OVERVIEW

In this comprehensive Audit Staff Essentials course, first year staff will be provided with the foundational knowledge they will need to be successful, not only on their first few engagements, but throughout their careers. First year staff will plant the roots to becoming a successful auditor and member of the firm. From introducing the audit from the perspective of the firm rather than the classroom, to understanding the dynamics of in-firm and client relationships, this course stresses the core knowledge an auditor will need for life.
