A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

"Very accessible, especially for non-native English speaking students." Ron Crijns, Haagse Hogeschool, The Netherlands

"I found the book extremely easy to follow. In general I believe all the features of the book are very well done. It seems to me there is a good balance in the difficulty of the student assignments: they range from simple "repeat-the-book" questions to more complex questions, requiring research and judgement. As an all-purpose introduction to auditing with an international perspective, I believe the book is outstanding." Marcia Halvorsen, Göteborg University, Sweden

"The book is easy to navigate and easy to handle. I think the questions, exercises and cases are excellent. The glossary is really excellent. This is the best glossary I have ever seen in an auditing textbook." Stellan Nilsson, Umea School of Business and Economics, Sweden

The first text fully based upon International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), this revised and updated new edition presents a structured approach to auditing principles using ISAs as its basis. More and more, the International Standards on Auditing are regarded as the global benchmark for auditing standards. This book describes the development and practical use of all ISAs, as well as significant national standards in different countries.

In addition to dealing with these new standards, the authors explain important new developments from a regulatory point of view. Emerging conceptual developments such as strategic auditing and business risk are covered, as well as cutting-edge audit techniques.

Features:

* The ONLY principles of auditing textbook fully based on ISAs.

* Presents the latest auditing standards from a truly international perspective.

* All audit concepts are illustrated with case study examples from famous companies, such as Enron, Xerox, and WorldCom, bringing the subject to life.

This provides students with a real-world perspective as close to current auditing practice and thinking as possible.
