Book Description

Designed specifically to help practitioners prevail in the current climate of intense scrutiny, Audit Procedures presents the conservative and cost-effective approach needed to conduct a higher-quality audit of nonpublic commercial entities. Practical discussion and consideration of the day-to-day management of audit engagements enhance the quality of the auditor's practice while easy-to-read and easy-to-understand advice, procedures, and practice aids enable practitioners to put official pronouncements into action immediately. The 2008 Edition integrates Knowledge-Based Audits of Commercial Entities and explains the AICPA's Auditing Standards Board's new risk assessment standards, which represent significant changes to existing audit practice.
