Course Description

Auditing standards have some significant changes coming for both public company and private company audits. There is a new auditor's report for private company audits and a new auditing standard for audits specific to employee benefit plans. For PCAOB, on the horizon are new requirements for auditing estimates and use of the work of specialists. Many auditors, and by extension, many of those in industry, will likely have to prepare for these changes. This session, which is geared for not only auditors, but those in industry as well, will give an overview of the changes and the background of the changes to help drive an understanding of what is ahead.
