This on-demand webinar offers a focused examination of the PCAOB's Quality Control Standard QC 1000, which introduces a risk-based framework for managing audit quality across registered firms. Participants will explore the standard's core elements-governance, ethics, engagement performance, resource management, communication, and monitoring-designed to strengthen firm accountability and align with evolving regulatory expectations. With expert instruction from Jennifer Louis, the course outlines implementation timelines, documentation and evaluation requirements, and firm responsibilities for ongoing compliance. Additional considerations for firms auditing over 100 issuers, including external oversight and whistleblower protections, are also addressed. Emphasis is placed on system scalability, proactive risk assessment, and continuous improvement to ensure audit quality and regulatory readiness.
