About the course

As auditing becomes more specialised and more responsibility is placed on the auditor, the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) are going through some changes.

This course examines the latest changes to the ISAs, including the new International Standards on Quality Management, ISQM 1 and ISQM 2.

It also looks at some of the more contentious areas of audit that cause problems for firms, including specific issues with audit evidence highlighted by file reviewers, and how to ensure the auditor’s report and the audit opinion is appropriate.
