Description

The course involves the study of the theory and practice of professional auditing. The auditing environment has become more complex and dynamic today and the need for reliable assurance over financial reporting has intensified. This course is concerned with the technical and conceptual skills involved in an audit or examination of financial statements. Students will learn about concepts and applications related to financial statement auditors' professional responsibilities, audit evidence, internal control, audit risk, fraud consideration, audit planning, audit program, audit sampling, and audit report. Students will have opportunities to gain a better understanding of how the parts of the audit are interrelated and integrated by the audit process with a series of cases. Furthermore, given that the advancement in technologies has increased the amount of data available for analysis, we will discuss how audit data analytics are being used in all major phases of the audit.
