While identifying risk and performing audit procedures are important parts of an audit, evaluating the results of those procedures are just as important. If audit results aren’t evaluated, then an audit opinion cannot be issued! This CPE course on evaluating audit evidence gives you the knowledge you need to know what it takes to evaluate audit results in a financial statement audit. It's a complex topic under both. U.S. GAAS and PCAOB auditing standards, because the requirements are governed by various auditing standards. This course includes a discussion of the following PCAOB and U.S. GAAS standards:
1. AS 2810, Evaluating Audit Results
2. AS 1215, Audit Documentation
3. AU-C Section 330, Performing Audit Procedures in Response to Assessed Risks and Evaluating the Audit Evidence Obtained
4. AU-C Section 450, Evaluation of Misstatements Identified during the Audit
The guidance required by both the PCAOB, and the AICPA 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.
