The control and compliance requirements for single audits differ from the requirements for GAAS audits. As a result, sometimes it’s difficult to tell where the auditor’s responsibilities start and stop in a single audit. This course is designed to help you proceed and succeed in applying the single audit control and compliance requirements contained in the 2024 revision to the Uniform Guidance for Federal Awards. Over 15 focused exercises are included to provide an enhanced working knowledge of the most critical challenges in single auditing today.
