Assume you currently work at a CPA firm. During the assessment of internal controls, your firm concluded that your publicly traded client did not have accounting staff who met the firmâs criteria for having adequate accounting expertise to ensure the companyâs financials were prepared in compliance with appropriate accounting principles. This was identified as a material weakness and an adverse opinion was issued.
In a PowerPoint presentation, prepare information to further train the audit team on how to handle issues, which includes:
the communication that is required with the client.
the actions that the client must take to mitigate the weakness.
the course of action your firm should take as it relates to the financial audit.
After the report had been issued, assume that the client hired a CPA with extensive reporting experience to manage the accounting department. What part does this hiring decision play, if any, in your firmâs decision?
