Journal entry testing is a required procedure but most times auditors don’t know what is required, why they are testing journal entries or how to test them.
This course will help auditors appreciate the CAS requirements and why journal entry testing is useful in engagements. The session will walk through a practical three-step approach on how to understand, select and test journal entries in an effective and efficient manner. Specific guidance on documenting and concluding is demonstrated.
Through illustrative examples, guidance on practical application and an exploration of the standards, you will strengthen your ability to conduct effective and efficient file engagements.
