AICPA IT Training School – How to Identify and Manage IT Risk in Assurance Services

The Audit School was developed to help auditors as well as Controllers or internal audit staff better understand how Information Technology (IT) impacts financial reporting. In addition, the school uncovers the essential guidance as to what IT considerations need to be addressed and the extent to which they should be considered, tested and reported on within the conduct of a financial statement audit.

Attendees will get a better understanding of:

• The type and scope of documentation needed to prepare and provide the auditors and materials they may need to prepare outside of the Finance department.
• The personnel needed to have available during the audit.
• What is needed from IT and IT’s role in the audit -- particularly for attendees that may not have had IT personnel previously support an audit, but may now need to do so due to the additional information to be gathered or IT controls to be tested under recent audit standards.

Limited to 50 participants.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
CPAs on every level who have little or no experience with IT audits, controllers, internal audit managers and staff involved in documenting the IT function for financail reporting audits.
