O KONFERENCIJI
Seminar Overview
Over the past several decades, technology has supported the growth of organizations by enabling the collection of vast amounts of information on which decisions can be made. At the same time, each new generation of system users have demanded more from technology. Today, in an Internet environment, sites that provide information faster are the sites that people use. Immediate response and immediate information have become the norm for today’s information hungry users. Although technology advancements have enabled the rapid dissemination of information on many fronts, the financial reporting model has not changed appreciably over the last several decades. One key element of the financial reporting process is the annual audit. Historically, much of the application of technology to auditing has been focused on the automation of manual tasks, rather than innovation of the process.
With the increasing global acceptance of technologies such as XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), the ease of comparability and analysis of business information is increasing dramatically. With such technologies, the demand for rapid financial reporting is expected to increase, and concurrently there will be additional pressure to innovate the audit process. One broad audit innovation is Continuous Auditing/Continuous Assurance (CA). CA includes the processes and procedures to provide assurance of information in real-time (or near realtime). Several of the CA concepts have been implemented in progressive organizations with success.
Benefits to Participants - upon completion of the seminar, participants will:
• Understand the basics of continuous reporting and assurance
• Understand the basics of XBRL
