Cases in Auditing
- Josephine Maltby - University of Sheffield, UK
The Second Edition contains updated versions of 14 of the earlier cases and adds 8 new cases covering: an audit of a computerized accounting system; auditor liability; corporate governance; environmental audit; internal audit and the external auditor; ethics and independence; illegal acts by a client; and risk and audit planning.
There are questions for discussion and suggestions for suitable reading for each case.
Students were asked to use this book to help them see the link between theory taught during lessons and real life case studies in business. This is suggested for further reading following seminars and directed learning in attempting the questions from the book.
The feedback given from students was very positive with many students identifying it had help them understand certain issues which prior to looking at these cases they had struggled with.
