Principles of Auditing & Other Assurance Services: 2024 Release ISE

The Principles of Auditing & Other Assurance Services provides a carefully balanced presentation of auditing theory and practice. Written in a clear and understandable manner, it is particularly appropriate for students who have had limited or no audit experience. The approach is to integrate auditing material with that of previous accounting financial, managerial, and systems courses.  The authors organize the text around balance sheet accounts creating a straightforward and user-friendly way to address the risk assessment–based approach to auditing required by both U.S. and international standards.    Data analytics is addressed throughout the text with integrated exercises and problems that drive critical thinking and analysis. In conjunction, they incorporate software to drive these employability skills through the use of Tableau and IDEA software and data analytics questions posed in Connect.
