The global financial crisis emphasized the importance of credible, high-quality audits and financial reporting. The pursuit of audit quality is intrinsically changing over time, along with new guidelines from regulatory groups, emerging technologies and innovative approaches.
Join us for an engaging webcast where we will explore how audit quality has evolved, how technology fits into the picture and best practices for measuring quality. Attendees will learn how data is driving audit processes, and how technology helps visualize the accounting practices of clients. Topics will include rise of the machines and their impact on audit, addressing the public perceptions of audit, whose responsibility it is to ensure audits meet minimum quality, and exercising professional skepticism.
