This milestone will give you practice using generally accepted auditing

Overview
This milestone will give you practice using generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) to plan an audit by filling in various sections of a working paper. You will revise this milestone in response to instructor feedback and resubmit it as part of Project One.
Scenario
The CPA firm of Penmen Associates is planning to take over the audit of financial statements of Keystone Enterprises. As a senior auditor for the firm, you have been tasked with evaluating Keystone, using GAAS, best practices and risk assessment techniques to identify the objectives and scope of the audit for this client. After completion, Penmen Associates has asked you to prepare for the audit. You will gain an understanding of Keystone’s internal control structure, financial accounts, business environment, materiality, and any inherent risks that may impact the company. You will also review external and other factors.
Directions
For this milestone, you will create a working paper. A working paper is an informational report prepared by accountants and auditors as supporting documents for formal reports and financial statements. Note that rubric criterion #1 below references the risk assessment completed in Milestone One. If you did not complete Milestone One, you will need to complete the risk assessment portion in order to satisfy this criterion.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Using the Keystone financial data and the AS 2110 standard provided in the Supporting Materials section, perform an analysis of the company data.
