At JGA, we work with our clients to develop appropriate trainings based on the specific needs, clients, and dynamics of each firm, whether it be part of an overall remedial action related to the PCAOB inspection process, a specific skill such as a new accounting or auditing standard implementation, or an annual “refresh” as part of your recurring training curriculum. We develop interactive, comprehensive training programs that are responsive to your needs. Alternatively, we can deliver previously-developed training programs on a wide-range of auditing, accounting, and regulatory topics, including:
