Course Brief

The Advanced Audit & Assurance module is used to analyse, evaluate and conclude on the assurance engagement and other audit and assurance issues in the context of best practice and current developments.

The Advanced Audit and Assurance (AAA)(INT) syllabus is essentially divided into seven areas.
 
The syllabus starts with the legal and regulatory environment including money laundering, and professional and ethical considerations, including the Code of Ethics and professional liability. This then leads into procedures in practice management, including quality control and the acceptance and retention of professional engagements.
 
The syllabus then covers the audit of financial statements, including planning, evidence gathering and evaluation. It then covers the completion, review and reporting on an audit of historical financial information. The next section moves onto other assignments including prospective financial information, due diligence and forensic audit as well as the reporting of these assignments.
 
The final section covers current issues and developments relating to the provision of audit-related and assurance services.
