Auditing, Assurance Services & Ethics in Australia

The eighth edition of Auditing, Assurance Services and Ethics in Australia: An Integrated Approach represents a conscious effort to focus on the Australian auditing environment in terms of the current practices and standards issued by the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (AUASB). The book is a comprehensive introduction to auditing for students who have not had significant experience in the field. It is also appropriate for introductory professional development courses for public accounting firms, internal auditors and government auditors. The primary emphasis in this text is on the auditor's decision-making process. The purpose is to integrate the most important concepts of auditing with certain practical aspects in a logical manner to assist students in understanding audit decision-making and evidence accumulation. Technology, e-commerce, and fraud issues are also integrated throughout the chapters, making it one of the most up-to-date texts, not only in current standards, but in keeping up with the digital world. ACL version 9 student software and activities on CD Rom with this edition help develop proficiency in this internationally market leading audit software to enhance students' future employment prospects.
