“I thought it was a great review of the financial statement auditing process with great, applicable real world examples to reinforce the concepts.”
-Dawn Cammarata, Internal Audit Associate, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Today's new auditors frequently lack the core accounting and financial skills once expected in  professionals entering the field. In addition, recent events require auditors to have a better understanding of GAAP and the financial statement process. This  foundation-level, three-day seminar is intended to round  out your knowledge of operational and IT auditing with financial auditing skills. You will  learn general concepts and techniques for planning and conducting financial audits and how  to apply these basic skills to audits of specific business cycles and functions. You will  come away from this session with a basic understanding of financial statements, GAAP and GAAS,  the accounting cycle, internal  control basics, analytical procedures, and risk assessment strategies that affect  financial audits. In addition, you will cover fraud risk, SOX requirements and PCAOB standards, and how to work effectively and  efficiently with external auditors.
