Event Synopsis:
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) adopted a new auditing standard and amendments requiring auditors to pay close attention to related-party transactions and significant unusual transactions, as well as a company’s financial relationships and transactions with its executive officers when under-taking audits. These transactions and relationships potentially create risk of misstatements of company finances.

In a two-hour live webcast, the speakers will discuss:

• New Requirements of External Auditors
• Impact on Audit Procedures
