Description

This program explores the role of client internal controls for balancing efficiency and effectiveness in a risk-based audit. We offer practical insights regarding an auditor's assessment of the risk of material misstatement when auditing financial statements of non-issuers, with particular emphasis on internal controls of small-to-medium clients.

Basic Course Information

Learning Objectives
  • Identify minimum understanding and documentation requirements if the auditor does not intend to rely on internal controls
  • Recognize internal controls of less-sophisticated, small-to-medium sized audit clients
  • Utilize identified internal controls for an efficient, risk-based approach to audits conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
  • Document your procedures and related conclusions

Major Subjects
  • Specific matters auditors should consider when obtaining and documenting an understanding of the client's internal control system
  • Development of a tailored audit approach that considers the potential reliance on internal controls
  • Guidance for establishing an adequate basis for reliance on internal controls of less formal, smaller clients
