Description
Whittington/Pany is our market leader in the auditing discipline. While most textbooks use a cycles approach, Whittington/Pany enlists a balance sheet approach - making it particularly straightforward and user-friendly in addressing the auditing profession's risk-based approach for financial statement audits as well as for integrated audits of financial statements and internal control. The 18th edition covers the latest auditing standards to meet the needs of the current marketplace. The authors are well connected - both Ray Whittington and Kurt Pany served as members of the Audit Standards Board, and Whittington recently completed his term as President of the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association.
