description
Many audit findings point to the same issue: weak analytical procedures. This focused workshop shows you how to transform basic analytics into powerful audit evidence that satisfies peer reviewers while enhancing audit quality.Instead of treating analytics as a documentation checkbox, you'll learn to design procedures that actually provide meaningful assurance. Through practical examples and case studies, you'll discover how to strengthen each phase of analytical testing—from preliminary planning to final review.You'll learn how to:• Design analytics that provide genuine audit evidence rather than superficial comparisons• Select the most appropriate analytical techniques for different audit assertions• Establish expectations with proper precision levels and defensible rationales• Evaluate data reliability to ensure your analytics rest on solid foundations• Document your analytics in ways that clearly demonstrate professional judgment• Determine when analytics can reduce detailed testing and when they cannotOther topics covered:• Common peer review findings related to analytical procedures• Elements that transform weak analytics into strong audit evidence• Documentation approaches that satisfy reviewers and regulators• Techniques for investigating unexpected fluctuations more effectively• Methods for integrating analytics throughout the audit processValuable for: Audit partners, managers, seniors, and staff looking to improve audit quality and efficiency. This workshop provides practical guidance on using analytics to enhance evidence while satisfying documentation requirements.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
