Book Description

Messier is the only textbook that combines risk analysis with a cycles approach. Messier uses a cycles approach that introduces the audit risk model early and uses the audit risk model as an outline for all of the cycle chapters. This unique and innovative approach has been developed in response to changing market dynamics. The systematic approach used in the subtitle for the text reflects the early introduction of three basic concepts that underlie the audit process: materiality, audit risk, and evidence. These are central to everything an auditor does. As such, this approach facilitates student development of auditor judgment, a vital skill in today's auditing environment.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book makes auditing as fun as possible, May 13, 2001
By 
This review is from: Auditing & Assurance Services: A Systematic Approach (Hardcover)
I used this book for an auditing class and I got a lot out of it. The book sets each chapter up in an understandable, and digestable way.The tables and charts are excellent summaries of the reading and it is entirely possible to just skip the reading and memorize those. Each chapter has thought-provoking questions at the end and activities that are helpful in analyzation. This book takes you from the first step in auditing to the way to fill out the audit report. I have fond feelings for this book.
