Learning Objective

  • To explain engagement planning best practices for high-quality and profitable engagement.

  • To recognize and determine the most appropriate nature, timing, and extent of audit procedures for maximum effectiveness and efficiency.

Course Overview

“No one thinks that planning is unimportant, but they may think they already know where the risks are or which procedures they need to perform,”

Audit planning is one of the areas that cause disagreement among auditors. Some see it as a burden, others as a way to a more efficient and effective audit. The biggest factors that lead to an effective and efficient financial statement audit are the proper identification, evaluation, and response to the risk of material misstatement. Assessed risk of material misstatement leads to the generation of the nature, timing, and extent of further audit procedures.

Join this online CPE course that will focus on how to enhance engagement in team brainstorming and discussions to leverage knowledge to create a high-quality and profitable audit approach.

Major topics covered in this CPE/CPD Accounting & Auditing webinar are:
