Course Details
Going concern is one of the most topical areas in audit and financial reporting at the moment. ISA 540 on going concern was revised in 2019 which put more responsibility on the auditor to identify and assess any events or conditions that indicate an uncertainty related to going concern. In this course we unpack the technical requirements of ISA 240 and provide practical advice on audit evidence and documentation so that your audit files stand up to scrutiny.
Lindsay Webber covers the following topics during this course:
- ISA 540 requirements
- Audit evidence
- Professional scepticism
- Disclosure in the financial statements
- Impact on the audit opinion
