Fachprüfung Wirtschaftsprüfer case studies

The Fachprüfung Wirtschaftsprüfer is a professional examination in the Austrian system for becoming a Wirtschaftsprüfer:in (auditor). It is aimed at Berufsanwärter:innen - candidates who have completed the required practical training and earlier examination stages and are now preparing for the Fachprüfung under the WT-BG 2017 framework. The KSW (Kammer der Steuerberater:innen und Wirtschaftsprüfer:innen) is the statutory body that publishes information on Berufszugang and Fachprüfungen for this profession. The examination assesses the knowledge and judgement needed for audit work, and the profession's core task is described by the KSW as the audit of a company's financial reporting and reporting - "Die vorrangigen Aufgaben sind die Prüfung der Rechnungslegung und der Berichterstattung eines Unternehmens." Candidates should therefore expect substantial coverage of accounting, reporting and audit methodology. The Fachprüfung Wirtschaftsprüfer case studies are 5 cases and about 3,179 words.
