Level: Update / Review

Description: Because of the turmoil on Wall Street, accountants captured headlines again in 2008. However, more professional developments occurred besides these attention-grabbing headlines. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards have been revised. New SASs added significant new requirements important to both auditors and the companies that hire them. The Accounting and Auditing Update provides practical coverage of these new requirements from the “client’s” point of view. This up-to-the minute course reviews 2008 developments in both accounting and auditing, including coverage of both national and local “audit” failures.
