Length: 7 h 00
Improved training for 2023-2024
Summary
Audit files are complex engagements that require rigorous documentation in accordance with CAS. In an effort to balance efficiency and effectiveness with the practitioner’s time and risks, a CPA must assess the risks of material misstatements (RMM) and the number of tests needed to adequately address his or her risk assessment.
Too often, professional inspections criticize practitioners for not documenting the number of tests based on the risks, and question whether the tests adequately cover the RMM.
Incorporating the new valuation and documentation requirements of CAS 315 – Revised, this course focuses on RMM assessments by line item in the financial statements, for both private enterprises (PE) and not-for-profit organizations (NPO). In response to the established level of risk, the practitioner should document their assessment of the number of tests of details and make a selection consistent with CAS 530 Audit sampling.
At the end of the day, the practitioner will be better able to:
- Document the accounting systems, internal controls and IT environment for RMM assessment, in accordance with the requirements of CAS 315
- Select a mixed or substantive approach
- Respond appropriately to RRM to obtain adequate and sufficient evidence
- Determine the size of tests of detail and tests of internal controls
- Use the statistical or non-statistical approach for determining the number of tests
