When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States earlier this year, companies had to quickly adapt to the economic shock, stay-at-home orders and massive workforce disruptions. Although the severity of the shock has varied across industries, all companies have been impacted in some way. Now, six months into the pandemic, the year-end audit cycle is quickly approaching. While certain accounting and reporting issues, such as impairment and going concern, will be familiar to financial statement preparers, virtual audits and reductions in headcount will add additional complexity.

In this webinar, Riveron experts address eight key pressure points that companies can expect to face as they head into the audit cycle and strategies they can use to successfully prepare for each.

Frequently, the best path to achieving an efficient audit is to proactively evaluate and address potential audit issues before they become issues at all. In this article, Riveron explores some of the most significant emerging audit issues that represent time-saving opportunities if addressed prior to the year-end reporting period.
