This book is not essentially a how to audit book, but rather it serves to raise the consciousness of the underlying issues, risk and objectives for a wide range of operations and activities. It stimulates creative thought about the business context of operational audit reviews. As auditors, we are trained to investigate beyond appearances to determine the underlying facts--in other words, to look beneath the surface. From the Enron and WorldCom scandals of the early 2000s to the financial crisis of 2007-2008 to present-day issues and challenges related to significant estimation uncertainty, understanding the auditor\'s responsibility related to fraud, maintaining a clear perspective, probing for details, and understanding the big picture are indispensable to effective auditing. With the availability of greater levels of qualitative and quantitative information (big data), the need for technical skills and challenges facing today\'s auditor is greater than ever. The author team of Louwers, Blay, Sinason, Strawser, and Thibodeau has dedicated years of experience in the auditing field to this new edition of Auditing & Assurance Services, supplying the necessary investigative tools for future auditors. This text offers a structured approach to principles of auditing using International Standards on Auditing as its basis. Written by a team of influential professional auditors with a wealth of teaching experience this book provides a real world perspective on current auditing practices with coverage of cutting edge developments and techniques.
