ADVANCED CASE STUDIES IN EXTERNAL AUDITING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 14th edition

Advanced Case Studies in External Auditing & Corporate Governance 14th edition was written to assist students to:

• meet the requirements of the Competency Frameworks for Entry-Level Chartered Accountants (SA) issued by the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA); and
• develop the thought processes and skills necessary to answer the Auditing questions in professional examinations, especially SAICAs Initial Test of Competence (ITC) and Initial Assessment of Competence (IAC) examinations.

This text has been commended for its generic guidance at the start of each chapter, which serves as a set of pointers for students when answering the questions of the chapter. Most of the questions in the text are of a standard equal to those in the ITC / IAC examinations; the logic being that if one can successfully complete the case studies, one will pass the Auditing / Governance questions in the SAICA examinations. Even though the case studies in this text contain limited integration with other subject areas, strong intra-disciplinary integration is achieved within the Auditing / Governance domain, and this is an essential prerequisite in successfully navigating the Auditing / Governance questions in the integrated assessments.

Advanced Case Studies in External Auditing & Corporate Governance aims to develop students cognitive skills in Auditing / Governance. To achieve this, special effort has been made to ensure that the questions in the case studies are not excessively predictable and that the suggested solutions provided to universities that prescribe the text are complete and accurate.
