The book lacks any system
Most importantly, the book lacks any system and after reading it you do not really get the big picture and systematic view of hte auditing process. Many chapters are long winded: it takes the authors long time to say something. The cases are not as many and do not give very good examples of the auditing process as I was expecting before buying the book.

The Best book for learning auditing
First, the book begins with a case of small business (Andrew and James, two friends, are going in a busines of selling of a bunkrupt stock; James stays out of active business due to a accidental broken leg till the end ofthe 6 month period where this the time for sharing the profit of thisjoint-venture.) which is the clearest one telling the very concept of thesubject (auditing in this case). And also the presantion is very good, casestudies, activities are very good and subject is clearly explained aroundthose. The small notes at side of each page are also very informative andthey accelarate the reading and understanding of the subject.Thequestions and answers at the second part of the book (actually 30 pages atthe end of the book of total 650 or so pages of the book)is very helpful.And each chapter contains at the end a useful list of reading materials asreferance and further reading. If you want to learn auditing process bothin theory and practice this the book where you should look at first. ... Read more

Horrible Textbook - AVOID IF POSSIBLE(deserves 0 stars)
This text is excruciatingly boring - it's too wordy and on the whole, simply a weak product.Not a teaching tool by any measure.The homework is VERY POORLY tied back to the text. The text itself is dry, with zero visual aids (no real bolding or section headers).Case examples are too short to really prove a point, which is a shame considering the value of case analysis in a subject such as auditing.An online "help site" is available for students...just as bad as the text...the powerpoint slides are AWFUL, it makes me wonder who edited this author's material.I am almost led to believe that this author is trying to keep the competition out of the auditing industry by boring potentially fresh blood from entering the marketplace.Hopefully some other auditor/CPA out there has written a book that actually has some value.....IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT - REPEAT - DO NOT!! - BUY THIS BOOK.I hope I can save at least one person some money out there.

Get lost
This book is worse than Dennis Rodmans acting ability. ... Read more

Disappointing and not focused!
I have taken up the book based on the reputation of Mr K.H. Spencer Pickett and was disappointed with the way the book was written.
Very Good General I/C Coverage
This book did an excellent job of covering the entire gamut of internal control from the enviroment to procedure writing.The chapter on concepts of control was particularly well written. Good book, worth the time and money.
This book will benefit both the new and seasoned professional. Its good for new managers and auditors wanting to get a broad understanding of internal control. The Picketts touch on just about every element of control and give good examples on application. New professionals can use this book as a development tool. I expect they will need to research some of the topics more.Read more

Good Information for New Auditors
This is a nice resource for audit students or new auditors.I doubt it would be entertaining for most others.The book was written as an "instructional novella" for students and it offers some good information on public accounting audit careers.

Well for everyone who knows accounting
This is an auditing book for ones who know some accounting and want to learn basic and important aspects of auditing. Even this is not useful for introductory level, it can be still used for this purpose. Some of the examples are given from CPA firms and this makes the book efficient for later usage. ... Read more

Must Read for PMO Directors and Sr. Management
Steve's first book (Advanced Project Portfolio Management and the PMO with Gerald Kendall) transformed the perception of a PMO from a project cost management/efficiency cop to a potential profit center, raising the bar for most organizations. He (along with Richard Lanza) has pushed the envelope again making the case for the PMO as the best qualified entity for preventing financial losses to the corporation due to project fraud.
Must Reference for Project Management and SOX Compliance
This is a necessary reference for effective project management and Section 404 compliance under Sarbanes-Oxley. The book provideds an abundance of checklists and questions that will make this an ongoing well used reference for ensuring continued corporate governance. The reality of project fraud and its widespread impact is clearly spelled out. Rollins and Lanza accomplished their objective with well stated structures for breaking down the work steps needed to prevent fraud and establish effective internal controls for managing projects. You get your money's worth with this book.

Working Together - Collaborating to Beat Fraud
As a project manager, I was very interested to read this book. The consequences of unchecked fraudulent activity in the public and private sectors does more than affect the "bottom line." It erodes public confidence in the ability of managers to protect the assets assigned to their care.
