The thirteenth edition of Auditing is a comprehensive, yet concise and accessible resource for students seeking up-to-date information on international standards, governance and professional insights. With a new focus on auditing in the era of Industry 4.0, the authors redefine the role of the auditor, highlighting the importance of soft skills such as critical thinking, communication and flexibility. Undergraduate or postgraduate students and those preparing for professional examinations will benefit from engaging ‘Real World Auditing’ boxes featuring well-known organizations.

Suitable especially for courses on which students are encouraged to be active participants in the learning process, this text offers a practical and activity-based approach to understanding finance for people who do not need to know the technicalities of finance and accounting. This revised edition has more material on service industries, the not-for-profit sector, and education and health services. There is also coverage of the Cadbury and Greenbury codes, and more exercises and assignments. The case-study approach enables students to understand the solutions as they apply to a real business, rather than just a text-book answer, and the book can be used for a multitude of purposes, depending upon teaching time, structure and, preparation time.
