4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Auditing Book Available, May 18, 2004
By Diego Banducci (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
During the 16 years that I have taught Financial Auditing at the university level I have been constantly on the lookout for the best available book. I chose Whittington & Pany because (1) it is succinct, (2) it presents auditing concepts clearly (although the authors do sugar coat the accounting scandals of the past 20 years and fail to give credit where credit is due by naming the firms involved in them), (3) the page layout is attractive and easy to read, and most importantly (4) my students preferred it over other texts (one student told me that she chose my class after looking through the assigned texts for all of the Auditing sections, an excellent idea).

The current (15th ed.) has been brought up to date with a limited discussion of Sarbanes-Oxley and the PCAOB.

The material is obviously dry, but I found that it was possible to make my classes more interesting by incorporating newspaper accounts of the more egregious audit failures in the assigned readings, and by being honest about the arrogance, greed and stupidity that are all too typical of the accounting profession today. This practice has brought complaints by the local offices of the major firms, to which my department head replied that they are welcome to come speak to the classes to explain their side of the story. To date, they have not accepted the invitation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unsatisfactory , February 20, 2009
By Cassie Mowbray (Harrisonburg, VA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I never received this purchase so it is difficult for me to rate my experience. However, I can say one good thing about amazon is that I am getting refunded for the amount that my purchase cost because of never receiving my package. I don't blame amazon but from now on I just have to be more cautious about choosing the right seller. Thanks.
