Course Overview

A CPA may engage with clients for various attest and nonattest services. However, it is required to know that there are standards for each of the services. If these standards are not met, each of these services also carries the risk of litigation. Therefore it is required the CPAs to make the required preparations for all types of engagement.

A CPA may perform various attest services under relevant professional standards, including compilations, reviews, and audits. Reviews and audit engagement are also considered assurance services, providing either limited or reasonable assurance that financial statements are free of material misstatement. In addition, the CPA may perform non-attest services, such as bookkeeping or the preparation of financial statements.

CPAs must fully understand the professional responsibilities related to each of these varying levels of services, to effectively and efficiently satisfy engagement objectives. It is also clear that with increased services from bookkeeping and write-up to compilation, review, and audit – the requirements, preparation, and risk changes. The webinar will also discuss the most common issues faced during all types of engagements. We will also discuss special purpose frameworks and other related issues for various engagements. Finally, the speaker will discuss the best practices for all types of engagements.
