Course Objectives: | This course is designed to provide the student with a conceptual
understanding of financial statement auditing and the nature of
other attestation services. One goal is for the student to
develop professional skepticism by becoming a critical
reader and user of information. Additionally, the student will
gain an understanding of the regulatory environment in which
auditors work and the recent changes in that environment. We
will spend most of the course learning about the process of
performing an audit, understanding the audit risk model and how
the various accounting cycles are audited. We will wrap up the
course by covering the reporting options auditors can use to
signal the quality of the financial statement reporting to
financial statement users. The material we will cover will
assist the student in preparing for the Auditing Section of the
CPA Exam; however, we do not have time to cover all topics that
might appear on the exam. |
