The control and compliance requirements for single audits differ from the requirements for GAAS audits.

This course is designed to help you proceed and succeed in applying the single audit control and compliance requirements contained in the 2024 revision to the Uniform Guidance for Federal Awards. Over 15 focused exercises are included to provide an enhanced working knowledge of the most critical challenges in single auditing today.Speaker - Charlie Blanton, CPA

2025 Accounting & Auditing Update for Small Businesses
-
Online/Webcast
4.00 Credits
See more dates
For many small businesses, the standards issued by the FASB may have little to no effect as they impact topics that do not reflect the type of transactions that these entities most frequently experience. This class will focus on the Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) that are most likely to impact small businesses with a focus on ASUs initiated by the Private Company Council (PCC). We'll then look at alternative reporting options to GAAP including FRF for SMEs and IFRS for SMEs for entities who don't necessarily need to prepare GAAP financial statements but want to use accrual accounting. Finally, we will transition to audit standards that small business auditors will need to implement. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.Speaker - Melisa F. Galasso, CPA

How Fraud Can Affect Smaller Organizations

Many small to medium sized companies do not properly address the risk that arises related to fraud because these organizations do not have the resources needed to mitigate this risk or because owners or those in top level management underestimate the scope of the issue. All organizations, regardless of size, must be aware of the risks associated with intentional fraudulent acts and know that a significant and effective fraud scheme could even create going concern issues for some entities. In this session, we delve into the reasons that fraud takes place. The material discusses the types of defalcations that are often executed against smaller entities and then explores measures that organizations can implement to help stop fraud activities and add security.
