Overview

Level 1 focuses on the basic skill sets that new staff need to quickly master in order to “hit the ground running,” while not overwhelming them with too much information all at once. This course explains the basics of what new auditors are generally expected to know and do. This course will focus on “why” certain procedures are performed, as well as “how” to perform typical procedures expected of new staff. This course is critical in establishing the groundwork for the expectation that all staff should critically analyze and understand the underlying purpose of procedures, as well as how to effectively and efficiently complete assigned tasks. IMPORTANT NOTE: This course takes place over two consecutive days. Registration for both days is required.

Major Topics:

Each module includes a lecture followed by in-class group case studies and activities. In this two-day course, the following two-hour modules will be presented:

  • Day 1:
    • Transitioning to the accounting profession
    • Code of ethics: importance of professional skepticism and independence
    • Exceeding expectations: desired traits of entry-level auditors
    • Risk assessment basics
    • Internal control fundamentals
    • Compilations and reviews: the contrasting nature of preparation engagements, compilations, and reviews
  • Day 2:
    • Auditing cash and cash equivalents
    • Auditing property, plant, and equipment
    • Auditing accounts payable and debt
    • Audit documentation
