CBP to Hold Webinar on Updates to Focused Assessment Program

CBP scheduled a webinar to provide information on updates to the focused assessment program, the agency said in a CSMS message. The webinar, planned for Oct. 9 from 2-3:30 p.m., will detail the updates to the FA audit program that will effect such audits "started on or after" Oct. 1, the agency said. "The current update involves aligning risk assessment procedures with the audit risk model in accordance with current Government Auditing Standards, emphasizing the consideration of materiality and significance throughout the audit, and replacing the Worksheets for Evaluating Internal Control -- including the sample size matrices -- with more flexible guidelines," it said. The agency has been increasing it's outreach efforts on the subject in recent months (see 14071112). Registration for the webinar is (here).
