AuditWatch University is an integrated development curriculum designed toward promoting the professional growth of your auditing staff. 

Most firms don’t have the necessary time, resources or training expertise to provide an appropriate educational roadmap for their employees.  And that’s where AuditWatch University comes in.  With AuditWatch University, your employees will have access to the specialized technical and professional training that is required to be a first-class auditor—and they don’t even have to leave the office.

Since its introduction in 2002, AuditWatch University has helped thousands of professionals, and their firms, achieve new levels of client service and satisfaction.  All of our instructors are “hands-on” experts who teach practical, relevant and innovative material in an engaging and easy-to-follow manner.  Starting with Basic Staff Training and culminating with senior management level courses, AuditWatch University offers six progressive levels of training.

Prerequisites.  Our courses do not have formal prerequisites; however, they are designed to meet the needs of the experience levels described in the course descriptions.  Participant success is much greater when they are placed in course that is most appropriate to their experience.

Cancellation Policy.  If you cancel your open enrollment session registration at least ten business days in advance, you will receive a complete refund of your registration fee, less a $100 administrative fee.  Cancellation within the ten business day window will forfeit your entire registration fee.  Substitutions are allowed at any time.

We offer three ways for your professionals to take our courses, all of them designed to make the process as simple and affordable as possible.  There’s also a special option for members of CPA associations.

Open Enrollment Seminars
If the above options don’t seem quite right for your firm and employees, we offer open enrollment seminars in major cities across the country.  Check our Open Enrollment Schedule for a list of locations and dates.   The cost is $310 per day, which includes tuition, participant materials, lunch and snacks.  Registration deadline is always 10 business days prior to the seminar date. 

Firm-Specific
If you’re looking for a tailored approach, this option may be right for you.  Firm-specific training is conducted at your facility—for the exclusive benefit of your firm.  Benefits include lower per-participant costs, the ability to have in-depth discussions of firm-specific issues and the opportunity to help build employee morale.

Firm-Hosted
If you don’t have a large enough staff to make firm-specific training an economical option, firm-hosted training may be right for you.  Your firm simply provides the training facility, you enroll your team members and then open the remaining spots to other attendees outside of your firm.

Special Benefits for Members of CPA Firm Associations
Several CPA Firm Associations have made arrangements to sponsor AuditWatch University classes for their members.  If your firm belongs to any one of these associations, you are eligible to receive these benefits.  Contact your association or AuditWatch for details.
