Book description
In the wake of the recent financial crisis, increasing the
effectiveness of auditing has weighed heavily on the minds of those
responsible for governance. When a business is profitable and paying
healthy dividends to its stockholders, fraudulent activities and
accounting irregularities can go unnoticed. However, when revenue and
cash flow decline, internal costs and operations may be scrutinized more
diligently, and discrepancies can emerge as a result.
"Effective Auditing for Corporates "provides you with
proactive advice-to help you safeguard core value within a corporation
and to ensure that auditing processes and key personnel meet the
expectations of management, compliance, and stockholders alike.
Aimed primarily at auditors (both external and internal), risk managers,
accountants, CFOs, and consultants, "Effective Auditing for
Corporates "covers:
* Compliance and the corporate audit * Fraud detection * Risk-based
auditing * The development of Sarbanes-Oxley * Cultural changes in
external auditing * Auditing management information systems
