It covers the revised requirements of ISA 570 on going concern, the implementation of ISQM 1 and its quality management components, and the audit treatment of cash flow statements. It also examines risks associated with journal entries and how technology and analytical procedures can support fraud prevention.

      By the end of the course, you’ll be better equipped to apply recent audit standards with confidence, strengthen your approach to quality management, and sharpen your awareness of audit areas that are most vulnerable to risk and error.
