Even if intimately familiar with the standards (e.g., FAS 5, AS 5, AS 2) applicable to inspections of clients' internal controls and associated risk measures, auditing firm professionals often find their acumen tested by complex situations.
Auditing challenges frequently arise with controls testing, controls sampling, prudent risk assessment and other mandates under internal controls-related standards. These issues continue to be problematic for audit clients and even for experienced outside audit professionals.
Experiences, best practices and warning signs offered by seasoned peers can fortify your approach in tackling these higher-level, ongoing challenges with evaluating internal controls.
Listen as our panel of veterans in outside audits demonstrates and drills into the most problematic aspects of internal controls and risk management measures.

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
