ProBeta Training would like to take the opportunity to invite all your first-year trainees to join us for five days of auditing. During these five days, I will do a step-by-step audit simulation where trainees will perform audit procedures on all the relevant and crucial sections applicable to junior trainees. Delegates will be provided with a set of financial statements and all the supporting documents they would receive in a real-life audit. Together we shall perform the audit where we teach them how to document appropriately in terms of the standards, what should be included in working papers, understanding assertions, and learn what audit procedures to perform for each of the sections listed below in the contents. Inclusive of the course, delegates will learn valuable soft skills such as how to approach clients, work as a team, assertiveness, time management, etc. This course assists delegates with being able to prepare a sample audit file to which they can always refer back to after the workshop. All first-year trainee accountants with a B. Com or similar degree and Basic Microsoft Word, Excel, and Windows skills will benefit greatly from attending this course. Please note: Delegates will be required to upload their working papers for review by an Assessor. Feedback will be provided by the Assessors by way of review notes.
