Unit Overview
- Description
In Audit and Risk, students develop knowledge and skills required for applying professional judgement and professional scepticism in addressing risk in auditing areas where significant professional judgement is required in the context of the audit of general purpose financial statements. The ability to integrate practical and technical skills in the audit of financial statements is an essential skill for Chartered Accountants. Students are equipped with skills for identifying and assessing risks and controls while taking into consideration the broad impact of changes in an entity and its environment. The activities and assessments simulate real-world audit experiences and challenges faced during planning, performing and concluding an audit of financial statements. Communication and collaboration skills will be developed based on simulated interactions with a variety of stakeholders to achieve audit objectives.
