Principles of Auditing and Assurance Services

 

ACCT1-CE8202 / $695
SPRING 2012
Continuing Education: Accounting, Taxation, and Legal Programs

The auditing profession has changed significantly since the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was passed in response to legal problems incurred by numerous public companies. No longer self-policing, the accounting profession must now meet regulations set by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. This course reviews these regulations and covers related issues, such as how accountants are obliged to provide assurance that financial statements fairly represent the financial picture of a company. In addition, we study Section 404 of the Act that requires external auditors to report on a company's internal controls over financial reporting.
