Strengthen EBP audits (bold)
Auditing employee benefit plans (EBP) comes with unique challenges and requires thorough knowledge.
To perform quality EBP audits, it’s important to understand the requirements of AU-C section 500, Audit Evidence (ital), including the changes required by Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 142 from an EBP audit perspective.
The panel of experts will:
– Provide an overview of the requirements of AU-C section 500 and changes after issuance of SAS No. 142
– Detail specific examples of types of audit evidence auditors may use in employee benefit plan audits
– Discuss the challenges auditors encounter when audit evidence is in electronic format
*Recognize how the nature of information to be used as audit evidence in an employee benefit plan has evolved *Describe how SAS No. 142, Audit Evidence (ital), addresses what constitutes audit evidence *Determine ways in which auditors might test the accuracy and completeness of information to be used as audit evidence that is electronically initiated, recorded, processed, or reported
