Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auditing and assurance service education has undergone dramatic change in at least three ways: (1) An awakening that practitioners have a comparative advantage in offering professional services that transcend the boundaries of financial statements; (2) An understanding that client strategies affect engagement risk; and (3) A transition away from first-person delivery by classroom instructors only and toward third-person discovery by students both within and outside of the classroom. Each has influenced the seventh edition. To transcend the boundaries of financial statements, Auditing and Assurance Services exposes students both to the demand for and the supply of the profession's flagship service, financial statement audits, and to the nature of the value-added assurance services decision makers demand in the information age.
