Consideration of Fraud

Description

Even though “fraud” is the forbidden “F word” in auditing, this course should not be forbidden! In this CPE eligible (1.0 hour) eLearning course, we will explore an auditor’s responsibilities for considering fraud in an audit, including the process to identify a fraud risk, how to respond to an identified fraud risk, and how to appropriately communicate any (suspected) fraud. This consideration of fraud CPE course is a must in any auditors' toolkit if you perform audits under either U.S. GAAS or PCAOB auditing standards.

  • The guidance required by both PCAOB and U.S. GAAS is primarily the same as it relates to the various topics discussed in this course. If there are any significant differences between the two sets of standards, the course differentiates between the two.
