards as promulgated by the ASB (a committee of the AICPA). They are numbered in sections:

AU 100s - Introduction

AU 200s - General standards

AU 300 - Standards of Fields work

and so on

The Statements on Auditing Standards (SAS) are also issued by the ASB. They are statements made by the ASB that help auditors understand how to meet the requirements of the AUs and are they are numbered consecutively as the pronouncements are issued. So, for example, SAS 106 pertains to audit evidence. Audit evidence falls under standards of field work so SAS 106 is incorporated into the 300 section of the AUs, in Section 326 to be specific. There is more specific guidance in the form of interpretation that is AU 9326. When you see an AU that starts with a 9 it is an interpretation of the same number AU.

How much does an SAS soldier earn?

As of 2001, it was recorded in the Guardian that SAS soldiers earned between £25,000 and £80,000 per annum, depending upon special skills and allowances. A private in any conventional army regiment earned a basic £13,000. Until 1980, SAS pay was little more than the basic, but it was raised in that year in order to retain skilled soldiers that might otherwise be tempted by the very lucrative private sector, where skilled ex-soldiers are in high demand. Source: see related link. The truth is that although the SAS pay scales are higher than standard infantry, accepting a lower rank in the SAS than in their previous regiment means that some SAS soldiers may take pay cuts to become the best in the world.
