Audits - Review of the Standards (Live Webinar - Multi Segment)
Overview
This seminar provides a solid foundation in the practical application of the Canadian Auditing Standards (CAS) to audit engagements.

Using a case study approach, participants practice applying the standards to a set of client-specific facts. The case study is based on the audit of a moderately complex for-profit private company. Participants will also explore the key elements of documenting an engagement working paper file including, planning, engagement execution, and reporting.
