Fraud & Going Concern

Presenters : Nestene Botha CA(SA)


Overview   

It is evident that the control environments of many business entities have been negatively impacted by the current pandemic. It is also true that as a result of this pandemic, the nature of evidence collected by auditors is now different. 

The two issues above raise concerns over the perpetration of fraud by companies as well as the difficulties faced by the auditor in determining going concern of clients' businesses. 

The IAASB recently hosted three virtual roundtables during which issues and challenges related to fraud and going concern where tackled. All accounting professionals need to ensure that they are up to date with the latest challenges and developments being discussed by thought leaders and field experts.
