The fourth edition of Auditing & Assurance Services is the most up-to-date auditing text on the market. All chapters and modules in the fourth edition have been revised to incorporate professional standards through SAS 116, AS7, international standards of auditing (ISAs), and unnumbered standards adopted through July 2009. New terminology from the AICPA’s Clarity Project has been incorporated throughout the book. In addition, all chapters include new problems, Kaplan CPA Review simulations, and comprehensive case questions. Fraud awareness, a thorough understanding of internal controls, and the ability to use technology effectively are the hallmarks of a successful auditor in business today. With Auditing & Assurance Services, 4th edition , students are prepared to take on auditing’s latest challenges. As a leader in fraud coverage, it is accompanied by the Apollo Shoes Case, the only standalone FRAUD audit case on the market (available online on the book’s OLC). 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearest Accounting textbook ever, May 24, 2011

This review is from: MP Auditing & Assurance Services w/ACL software cd 4e (Hardcover)

While the pages seem intimidatingly full of text with few breaks, the information is very well organized. The authors seem to have put a lot of effort into making sure students were not confused by the terminology and tried to be clear about the differences between similar terms. This is the clearest accounting text I have had for my classes. I suppose it comes from the authors work as auditors.

This is the same book as you would get at the bookstore, the person who said it was the study guide must have bought the 60 dollars study guide and thought he was getting the book or international edition( which by the way is the same). Good price, wish I had look at amazon for all my books first.

3.0 out of 5 stars STUDY GUIDE, NOT textbook, August 23, 2010

This review is from: Study Guide to accompany Auditing & Assurance Services (Paperback)

This product is the STUDY GUIDE for 4th edition of Auditing & Assurance services, NOT the textbook. The only indicator is the picture, do not rely on the title or Amazon's blurb (which has a poor disclaimer).

BUT it is a great study guide, and I do recommend it! It makes understanding the text much easier, and really pares down to the key points. Also has ample math problems for each section, which correspond to the homework in the real book.
