About this title

Synopsis:

The goal of this text is to outline the role of audits in business and government and to familiarize students with professional audit standards that apply in auditing practice, including quality control and ethics, as well as outside constraints such as litigation. This edition features the following additions: a new chapter on legal liabilities; new cases, especially in Chapters One to Seven; and all of the latest standards pronouncements.

From the Publisher:

The text remains one of the most concise presentations available. This brevity allows professors increased flexibility.

The text carefully blends and balances an emphasis on conceptual material with technical content.

A distinct emphasis on audit risk assessment familiarizes students with the modern risk-based approach to performing audits (see Chapters 4, 5 and 7).

The text offers comprehensive coverage of audit sampling by integrating statistical sampling techniques with the audit approach (see Chapter 8).

Computerized audit systems are emphasized throughout. Chapter 6 provides particularly important coverage.

An emphasis on financial statement assertions and audit objects helps provide the "why" behind audit programs and procedures.

Pedagogy includes learning objectives at the opening of every chapter, worked examples, illustrations of auditing reports, work papers, and client representation letters as well as flow charts, end-of-chapter exercises and problems.

The text can be supplemented with computerized audit packages such as McGraw-Hill's Micro, Inc. or award-winning SCADIII software.
