24SR-0027: Auditing Complex Management Estimates (Virtual)
Thursday, November 7, 2024
1:00pm - 4:30pm Central Time
4 CPE (4 technical)
Accounting estimates are often some of the most difficult and subjective amounts included in U.S. GAAP financial statements. These estimates are pervasive and often sensitive to relatively small changes in assumptions or circumstances. This can have a significant impact on the recorded (or not recorded) estimate in the financial statements. In this course, review the relevant auditing guidance related to auditing estimates, including the estimate for credit losses under ASC 326. Dig into the three most common ways auditors can approach their audit of accounting estimates: waiting for the contingency to resolve itself; auditing the client's estimation process; and developing the auditor's point or range of estimate. Explore what has changed since SAS 143 became effective for 2023 audits.
