Synopsis
CPA's Guide to Effective Engagement Letters: Implementing Successful Loss Prevention Practices provides the information needed to compose effective engagement letters. It is designed as a practical, hands-on tool that can sit on the auditor's desk for easy access.

The free companion CD-ROM that accompanies CPA's Guide to Effective Engagement Letters contains these same valuable paragraphs and letters, plus case studies illustrating the dos and don'ts of engagement letter use. The book is made up of eight sections: - Financial Statements - Tax Preparation and Planning - General Accounting - Other Engagements - Other Letters - Internal Controls - Record Retention and Destruction Policy - Disengaging Sections One through Four include suggested wording and sample letters that deal with their particular subjects. Section Five contains sample letters covering miscellaneous subjects. Sections Six through Eight contain The book is formatted so that the left-hand column offers suggested wording about a specific subject; the right-hand column contains comments that are relevant to the subject matter and offers important advice. The sample letters and material contained in this book have been actually used by CPAs. The book was compiled and edited with resources from CAMICO Services, Inc., a subsidiary of CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company. A free companion CD-ROM is included with the book and provides electronic versions of all of the suggested wording and all of the letters.
