Advanced Financial Management Series - Session 4: Audits - What to Do with What You Know
Session 4 of 5 of TDA’s Financial Management Series
Audits provide a verification of the financial statements and internal controls of an organization by an objective third party (such as a CPA). They let you know that financial information is presented fairly and it is materially correct, and that the organization’s internal controls are working properly as designed.
Join us for 90 minutes, while we focus on strategies you can use to address what you may find when reviewing audits and how to align your review to your monitoring and risk assessment process. This is a case-based webinar.
