Cíle předmětu
The Auditing course aims to familiarize students with the principles and key aspects of statutory auditing of financial statements, with an emphasis on understanding the audit process and providing a brief overview of international auditing standards. The first part of the course focuses on the significance of statutory auditing in the current context, audit regulation in the Czech Republic, and the auditor's code of ethics. The second part of the course covers the various phases of the audit process—from client acceptance to audit evaluation and the preparation of the auditor's final report.

Graduates will be able to properly understand and critically evaluate the client acceptance process, risk assessment, audit planning, internal control evaluation, obtaining and evaluating audit evidence, and the preparation of the auditor's final report. Students will learn to critically select appropriate methods for obtaining audit evidence, which are essential for forming an adequate auditor's opinion.
