Auditing : Concepts for a Changing Environment

Rating:
Summary: A Bargain at Thrice the Price
Review: As a connoiseur of auditing texts, I found Rittenberg and Schweiger's work to be pure genius. The authors' use of real-world examples and well-placed and helpful exhibits, interspersed with the occasional comfortable aside, make this a work not to be missed. Well done, Dr. Rittenberg. Well done, Dr. Schweiger. Well done, indeed.

Summary: Poor Excuse for a Book
Review: Auditing: Concepts for a Changing Environment, is not only poorly written but it lacks in-depth, real life situations which makes up the auditing profession. Not only are the chapter questions mediocre at best, but after the first five chapters everything else is a review. I would advice no one to buy this book, not even the biggest accounting nerds.

Summary: more complicated then neccessary
Review: I read this book as well as was a student of Larry Rittenburg at the UW-Madison. If his teaching were not as solid his book would seem confusing and uninformitive to any other reader. This book seems to have been hurried to the market to compete with his fellow professors. I would recommend a more straight forward and interesting text one that better represents the Audit practice.
