Scope of this book is enormous. It is like an encyclopedia - which is why I got the PDF version; cannot imagine carrying it around. It is not like a college book on Internal Audit, where for example, they take you through the business cycles (e.g., revenue cycle), but that be gotten elsewhere. The coverage is excellent on both the Financial and IT side for SOX - and for internal audit departments not following SOX.

The update for SOX is meaningful and through. If anyone wanted a history of internal audit, and the impact of SOX to the professional, great overview. While expensive, this is a reference manual and hard to imagine a subject where at worse, an excellent introduction is given to the topic at hand. I have not seen anything near as comprehensive, and well integrated so it is not just a bunch of chapters thrown together. Would seem to make the 5th edition obsolete because of so much new content.

This book is comprehensive but still concise. I have been in Auditing for a number of years and found it up-to-date and very helpful.

You've got to have this on your bookshelf. No question about it. Great reference! And invaluable guide. Covers virtually everything you need to know (from a BoK perspective) on Internal Audit. And at just the right depth.

I found the index to be especially useful. Have a question? Need a definition? Its right there! A "must-have".
