MACC 691 - Adv Auditing & Analytics

3 Credit Hours
This course provides an overview of independent professional audits of companies’ financial statements. Readings from cases, as well as the textbook and professional standards, will provide a backdrop for our class discussions and facilitate interactive exercises, both focusing on the reality of auditing to the extent possible. The reality of the audit experience for individual auditors and audit firms on a day-to-day basis is shaped by compliance with lengthy and detailed standards, firm policy, and regulations, as well as various pressures from clients and other constituents such as the PCAOB. In class, we will cover these issues from the perspective of auditors who live in this world and will periodically incorporate research findings related to key topics.
