  Course Description

  • This course provides an introduction into the field of external financial statement
    auditing. The course provides coverage of the environment in which auditing takes place as well
    as a study of audit objectives and the appropriate procedures for meeting those objectives. The
    focus of the course is on the auditor’s decision-making process. This process includes judgments
    regarding the nature and amount of evidence the auditor should accumulate after considering the
    unique circumstances of each audit engagement. This course also provides a good background
    on which an individual can build to prepare to sit for the auditing section of the CPA exam.
