Colm Owens & Mike O’Halloran, OmniPro 

Join Colm Owens and Mike O’Halloran on the ever popular Complete Audit Workshop.

Having helped hundreds of firms navigate the auditing and ethical standards over the years the OmniPro technical team is uniquely positioned to identify the enduring problem areas and provide solutions to the most common challenges faced by practitioners. This workshop looks at the theory of the standards blended together with the practical challenges and the requirements to comply with the monitoring expectations of the Institutes.

Colm and Mike will be focussing on the practical implementation of the new auditing and associated ethical standards – from communications, planning and procedures right through to execution, reporting and opinion forming.

If you are in any way involved in audit, this is essential-attending on an annual basis.

While the current suite of International Standards on Auditing have been with us for some time now, there are new standards and amendments being rolled out on an ongoing basis.

Auditors need to keep up to date with the fundamentals along with the changes introduced. The ongoing flood of challenges facing auditors never seems to end. Covid-19 is still very much with us, now we have to contend with Brexit and the global economic uncertaintyFinancial Reporting disclosures, asset valuations and going concern are definitely back on the agenda with a bang for 2021. It is essential that auditors now focus on optimising their processes and procedures to ensure profitable implementation of the new standards.

The notes pack will consist of detailed slides and supporting material for each component section of the workshop.

As an attendee, we are offering you the option to bundle and attend all four events, or select the individual sessions of most relevance to you. We are also providing an option for you to access to the video recordings after completion of the series.
 
Whatever your requirement, we have an option for you!
