The problem addressed arises from the need to evaluate the impact of academic training in financial auditing on the ability of future professionals to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of financial statements. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the level of learning obtained by students and their ability to apply this knowledge in practice, using a quantitative methodology based on surveys and analysis of real cases, complemented by descriptive and bibliographic research. Results indicated that students who demonstrated greater mastery of financial audit concepts demonstrated greater ability to identify and correct errors in financial statements, in both public and private contexts.
