Poorly Written - One of the Worst
Frankly, I'm surprised that this book made it to publication. It has too many shortcomings. I'll cover one.
Audit and Control
I use this book as the basic text in my university course on computer auditing for CA's (CPA's to you south of the 49th) because it is the best text out of a bad lot.At times, Hall is concise and to the point.On occasion, for example in ch's 8 and 9 when he describes the audit of a receivables and a payables systems, his advice is detailed and valuable.Most of the time, though, he wanders into side issues in too much depth, ignores the concepts of risk and control, provides superficial advice and examples on CAAT's (despite the inclusion of the ACL disk, which, although stripped down, is worth the price of admission) and is just too thin on practical discussions of auditing in an EDP environment. ...

Not a good source for recent AS/400 info
Because the book was published in2001, and it used the AS/400 name in it's title, I expected it to be a good source on recent developments in security on the AS/400 (AKA the IBM iSeries).I am dissapointed.While the information that is included in the book seems generally accurate (I have a few quibbles in areas like QSECURITY, Adopted Authority, CHGSYSLIBL, and CRTAUT to name a few), the big problem is that there are huge chunks of current technologies that are not even addressed in this audit standard.Read more

Review of Handbook of Communication Audits for Organisations
Owen Hargie, Professor of Communication at the University of Ulster and Dennis Tourish, senior lecturer at University of Queensland, Australia, introduce the concept of communication audits in their handbook.This book is useful for employees involved in communications audits or those conducting audits for an organization.Their book examines methodologies for audits including a chapter each on questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, and log-sheets. The handbook provides practical help for auditors including a section on possible survey questions as well as attributes of a world-class communication system. A section of the book includes real-world examples where the authors have conducted similar communication audits to the ones they describe in the introduction.These case studies show how application can be made of the principles discussed in the handbook and include some valuable "lessons learned". This book includes some of the lastest thinking on communication audits in organizations.Only one drawback that may be noticable to an American audience - both authors are native to the "queen's English" and some of the wording may sound very British especially when trying to "translate" for a typical American organization. It's important to keep in mind that some wording may need to be slightly adjusted for the American business reader. ... Read more
