CERTIFICATE IN AUDITING

As of the summer 2012 semester, this certificate program is no longer open to new applicants. Although the Certificate in Auditing is no longer an option, students can opt to apply the individual courses listed below towards completion of the Certificate in Accounting.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, along with other recent legislation, has increased the requirements for public companies and auditors with respect to financial reporting, internal control, and disclosure. These changes have created a marked increase in the demand for audit professionals.

A fundamental knowledge of financial accounting and reporting is recommended.

Upon completion of the program, students have covered:

• Audit risk analysis, planning audit engagements, and audit reports.
