ProBeta Training presents a refresher webinar-series on the International Standard on Auditing or ISA to familiarise you with all pertinent elements directly from the standard. The approach to the webinar-series is to split the standards into the relevant phase of the audit, spending several weeks on each phase i.e. • Pre-engagement planning • Execution; and • Finalisation The series will run over the next 4 months, and each session will attempt to: • simplify the relevant standards, • highlight key elements and • provide action points from each standard to ensure that you conduct each audit in accordance with the International Standard on Auditing (ISA). Session 1 will focus on: o ISA 200: Overall Objectives of the Independent Auditor and the Conduct of an Audit in Accordance with International Standards on Auditing o ISA 230: Audit Documentation

Fundamentally the session will focus on pre-engagement and the considerations thereto, with the view to: • Simplifying the relevant standards, • Highlighting key elements and • Providing action points

Concepts that will form part of the session, which form the foundation of pre-engagement are: • Ethics, scepticism and professional judgement • Obtaining evidence • Understanding and complying with the standards • Documentation needed to support the audit report • Documentation needed to demonstrate compliance with standards • Sufficient evidence • Documenting nature, extent and timing of procedures • Closing and safekeeping of documentation

The following individuals will benefit from attending this course: • Audit trainees • Audit firm owners
