About the course

Auditing is a complex but crucial area for many organisations. With confidence in audit diminishing in some jurisdictions, it is increasingly important that a high-quality audit is carried out. Not only has international auditing seen several changes within the last year, but the Covid-19 pandemic has introduced many challenges, and auditors can no longer simply rely on their audit software to handle such changes.

This course will keep you up to date on all the key changes in international auditing and the associated standards, with a particular focus on how this area has had to adapt in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Familiarise yourself with the procedures involved in obtaining auditing evidence and the key things to remember when finalising audits.
