Course Description

In Performing Initial Audits and Reaudits of Opening Balances, auditing expert Larry Perry presents a summary of AU-C Section 510 as well as the typical procedures of an audit engagement. AU-C 510 applies when a change of auditors has taken place or is in process for an audit or reaudit of financial statements. The course interfaces the requirements of AU-C Section 510 for auditing opening balances with the applicable stages of the audit process. AU-C Section 510, Opening Balances – Initial Audit Engagements, Including Reaudit Engagements, along with other Clarified Statements on Auditing Standards, is effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after December 15, 2012.
