Highlights From The Sixth Annual CAQ Symposium Breakout Discussions

Top practitioners from the public company auditing profession gathered with leading academics at the Sixth CAQ Annual Symposium, held on August 3, 2014 in Atlanta. The event, which coincides with the American Accounting Association’s (AAA) Annual Meeting, is a key part of the CAQ’s ongoing dialogue with the academic community on how research can inform audit practice. The 2014 Symposium included a panel discussion addressing developments of efforts to identify audit quality indicators (AQIs). A second panel examined the topic of auditing internal control over financial reporting (ICFR).
