About this Item

Oversized hardcover textbook, "Third printing, December, 1973", xv + 834 pages; very gently used, hardly a trace of shelf wear, previous owner's embossed stamp and signature, underlinings and/or pale faded highlighting (even some notes in ink) on roughly 285 pages, otherwise very clean and unmarked, fresh and white. PLEASE NOTE: the Stock Image provided by Abebooks next to my listing is just plain useless, and I apologize for being unable to change or delete it (I am just your humble bookseller, toiling in obscurity at my tiny senior's cottage, utterly powerless, a eunuch of books). [this copy priced low, priced to go to a good home as bookseller is nearing retirement, but extra S & H at cost will be requested] See also our listings for Gordon Davis' very scarce Auditing & EDP [Electronic Data Processing], and for the extremely scarce Computer Audit Guidelines, published by The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA).

About this title

Synopsis

This is a presentation of audit theory and practice. Written in understandable language, it is appropriate for students with little auditing experience. It presents auditing concepts and attempts to make the relationship between auditing and accounting understandable. Case studies, new to this edition, focus on specific industries to emphasize the importance of having a thorough knowledge of the audit client's business and end-of-chapter questions require students to use the Internet to perform audit research. The book also includes discussion of international auditing standards and adopts a balance-sheet approach to auditing.
