OVERVIEW

Two of the most complex ASUs released in the last decade updated revenue recognition and leases. Auditing these complex accounts has never been more difficult. Revenue is often one of the largest and most significant line items in a company’s financial statements. It is also the line item that is most susceptible to fraud. Further, all companies reporting under U.S. GAAP have recently completed adoption of ASC 606. In this course, we will review the key elements of ASC 606, including key disclosure requirements for private companies under the standard. Then, we’ll focus on how to audit revenue, including the elements of an effective risk assessment related to revenue, key controls over the revenue process, and substantive procedures. For leases under ASC 842, we will review the accounting model for lessees and review in detail the key considerations in accounting for operating leases under ASC 842 and the other key guidance in the standard. Then, we’ll review common audit procedures related to auditing the lease liability and the related right-of-use asset, including reviewing the enhanced lease disclosure requirements under ASC 842. When you complete this course, you will be prepared to tackle both ASC 606 and 842.

This course features a live instructor and has been specifically designed for the NJCPA.
