About Book
Presents auditing concepts and procedures within the context of audit assertions, as described in Statements on Auditing Standards. It includes the basic approach to reasoning from audit assertions to audit objectives to audit procedures and numerous examples of computer generated audit working papers. A new aspect of this edition is the introduction of value-added business advice as an integral part of the audit. Public accounting firms are placing increased emphasis on adding value to an audit.
