FALL 2008
The auditing profession has undergone enormous change since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed and in response to numerous public companies incurring legal problems. The accounting profession is no longer self-policing--now accountants must 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.
Prerequisites:
Prerequisite: Financial Accounting: Part I/X58.8101 and Part II/X58.8102, or the equivalent.
