Self-Study Courses for Public Accounting Professionals
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), State Accountancy Boards, and other regulatory and professional bodies require firms to have effective quality control systems for their assurance practices. Periodic training in auditor independence and professional ethics is an integral part of those requirements. Make sure your personnel have the information they need to uphold your Firm's obligations for auditor independence.
