This course builds on the knowledge and skills previously introduced in prior assurance courses and equips students with a deeper conceptual understanding of internal audits.

The course establishes fundamental concepts and then reinforces the concepts through interacting with internal audit professionals in a collaborative and safe environment.

“Is there one in every accounting course? If yes then i am ready to leave my program and switch into something more economics based.”
u/Huex3: “They should introduce a course called "Real-time Taxation Accounting," where all accounting students work up hours up on end on financial statements, up to a final project that simulates tax season.”
