SUMMARY:(LIAA30/27) Accounting Estimates\, Including Fair Value- Evaluating the Property of Areas With Uncertainity

SUMMARY:(LIAA40/27) Sampling - Avoiding Common Mistakes on Financial Statement and Compliance Audits
DESCRIPTION:Event Description\nSampling is an important method for determining the extent of testing controls\, testing compliance\, and tests of substantive details.
