Do you ever feel trapped by an audit? Like you can’t finish. It started so well, but somewhere along the way, something went wrong. The wheels came off.

Maybe it started with your acceptance of a new client that you didn’t feel good about from the beginning. Or possibly your new staff members don’t understand risk assessment. So they blindly followed last year’s work papers. However, the auditee has new risks, and the audit team failed to address them.

Wow, the audit budget is busted. But you’ve still got to finish the substantive work—and the wrap-up work remains. Just creating financial statements will take a week.

The clock is ticking. And how do you feel? Trapped! Want less stress? Then check out The Why and How of Auditing.

This book explains the full audit process, from beginning to end, from client acceptance to audit opinion issuance. Also, you’ll find helpful guidance for the audit of transaction cycles such as receivables and revenue, payables and expenses, debt, payroll, and more — all in one easy-to-understand book.

Imagine: quality audits finished on time.
