BUACC3741 Auditing
This unit enables students to develop an understanding of the underlying concepts, practice, theory, legal and ethical issues of auditing. The unit considers the audit function as it relates to the assurance engagement framework and how legislation and accounting and auditing standards provide guidance on completing the audit. It also considers issues of auditor independence, ethical threats and safeguards; client acceptance; management assertions; audit risk; the internal control environment and the attainment of sufficient and appropriate audit evidence. Other areas include auditor liability and completion of the audit report. Each topic begins with a critical review of key theoretical concepts that are then applied to practical settings.
