Part 1 (10:30 am-12:00 pm) – we will go over the most common XBRL errors and how they occur, demonstrating this with common XBRL software such as Fujitsu tools.

Lunch

Part 2 (1:00-2:30 pm) – we will cover assurance issues such as assertions, audit steps to address the assertions, etc.

Break

Part 3 (3:00-4:30 pm) – we will demonstrate the application of a prototype software tool that we have developed with funding from CaseWare IDEA Inc. and discuss its application in an assurance engagement.

Please note that we will administer a brief survey on assurance knowledge / skills possessed by the participants and the perceived value of the computer-assisted audit techniques demonstrated during the workshop. (Responses will be anonymous and will only be reported in aggregate.)
