Current Issues for Auditors

Introduction

With the ever-increasing pressure on auditors to improve both quality and efficiency, coupled with the steady flow of changes to accounting and auditing standards, it’s a challenging time to be an auditor.

This virtual classroom seminar will explore the key considerations for auditors in the current climate, highlight changes to relevant standards and consider areas identified as common weaknesses by regulators.

Presented by expert speaker Richard Hemmings, this session focuses on real-life examples to provide insights into areas where audit quality issues are often identified and considers ways to avoid these without compromising on efficiency.
