Auditing: A Risk Analysis Approach

Rating:
Summary: Get lost
Review: This book is worse than Dennis Rodmans acting ability.

Rating:
Summary: Horrible Textbook - AVOID IF POSSIBLE (deserves 0 stars)
Review: This text is excruciatingly boring - it's too wordy and on the whole, simply a weak product. Not a teaching tool by any measure. The homework is VERY POORLY tied back to the text. The text itself is dry, with zero visual aids (no real bolding or section headers). Case examples are too short to really prove a point, which is a shame considering the value of case analysis in a subject such as auditing. An online "help site" is available for students...just as bad as the text...the powerpoint slides are AWFUL, it makes me wonder who edited this author's material. I am almost led to believe that this author is trying to keep the competition out of the auditing industry by boring potentially fresh blood from entering the marketplace. Hopefully some other auditor/CPA out there has written a book that actually has some value.....IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT - REPEAT - DO NOT!! - BUY THIS BOOK. I hope I can save at least one person some money out there.
