Virtually, in all audits, property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) are present, at least to some extent. Under special circumstances such as the right of use under a lease, agreement complexities arise. This Online CPE course is going to address the risk of PP&E, internal controls that detect as well as prevent misstatement in PP&E, and auditing techniques responsive to the assessed risk and disclosures.
From the risk perspective, property, plant, and equipment can range from a low-risk to a high-risk audit area, depending on the nature of transactions and events engaged by the reporting entity. Construction capitalized interest and complex leasing arrangements tend to result in a higher risk of material misstatement. This webinar is going to discuss the typical audit risks. It will also discuss the special audit considerations that the auditors should implement.
The speaker is also going to discuss a detailed audit plan that is responsive to assessed material misstatements for fixed assets as well as leases. It will cover in detail the key controls that the auditor may implement to ensure substantial assurance. The webinar will also discuss lease accounting in detail from the perspective of the impacts of Topic 842. It will address tips and techniques for auditing tangible long-lived assets for various assessed risk levels, with a special emphasis on lease accounting under Topic 842.
The Online CPE webinar on Auditing covers the following Key Topics:
