Overview

Many times, auditors face challenges in how to apply the standards. This course will help auditors appreciate the CAS requirements and how to meet them. 

Using a practical five-step approach, this course will help auditors identify and assess the risk of material misstatement related to accounting estimates, design and perform risk responses and conclude and report. Furthermore, auditors will leave with a solid approach to documentation.  

Through real-world scenarios and illustrative examples, auditors will have a better understanding of the requirements and be able to audit accounting estimates and related disclosures in an effective and efficient manner.
