Course Description

The Auditing Standards Board issued two standards impacting how we perform our audits. With the rise of technology by both auditees and auditors, the concept of audit evidence needed an update. With new definitions and requirements, these standards bring audits into the 21st century. In addition, as financial reporting frameworks transition from rules based to principles‐based approaches, auditors need to be more comfortable auditing a larger variety of estimates. As a result, the ASB provides some changes to the risk‐based approach to auditing estimates foreshadowing the changes expected in risk assessment. 

In this course, Melisa Galasso, CPA will walk through these changes and walk through how to effectively implement them with a focus on quality control.
