Auditing: Assurance and Risk
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Auditing: Assurance and Risk will influence the way that the next generation of professionals think about their responsibilities and abilities. Knechel's text is not limited to reciting current practice. The unique set of topics and structure of this book will strike an effective balance among the "why it is so" of auditing theory, the "how it is done" of current auditing practice, and the "what's next" of the profession's future.
