Auditing & Assurance Services with ACL CD

The inclusion of the newly released AS5 Auditing Standard makes this text the most up to date auditing text on the market. It’s been written so that it is current with all issues inherent in accounting and auditing practice, particularly in public accounting firms including coverage of the creation of the Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board, the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and all of the major pronouncements issued by the AICPA. It’s also a leader in fraud coverage and is accompanied by the Apollo Shoes Casebook, the only standalone FRAUD audit case on the market (available online on the book’s website). The text is also designed to provide flexibility for instructors; the twelve chapters focus on the auditing process while the eight modules provide additional topics that can be taught at the instructor’s discretion without interrupting the flow of the text.

I ordered this book with the understanding that the CD was in the book. It was not. I feel I overpaid for an item due to it not being the way it was presented.

I don't really remember this book too well. But that may be the fault of my Auditing professor as he was one of the best professors I've ever had. Unfortunately, this isn't a review for him so I'll try to keep it on the book.

From my experience the book does give you several good examples of auditing situations/terms/events that you should be aware of if you are trying to pursue public accountancy. However, be advised that the majority of stuff you learn in this book (and subsequently any Auditing stuff from the CPA materials), will be very rarely used in real life. This is more of a book to give you some "concepts" to help you when you're in the field.

15 months late

UNPROFESSIONAL ZERO STARS! I purchased item in January 2010, got it March 2011. Seller has no return policy online but will not let me return it and would make no exceptions even though they were grossly negligent... Now the book is worthless and I can't get any compensation back, not to mention the class I needed it for is long since over.
