Levels I, II, & III - Audit Training

Each level meets over four days for a total of 24 credits per level.

Over the course of these levels, attendees will focus on the theory behind audits, reviews, compilations, and financial statement preparation engagements. AHI believes that by understanding the “why” behind the procedures, new staff will be prepared for all types of engagements that will arise in their career. Participants apply these concepts to realistic case scenarios, with a focus on understanding the process rather than the format. The goal is to develop thinkers, not just doers. Levels I through III courses are designed especially for any staff who will be performing audits, reviews, compilations, or financial statement preparation engagements.

Level IV & V - Leadership Training

Level IV meets over four days for a total of 24 credits. Level V meets over 4 days for a total of 16 credits.

Throughout these next-step levels, leadership concepts and soft skills training that benefits both the person attending and their organization will be introduced. These two levels are applicable for various accounting departments (i.e. audit, tax, consulting, and accounting services) as well as applicable to other professional business leaders. These concepts apply to all individuals with significant supervision and management responsibilities.
