External Auditing is a systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating evidence regarding assertions about economic actions and events. Coursera's External Auditing catalogue teaches you about the principles, standards, and techniques used in the external auditing process. You'll learn about the role and responsibilities of an external auditor, the planning and execution of an audit, understanding and assessing internal controls, substantive testing, and report preparation. By exploring real-world scenarios, you'll develop skills in risk assessment, evidence gathering, fraud detection, and communication of audit findings, all integral parts of a successful audit.
