Overview

Auditing Part 1 picks up where financial accounting leaves off, focused on how auditors add reliability to the numbers a company reports. It covers the core financial statements themselves, the types of evidence auditors gather while reviewing them, the standards that govern their work, how findings get documented, and how results are ultimately communicated.

Who it's for

Students who found earlier auditing material dry or textbook-heavy, and investors who want to understand what actually sits behind an auditor's report before relying on one.

Key takeaways

What evidence auditors collect and why it matters for reliability
The standards and documentation practices auditors must follow
How audit findings are communicated in a final report

The course includes a downloadable study textbook, Excel templates with worked-through lectures, and section quizzes to check understanding along the way.

About this course

Auditing is the next progression in the accounting curriculum. Auditors add value to the information prepared by the financial accountants because their work makes it more reliable and trustworthy. Whether you are going into the field of auditing or are just an investor wanting to know more about the auditors report you are reading and what goes into it, this course will help.

We learn about the core financial statements themselves, the types of evidence that an auditor will gather during their review, the standards they must follow, how they document their work, and how they ultimately communicate the results.

This course is for anyone who may have felt lost in prior auditing courses and wants real life examples and a down to earth explanation, rather than something read word-for-word out of a textbook. Is this you? Then you are in the right place!

This course is taught by an instructor with over fifteen years of training experience, including corporate training, face to face instruction, and online course development. In addition to the lectures and study material common to many other courses, this course also has a downloadable textbook/study note file, along with downloadable Excel templates paired with a lecture walking through the solution once you are done. To test your knowledge of the basic concepts we also have quizzes after each section to make sure you feel comfortable with the topic before moving on to the next one.

At the end of this course, you will have a better understanding of the standards and processes of auditing. You will be able to pass that class!! Let’s get started!
