Auditing Bits in Bytes™ is a series of eight individual sessions that
guides professionals through the complete audit process from “A to Z” –
starting with Pre-Engagement Planning Activities, and going all the way
through Wrap-up and Quality Control. The auditing profession is
undergoing the most significant changes in modern history. Think about
it. The Auditing Standards Board issued 14 new Statements on Auditing
Standards all effective within two years of each other, the GAO revised
Government Auditing Standards (twice!) in 2007, the PCAOB has six
additional Auditing Standards related to audits of SEC “issuers” that
directly influenced standards established for “non-issuers”,
independence rules promulgated by all relevant standard setters have
been clarified and enhanced, and Statements on Quality Control Standards
for firms performing attestation services have also been revamped and
strengthened. Whew! That is a lot! And to think that professionals
complained about being confused before all these changes occurred!! All
professionals, both those that are new to performing financial statement
audits and those with previous experience, can benefit from focused
training that walks participants through the complete audit process from
“A to Z”, providing practical tips and best practices for ensuring an
effective and efficient financial statement audit in compliance with
relevant professional and regulatory standards.
