Level 1 Audit Training covers the basics of auditing that new auditors need to be set up for success in their careers. Qualifying for 16 auditing CPE credits, this live virtual training is broken into four separate four-hour sessions. The training will explain how to audit cash, inventory, expenses & payables, as well as property, plant, & equipment. It will also introduce the basic assertions and risks applicable to these accounts. Additionally, it will provide an introduction to ethics and professional skepticism, risk assessment, internal control fundamentals, and best practices for work papers and audit documentation.
Level 1 Audit Training will be engaging and interactive, with opportunities to work in small groups and apply knowledge learned. At Galasso Learning Solutions, we don’t believe in stale, dry, or boring CPE training sessions but rather real-world information that promotes interactive learning. Attendees of Level 1 Audit Training will understand the fundamentals of auditing and have a solid foundation for all future audit learning.
