About this title

Review:

"Overall, I am pleased with the approach and balance of the Rittenberg text and plan to continue using it." "These themes are comprehensive of the issues facing auditing today, and they are the right themes to include in this textbook." "The textbook appears to be written by an auditing scholar with relevant field auditing experience as opposed to many auditing textbooks which are written by scholars who write what they "think" is occurring in the field." "I like the five themes of the Sixth edition' they reflect some of the main reasons why I adopted the text initially and continue to use it. I like the overriding theme of business risk approach, the emphasis on the technological environment. It also is critically important, especially in today's rapidly changing environment, to stay current with the regulatory and legal environment of the audit. The movement toward the Integrated Audit also fits in well with the other themes."

"The authors' emphasis on the regulatory environment, the importance of understanding the organization and its environment along with related risks, the integrated approach to auditing, and the impact of technology to the auditing profession are right on target. COSO has been emphasizing the integrated audit for decades now and it is finally catching on ." "With texts such as [this], we are beginning to move the direction of teaching auditors to go well beyond the rules in implementing their profession in an ethical manner. The themes presented in this text are fundamental to this. They are very appropriate for my use of this text, for the only auditing course taught at our institution."
