Vague, wordy, confusing, and in need of examples,
By
This review is from: Modern Auditing: Assurance Services and the Integrity of Financial Reporting (Hardcover)
I found that if you want to learn the language of auditing, have another reference handy. Often, the discourse goes on and on and on and could really be distilled down into a sentence or two that had a firm and grounded presentation. There were very few examples so it was difficult at best to try to understand the often high-level conceptual frameworks that were constantly being presented. I also noted quite a few editing errors that probably arose from cut-and-pastes that were not carefully reviewed. Also, figures and diagrams were reused and were not carefully reviewed either as information was present that didn't apply to the new scenario.

Very Confusing,
By
This review is from: Modern Auditing (Hardcover)
I believe you can find a better auditing textbook in the market. I took an auditing class with one of the authur in Portland and, as a result, was required to buy the textbook. But, I ended up using another auditing textbook in order to get an "A" from this class. The format and writing style are very difficult to follow and understand.

This review is from: Modern Auditing: Assurance Services and the Integrity of Financial Reporting (Hardcover)
The book helps with the class that I am currently taking. It describes the standards that auditors have to following in very good detail. I also want to thank the seller for the fast shipment.
