Thus, our first 11 chapter provide a sweeping overview of auditing, with special attention to the nature and economic purpose of audits, auditing standards, professional ethics, auditors legal liability, the study and evaluation of internal control, and the nature of audit evidence. In addition to this conceptual approach, this edition, as did the preceding ones, present auditing techniques in an organized and understandable manner. In our final chapter, we discuss professional services other than audits that may be undertaken by auditing staff of a CPA firm. These services include compilations, review reports on internal accounting control, and operational audits." ER -
