Seminar description

The university sample case represents a practical simulation of the auditing processes - from the determination of the auditing obligation to the acceptance of the engagement and the processing of individual audit fields to the preparation of the audit report and the audit opinion. Within the scope of the audit fields, special accounting issues are also dealt with in particular in teamwork. The software DATEV Abschlussprüfung comfort is used for the systematic documentation of the entire audit process.

The university sample case is designed according to the principle of 1+2 days. The core university sample case comprises 2 days. In the run-up, however, the students prepare themselves for its expert processing by preparing, presenting and discussing topics in the field of auditing and accounting in a targeted manner (1 presentation day).
