Learner goals and capabilities

Our auditing students need some hands on experience!! During this course, students are learning about internal control assessment, materiality, audit risks, and evidence as it relates to the auditing process. They will also highlight the requirement for developing audit plan and analytical procedures. In addition, information on the types and content of audit reports, professional judgment, ethics, and the legal obligations of auditors will be covered. The project will get students to draw attention to current issues and developments in auditing and other assurance engagements. Upon completion of the project, you will receive a detailed report and presentation.
