Where Do They Go Wrong? – Using Risk Assessment To Improve Audit Effectiveness 2 Credits
Select your learning mode
All CPAs obtain and document an understanding of their audit clients’ systems of internal control over financial reporting.  Very few, however, use that information as a basis for reducing the amount of effort required to complete the engagement and improving the effectiveness of the engagement by directing the auditor’s focus to items representing a high risk of material misstatement. One reason for this is a lack of a systematic method for performing the assessment allowing the auditor to identify control deficiencies and evaluate them about one another to determine which are of the highest priority.  In addition, there is the concern that upon testing, controls will prove unreliable, causing the audit to require more, rather than less effort.
This course introduces an approach to obtaining and documenting an understanding that will both improve the audit, making it more effective, and will save the auditor time in the performance of the engagement.Â
