How to Prepare High Quality ISA 700 Compliant Audit Reports

Introduction

A top-quality audit report is a vital part of the auditing process.

However good planning and fieldwork has been, the work may be wasted if the audit report is not of sufficient quality. Further there is a risk that if reports are misleading then those responsible for producing it may suffer serious professional consequences.

This new virtual classroom seminar is intended to help those drafting and finalising audit reports to ensure that the final report is of the highest quality. Recent developments such as revisions to ISA 700 in the past few years need to be properly considered to achieve this objective.

Presented by expert speaker Dr Wayne Bartlett, this session will help ensure that you are better prepared to produce high quality audit reports. This will be done through a combination of addressing the key technical points included in relevant auditing standards and practical tips as to how to make the report comprehensive and meaningful for readers whilst complying with all the key standards involved.

This session is based on international auditing principles and is applicable for relevant audit professionals working in the UK and internationally.
