There are several issues companies should consider in applying step 5 of the standard: • Determining if a Performance Obligation is satisfied over time • Identifying indicators of transfer of control of good/services • Utilizing input and output methods to measure progress of revenue recognition • Understanding stand-ready obligations and how to apply discounts Delivery Method: Individual webcast CPE Credit: 1Program Level: Intermediate

Where to Hide Fraud Inventory – Expenses – Payroll
-
Online
2.00 Credits
Member Price: $89
Imagine you have one hundred boxes that are all supposed to be full of manufactured inventory. How do you obtain reasonable assurance—now defined as a high level of assurance—that each box is full without opening every one? You begin by assessing risk. If the client has strong internal controls over manufacturing, packing, and transport to the warehouse, there is reasonable assurance the boxes are properly filled. Next, evaluate warehouse security and controls over access, as well as procedures for removing inventory. Once satisfied that controls are both adequate and operating effectively, you can observe and count the boxes and selectively test a sample—ensuring you do not only choose the most accessible ones, as fraud is often concealed within the middle of the inventory. Based on this risk assessment and targeted testing, you can conclude with reasonable assurance that the inventory is properly stated without inspecting every box. This same approach applies to expenses and payroll: evaluate internal controls, observe processes, and perform independent test procedures. Weak internal controls in inventory, expenses, and payroll create opportunities for fraud that may lead to material misstatements. In this session, we will explore how these vulnerabilities arise and how to recognize and address them through effective audit procedures.

Measuring Audit Risks
-
Online
3.00 Credits
Member Price: $109
SAS 122, AU 240 requires that auditors determine if there is a significant risk that the financial statements are materially misstated due to either error of fraud. This presentation is an overview of how to determine if there is a significant risk of a material risk; whether it is due to error or fraud; and what to do in designing your audit program to address such risk. It’s important to know that without documentation as to such determination, an auditor has no basis for performing any specific audit procedure and thus would be performing a substandard audit. The standards require that each procedure be designed to decrease the possibility of a material misstatement. This program is an overview of how an auditor determines if there is a risk of a material misstatement; how document such determination; and how to address the risk if it is due to error vs fraud, because there is a big difference.
