Review

I have used the book for several years because it is well written and has good supplementary material (including the website and PowerPoint slides.)

I like the proposed change of focus. The author is correct to refocus the text away from assurance services and emphasize on fraud, restatement, and earnings management. In fact I was looking at a new textbook for my auditing class next fall that emphasizes fraud and earning management.
