Qualified accountants have an important role to play not only in preparing high quality financial statements but also to examine those financial statements to ensure that they present information that is true and fair about the financial affairs of a company or organization.

This module, audit and assurance will equip you with the skills that you need to become a competent auditor who will act professionally in the interest of wider stakeholders to a business by honestly examining the financial statements prepared by management of organizations and expressing your independent opinion as to whether or not those financial statements are free from errors, misstatements, and honestly represents the true position of a company's financial affairs.
