The second Canadian edition of Auditing: a Practical Approach provides a concise, practical and readable option for students studying auditing at an undergraduate and postgraduate level. The text reflects how a quality audit is conducted in practice and the issues that are of greatest concern to industry professionals.
In order to communicate the key elements of the audit process a hypothetical case study, Cloud 9, underpins the audit process and methodology while providing clarity on how general audit principles are applied in practice.
