Praise for Auditing Leadership: The Professional and Leadership
Skills You Need
"From networking to e-mail, from team-building to selling
yourself, Brian shows how to create a well-organized and effective
working life. Although aimed at auditors, the countless ideas put
forth in this book can be used by individuals in every field to grow
and become more successful in their chosen careers. In fact, one
particular assertion summed up the entire thesis for me: 'success is a
mind-set, not a finish line.' Kush offers a multitude of unique and
creative suggestions for establishing that
mind-set."
-Joe Hoyle, Associate Professor of
Accounting, University of Richmond, and cofounder, www.

"Auditing Leadership is a must-read for new graduates and
a solid resource for seasoned professionals. Brian Kush has taken a
wide range of best practice advice and distilled it into a fantastic
handbook for the auditing profession."
-Andrew
Prather, CPA, Shareholder, Clark Nuber PS
"Brian's book takes you beyond the technical skills of auditing
to help you become both a professional and a leader. The scope of
topics covered is impressive, from e-mail communications to
accountability to planning your future. The book includes sound,
actionable advice that will benefit auditors at all stages of their
careers, from staff to partner."
