Known in the academic market for its clear writing style and
accessibility, this extensive revision focuses on auditor decision
making and the auditor's role in providing assurance about the integrity
of the financial reporting system. This is particularly important in
light of the recent events involving WorldCom, Enron, Xerox, Aldelphia,
Tyco, Waste Management, and other recent incidents that have questioned
the quality of work in the auditing profession. Intended for a junior-
or senior-level course in auditing or assurance services taught at most
four-year schools.
