One of the ways to perform a more effective and efficient audit is to maximize the use of substantive analytic procedures in the detailed audit plan. The analytic procedure covers the evaluations of financial information through the analysis of plausible relationships among both financial and non-financial data. To ensure the internal control of the organization analytic procedures can provide substantial support. Such investigation, as necessary, of identified fluctuations or relationships that are inconsistent with other relevant information or that, differ from expected values by a significant amount.
This Online CPE webinar discusses key questions about using an analytic procedure to ensure better audit results and strong internal control procedures to avoid material misstatements. It explores the area of how you can strengthen your analytic evidence to satisfy your audit objectives and enhance the quality of the audit. The speaker goes into detail on the subject and identifies key elements to have a strong analytic procedure that can either eliminate or mitigate the need for more extensive tests to have details. However, without key documentation, this would not be realized. The speaker Jennifer Louis delves into improving documentation of design, evaluation, and results of an audit from analytics. The webinar covers two key topics exploring key factors that you must include while describing your expectations from the audit and recognizing the sources of assumptions that you are making as you are comparing actual to formal for reaching conclusions.

This Online CPE webinar will provide tips and best practice techniques for strengthening substantive analytic procedures to reduce over-reliance on tests of details.
