By far the most thorough auditing webinar I've ever had - Ms Louis is extremely knowledgeable and presented the risk assessment process with sufficient detail and clarity, demonstrating her breadth of experience in the audit world. Wish I had her as my audit manager back in my staff auditor days!

TP

One of the best presentations on evaluating audit risk. Very practical and good use of examples that are easy to follow along. Also appreciate the insertion of many light-hearted riddles to keep the total presentation from feeling long. Great job, Jennifer!
