This course introduces a practical approach to auditing. It focuses on the systematic process to include the kind of teaching that students will face in the real world.

Students will walk through the audit process and discover the important elements, such as documenting a client's system of internal control, performing tests of compliance, and applying substantive test procedures to account balances. Students will review and learn about the process of flowcharting a system of internal control, referencing, statistical sampling, using tick marks on audit workpapers and performing analytical review procedures. They will also get a good understanding of the various audit reports issued by the auditor. Different legal issues and professional ethics in the field of auditing are also discussed. The course is designed to give everyone a comprehensive look at the audit process. Students will not only look at the audit engagement, but will also learn of other services performed by CPA firms. After successfully completing this course, the student should feel comfortable with the audit process and maybe in a situation to help other auditors in a CPA firm. Moreover, understanding the audit process is a must for accounting students because they will broaden their overall view of accounting and develop a better appreciation for it. Those who are knowledgeable in auditing are more likely to obtain higher positions in a company because they will be able to communicate better with outside auditors. Either way students will be better prepared to pursue their studies in auditing and use the course as a step towards preparing for the uniform CPA examination, if they choose to be certified.
