This document outlines the objectives, requirements, and flow of a training course on applying the Financial Attest Audit Manual (FAAM) in the railway accounts. It discusses presumptions about prerequisite knowledge, understanding the entity and audit environment, assessing and revising risk, determining materiality, sampling techniques, and audit procedures. The training will include practical exercises in entity understanding, sampling, and a pilot study demonstrating FAAM application. It will also illustrate the integrated roles of financial and compliance audits and how FAAM application improves upon traditional auditing.
