Auditing: a Practical Approach is a new textbook written for students
studying auditing at an undergraduate and postgraduate level. The text
reflects how an audit is conducted in practice and the issues that are
of greatest concern to auditors. Written by authors from academic and
professional practice backgrounds the text has a practical orientation
and presents essential audit topics supported with constructive
pedagogy.
In order to communicate the key elements of the audit process a
hypothetical case study, Cloud 9, underpins the audit process and
methodology whilst providing a constant example of how general audit
principles are applied in practice. With the educational trend to teach
auditing with an industry and practical focus, the text will effectively
develop a student's understanding of the various stages of an audit and
how an audit is conducted in practice.
