DESCRIPTION

Many factors impact the ability of an entity to continue as a going concern. These factors include the industry and geographic area of operations, the financial health of customers and suppliers, and financial liquidity and solvency of the entity.  As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated deteriorating economic environment, reduced revenues and cash flows could raise questions about the entity’s ability to meet its current or new obligations and comply with debt covenants. 

During this webinar we will highlight key areas of focus in the current environment when undertaking procedures relating to, and concluding on, the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing, Reviews and Compilations.  It is helpful in understanding the responsibilities of the auditor, independent reviewer and compiler in relation to going concern, as well as any modifications made to their respective reports in respect of any uncertainties related to going concern.
