Overview
Auditors identify and assess the risks of a material misstatement by understanding the entity and its environment. Privately owned companies present unique challenges. During this course, we'll examine: Do identifiable controls exist? Do owners/managers promote compliance with company policies? Do owners/managers document controls and communicate them to staff? Are these controls observable? Can they be tested for operating effectiveness? Do owners/managers monitor employee performance and evaluate the controls in place?
