Internal controls over financial reporting are used to prevent, detect, and correct misstatement. They also help to reduce the chance that fraud will occur. The auditor is required to obtain an understanding of an entitys controls as part of the risk assessment process. This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to explore the design of controls over the significant systems typically found in a small- to mid-size client. Participants working in industry will find this course useful in challenging the level of internal controls currently implemented in their organizations. Participants will also learn to efficiently document their understanding of the controls and determine where it is either necessary or efficient to test them. This course focuses on the updated 2013 COSO Framework. New additions for 2019 are consideration of internal controls in the cyber age and enhancing board oversight.
