Integrated approach For rIsk assessment and audIt decIsIon makIng
Our objective is to provide up-to-date coverage of globally recognized auditing concepts with practical examples of applying these concepts in real-world settings. Members of our team of authors have taught extensively in continuing education for large international or small CPA firms and have been involved in standard-setting activities of the Auditing Standards Board and the PCAOB. One author served over seven years as one of the board members of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Key concepts related to risk assessment, as outlined in standards issued by the Auditing Standards Board (ASB) and the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB), including a focus on significant risks, are included in all planning chapters , as each chapter deals with a specific transaction cycle and related accounts. Our area of internal control relates to tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions performed in an audit of financial statements and an integrated audit of financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, with an emphasis on the requirements of the PCAOB auditing standards. This edition includes complete coverage of the AICPA Clarity Project, including guidance in the recently issued SAS No.

The requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and PCAOB Auditing Standard 5 (AS 5), which affect accelerated filing public companies, and the risk assessment standards issued by the Auditing Standards Board are integrated throughout the text. For the 16th edition, we reorganized Chapters 8–12 to include expanded coverage of the auditor's performance of risk assessment procedures, including the identification of significant risks. Subsequent chapters, focusing on the transaction cycles, include extensive coverage of internal controls to help students understand how the auditor's consideration of internal controls is integrated into the audit of financial statements and internal controls over financial reporting.
We believe these guidelines will help students strengthen their understanding of the challenges associated with auditing financial instruments. Many tasks in the text can be solved using the Excel templates available on the website with the text. These problems are related to the topic of the chapter so that students can see how auditing software is used to perform certain types of auditing tests.
Part 3, Applying the Audit Process to the Sales and Receipts Cycle (Chapters 14–17) These chapters apply the concepts from Part 2 to the audit of sales, cash receipts, and the income statement and balance sheet accounts. Appropriate audit procedures for accounts in the sales and collection cycle relate to internal control and the audit objectives for tests of controls, substantive tests of transactions, and tests of details of balance sheets in the context of the audit of financial statements and the audit of control. internal on financial reporting. Students also learn to apply audit sampling to the audit of sales, cash receipts, and accounts receivable.
We integrate the discussion of the implications related to the internal control audit into all these chapters of the transaction cycle. Cash and financial instruments are examined late in the text to demonstrate how the audit of cash and financial instrument balances relates to most other areas of control. Part 6, Other Assurance and Non-Assurance Services (Chapters 25 and 26) The last two chapters deal with various types of engagements and reports, other than the audit of financial statements based on generally accepted accounting principles.
Part 4, Applying the Audit Process to Other Cycles (Chapters 18-23) Each of these chapters covers a specific transaction cycle or part of a transaction cycle in much the same way that Chapters 14 through 17 cover the sales and collection cycle. Each chapter in Part 4 shows the relationship of internal controls, tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions for each broad category of transactions to the related balance sheet and income statement accounts. Part 5, Completing the Audit (Chapter 24) This part contains only one chapter, which deals with performing additional tests to meet presentation and disclosure objectives, summarizing all audit tests, reviewing audit documentation, obtaining management's representations in an integrated audit of financial statements, and internal control, communication with those charged with governance, and all other aspects of conducting an audit.
Test Item File & TestGen The test item file includes multiple-choice exercises, true/false answers, essay questions, and questions related to chapter vignettes. In addition, questions uniquely related to integrated audits of large public companies or the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section 404 are separately labeled for easy identification by the professor. Periodically, faculty will be able to access electronic summaries and PowerPoint slides of the latest changes in professional standards and summaries of key issues affecting the auditing profession.

The responsibility for implementing sound accounting policies, maintaining adequate internal controls and making fair representations in the financial statements lies with management and not with the accountant. Distinguish between management's responsibility for the financial statements and the auditor's responsibility for verifying those statements. The concept of reasonable, but not absolute, assurance indicates that the accountant is not an insurer or guarantor of the accuracy of the financial statements.
The auditor's best defense when a material misstatement is not detected is that he performed the audit in accordance with auditing standards. the auditor's general objectives when performing an audit of financial statements are: Auditing standards do not distinguish between the auditor's responsibility for finding errors and fraud. In obtaining reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, the auditor takes into account applicable legal and regulatory frameworks relevant to the client.
One of the problems for the auditor is determining how laws and regulations affect financial statement amounts and disclosures. The auditor's responsibilities regarding non-compliance with laws and regulations (often referred to as illegal acts) depend on whether the laws or regulations are expected to have a direct effect on the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. During the audit, other audit procedures may bring cases of suspected non-compliance to the auditor's attention.
If the discrepancy has a material effect and is not adequately reflected in the financial statements, the auditor should express a qualified or adverse opinion on the financial statements. To assess the effect of the matter on the audit of the financial statements, the auditor should consider the accounting and auditing standards and rules related to the matter. Decision Making After the analysis of facts and information is complete, the auditor applies judgment to make a decision.
This should guide the auditor to evaluate which aspects of the analysis and judgment process.
