Product Description
Product Description
Appropriate for courses in Advanced Auditing and Special Topics in Accounting at the college or university level. Auditing is a second-year (upper-level) course directed at students in pursuit of a professional accounting designation-CA, GGA, and CMA.
This innovative and easy-to-understand best-seller offers a mixture of auditing theory and practical applications for those who will work for auditing firms. It provides thorough coverage of the entire audit process, taking the reader step-by-step through an audit cycle, then showing how the process relates to all audit cycles. Reflecting the reality of today's working world, particularly the impact of technology on auditing procedures and techniques, the text has been thoroughly revised and updated, and is completely oriented to the practical application of computers in the field of auditing. It addresses five major issues in this area that have imposed change on the auditing environment: use of computer systems by audit clients; types of computer-based systems used by audit clients; form of working papers used in general practice; student knowledge of automated systems; and integration of automated systems into the review questions, problems, and cases.

One of the best book I have ever read in Auditing
1 Feb 2002
Format:Hardcover
The authors did a great job in putting together all the essential elements in a logical order. Some ppl have difficulties in understanding the later part of this book because they don't have hands on experience in auditing. I used this book too when I was doing my undergrad degree in HK, this book was extremely terse to me at that time. But after spending few years in one of the Big 5 I find this book makes perfect sense to me right now. I am currently doing a PhD in accounting in the States, and I decide to buy this book (again) as a reference on my desktop.

It is not a text book, it is a study guide
15 April 1999
Format:Paperback
Well, I have ordered the book and found that it is a study guide. I wonder where can I find the text book.

Too thorough and it's clumpsy
17 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
In short, it's too thorough which makes studying this textbook a tough task. You don't know what's important and what's not. Though the general layout of the text is systemetic and unconfusing (definitely you won't find following the author's path difficult), the problem of this books comes from the author's ambition to include a lot in one book and failure to do so by dividing the content into more chapters/sub-chapters. This problem is particularly apparent in the later parts of the book, where different cycles of financial statements are analysed.
This is the comment I also heard among many of my fellows at the university. They all agree this is not a good textbook afterall.
