Book Description

IT AUDITING is an innovative and cutting edge product, which provides students an understanding of how to audit accounting information systems, including such new and expanded coverage of enterprise systems, fraud and fraud detection topics as continuous online auditing. Its organization and its integration of ACL software within the package ensure a solid background in traditional auditing as well as in the auditing of accounting information systems. The combination of text and software create a double learning environment in which students will gain a true understanding of how these audits take place in the real world.

Customer Reviews:

The worst written book award!.......2007-05-11

This is one of the worst written and ill-conceived book. Author knows very little about current trends in information systems. An average well-informed reader would know more about information systems than the author without reading a single page of this book. Author's style is old school, orthodox and boring. Maybe his military background is making him approach everything in a disciplined way without curiously questioning how and why. No examples, no case studies discussed. Way too generic, confusing and useless work. I wasted my money as this was a textbook for the course I took in IT auditing. My suggestion to readers is to explore other references in IT auditing on amazon.

Amazon is not allowing me to go lower than one star. I will give it a one star since it is 568 stupid pages bound between two paperboards! IT auditing is relatively a new field and this book is a bogus opportunistic attempt to cash on the new buzz word "IT auditing".

Poorly Written - One of the Worst.......2006-07-27

Frankly, I'm surprised that this book made it to publication. It has too many shortcomings. I'll cover one.

Among other shortcomings, the authors could improve on their writing by including topic sentences in paragraphs. To illustrate, consider the following first sentence in a paragraph:

"The result of natural disasters, such as fires, floods, wind, and earthquakes, are usually catastrophic to the computer center and information systems, even though the probability of such an occurrence is remote."

Based on this topic sentence you would think the subsequent sentences would expound on natural disasters and touch on the frequency of occurrence. Although the paragraph started on topic it quickly faded to discussions on human-made disasters and system failures. These should have been topics for separate paragraphs.

If this is the best available on the topic then I believe an opportunity exists for others to make some money on a better book. The "bar is low" with this book.

I would be interested to hear other comments. My comments are from the eyes of a student who is currently using this disappointing textbook. It is one of the worst textbooks I've encountered in my student career.

Audit and Control.......2001-09-29

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.

Book Description

This new text reflects Bill Kinney's experience on the special committee of assurance services, The Elliot Committee. The book is not designed to train students to be auditors. Instead, it has a strategic orientation and is intended for future managers, bankers, investment bankers, analysts, investors, IT consultants, and practicing CPAs. It is unique in that it builds upon related courses in finance, strategy, operations management, information technology, and financial and managerial accounting. There are two broad objectives of the book: 1. To introduce business students to the use of auditors and internal control to run a business better by lowering the costs of capital, production and distribution. 2. To assist accounting students by integrating their knowledge of financial and managerial accounting, information technology, and business strategy with the role of professional assurers.

Description:
In September 2001, the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) Education Committee issued Exposure Draft IEG-1, which states, ''Information technology is pervasive in the world of business. Competence with this technology is an imperative for the professional accountant.'' This view was seconded by a leading visionary in the assurance profession, who recently stated that ''every aspect of the accounting profession is being pervasively affected by advances in information technology'' [Audit. J. Pract. Theory 21 (1) 2002]. Clearly, accounting/auditing education needs to incorporate these technology changes to stay relevant. Despite the apparent need for change, leading academicians have recently talked about the possible demise of accounting/auditing education due to a failure keep up with changes in the business world. Accounting/auditing education has been described as outdated, broken, and in need of significant modification (Albrecht WS, Sack RJ. Accounting education: charting the course through a perilous future. Accounting education series. Sarasota, FL: American Accounting Association, vol. 16, 2000). This study focuses on identifying appropriate information technologies (ITs) for auditing professors and audit practitioners and measuring their self-perceptions of knowledge about these technologies. We conducted a literature search that resulted in the identification of 36 critical information technologies. We then surveyed 1000 accounting information systems (AIS) and auditing professors and 1000 audit practitioners to determine their self-reported IT knowledge levels and perceptions about the best places to learn IT skills. The survey also solicited their views about the best place in the educational process for initially learning these technologies, as well as views about educational methodology. Response rates of 31.2% for professors and 24.7% for practitioners were obtained for the survey. After conducting factor analysis, we found a relatively low level of knowledge for e-commerce and advanced technologies and audit automation constructs by both educators and practitioners, but we found a relatively high level of knowledge for office automation and accounting firm office automation constructs. Results also indicate that the educators with more teaching experience, but lower reported IT knowledge levels, tend to teach auditing. Furthermore, we found a potential ''learning gap'' between educators and practitioners that may occur for 5 of the 36 technologies examined. The results of this research are important for auditing and AIS education because they strongly suggest that more attention needs to be paid to issues such as assigning courses based on knowledge level rather than seniority, technology training and awareness programs for educators and practitioners, and coverage of IT in the university curriculum.

Description:
This study uses experimental market and laboratory experiment methodologies to consider the impact of COA precision and associated cost on its demand over extended multi-period timeframes in repetitive decision-making environments open to competition. Results show that more precise COA is demanded both more in amount and consistency over time, including when priced at a slight premium. More precise COA demand is also highly sensitive to pricing and declines dramatically when its price is increased slightly. Discounted less precise COA demand is not sensitive to premium-pricing of higher quality COA. Exit responses validate the experimental behavior captured. Results indicate that COA should be developed as a higher quality service to internal decision-makers, especially considering specific requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. High quality COA providers should be aware that premium pricing substantially above that of competing lower quality COA will likely eliminate demand for high quality COA and substantially reduce total COA demand.
