Program Materials

This webinar will prepare accounting professionals to comply fully with new attestation standards pertaining to audits of brokers and dealers, including the new PCAOB auditing standard for broker dealer audits and the SEC amendment to Rule 17a-5.

Description

For audit professionals to fully realize the opportunities available for work with broker-dealers, you must stay on top of the newest compliance rules and requirements, such as the newly finalized SEC Rule 17a-5 and PCAOB standards.

New requirements by PCAOB apply to attestation standards for auditors who examine certain statements in broker-dealer compliance reports and who review statements in broker-dealer exemption reports.

Audit professionals must also fully understand the responsibilities established by the new standard, requiring auditors to perform audit procedures and report on supplemental information that accompanies audited financial statements.

Listen as our panel of experienced broker dealer audit experts explains and analyzes the final SEC Rule 17a-5, new PCAOB attestation standards and the new PCAOB auditing standard—both reviewing the technical terms and presenting application scenarios.
