Audit Engagements: Risk Related to Fraud (CAS 240)
Distance Learning (DL) courses are sessions that have been recorded from live, in-person offerings and made available as on-demand videos online, along with any corresponding course materials. Note these are purely self-study products and there will be no access to instructors for questions and answers. Each title qualifies for verifiable CPD hours upon successful completion of a quiz at the end of the session. Unlimited quiz attempts are available until the passing grade of 70% or better is achieved. After this, you will no longer have access to the quiz.




NOTE: Course login details are normally sent to registrants within one week from date of registration.

Because the video recordings are taken from live seminars, the information presented is up-to-date at the time of recording. While we make an effort to keep our inventory updated and seasonally remove outdated titles, changes in accounting, tax and other acts and legislations can happen at any time. It is up to the purchaser to take note of the recording date, and to determine for themselves whether the recorded video is still relevant to their needs. 

An auditor has responsibilities relating to fraud in the context of an audit. The requirements of CAS are designed to assist the auditor in identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and in designing procedures to respond to and detect such misstatements.

Misstatements in the financial statements can arise from fraud or error. The distinguishing factor between fraud and error is whether the underlying action that results in the misstatement is intentional or unintentional. As fraud is intentional and involves schemes designed to hide misstatement, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error.

Participants will identify the auditor’s responsibilities related to fraud and apply the standards when designing and performing procedures for audit engagements.
