Recent Review:

Mark S. says: "Fantastic course with valuable information about the audit process.  Audits are never fun, but knowing how the process works and how you can facilitate it and work with your auditors really is a whole new approach and really is such great info. Learned a lot in this course that will make our quarterly and annual audits so much better."


Why You Should Take This Course With Me:

Does the idea of going through a year end financial audit seem intimidating?  Not knowing what to expect from the auditors, what they will ask, how long they will be at your office, how much it will cost, and more can be unsettling.  Fret not, I am here to alleviate your fears!  Auditors are people too, and knowing the audit process will help you understand exactly what is involved.  After this course, you will be empowered to handle your next external audit with ease!

What We Do In The Course:  

  • Go step by step through the audit process

  • Discuss the initial engagement, costs, timing and the engagement letter

  • Review the planning phase, what is involved

  • Discuss audit testing, what is tested, what auditors are looking for

  • Review the account analysis process

  • Understand what the auditors report means and the types of reports they may issue

  • Discuss the finalization of the audit and what is required post audit

  • And much more! We cover a lot of information in this course!

At any point if you have a question, please feel free to ask through the course forum, I'd be happy to answer any and all questions.

Well, I am new to auditing, so I expected more content on testing controls with examples and so on. Perhaps a step-by-step guide would help. Otherwise its just okay to me. Thanks anyway.

Great course, very informative and well structured. It helped me understand the entire external audit process. Also, materials attached to the course are excellent and very helpful.

Solid overview. Should have touched on Going Concern Opinion, The Management Representation Letter and Proposed Adjustments with management’s position toward those adjustments. Also, suggest discussing the role of the balance sheet reconciliation, confirmation letter, book to physical and bank reconciliations in substantiation of book balances.

It was a great course and I am so glad to take it. In fact, I am CPA student and I needed to learn more about Auditing so that I can be ready for the next month (Sept.) to take 3 days CPA exam (Final Exam). This course made me to study more , focused on auditing reports and auditing procedures. At the end of this course, I really want to say about one more thing. If there are some more exercise how to calculate Materiality and also how auditors deal with them, they would be the best. But again, Chris you are a professional and expert and I made the most of this course. Best Regards Vahid
