Video: Introduction to Engagements: Audits, SSARS & SSAE Practice Questions

In this lesson, Nick Palazzolo, CPA, goes through a series of multiple-choice practice questions to help candidates understand various types of engagements, such as audits, SSARS, and SSAE. These practice questions center around the application of different standards, when to comply with SARS, identifying at-test engagements, and what SSAE standards do not provide. Through the discussion and visualization of charts and tables, Nick provides clear explanations to assist in choosing the correct answers and emphasizes memorization techniques for mastering these concepts. This lesson is an essential tool to reinforce the understanding of different engagement types and the appropriate standards associated with them.
