Not Documented, Not Done
Title : Not Documented, Not Done (2CR)
Presented By : Jeffrey L. Sailor, CPA
The title of this course is the new mantra for the AICPA. With accountants increasingly being sued for deficiencies perceived by clients and attorneys in various engagements, the AICPA has increased its focus on documentation in the accounting and auditing arena. In addition, peer review has revealed a consistent lack of proper documentation.
In this course, Jeff Sailor will discuss the requirements for a variety of engagements as well as tips for better documentation. You will not only learn the basic requirements, but also the proper theory for exceptional documentation.
As always, Jeff will bring his truly unique presentation style and include a few of his signature video parodies, which are designed to keep you awake and reinforce the material.
