Professional Skepticism and Maintaining the Public Trust
Authored by Joanne Flood, CPA-MBA
About this Course
In this course, you will benefit from the experience of other auditors as you listen to their stories and participate in an interactive video, based on a real-life case. You'll discover what they did wrong and what they did right and learn to look at particular areas of susceptibility with revenue, receivables, loans, and contingent liabilities. You'll learn what skepticism is and learn that your allegiance is not to the owner of the business, but to the banker.
