[WEB4] Internal Controls: Testing and Communicating Deficiencies
Description
Internal controls over financial reporting are used to prevent, detect, and correct misstatement. They also help to reduce the chance that fraud will occur. Auditors are tasked wit determining when controls should be tested, designing the tests of controls, performing the tests and documenting and communicating the results of the efforts. Although auditors are not required to search for deficiencies, they do have to consider whether there are areas where the potential for material weakness could occur. This course will discuss those areas and what mitigating factors could be considered in evaluating controls and the resulting communication that are required from the auditor.
