Description
Auditors require continual knowledge of changing standards and practice issues. This seminar reviews recent revisions to the CPA Canada Handbook–Assurance and other practice matters that have occurred over the last year.
In addition to comparing new and revised assurance and other related service standards, this seminar provides an overview of projects in progress and other developments of interest to practitioners, including national issues that have been identified by practice advisory and/or practice inspection. This seminar focuses exclusively on changes to audit standards.
