Auditing & Assurance Services: A Systematic Approach https://www.mheducation.com/cover-images/Jpeg_400-high/1259969444.jpeg 11 9781259969447 The fundamental values central to the Messier Jr./Glover/Prawitt text include: student engagement, a systematic approach, and decision making. Student Engagement: The authors believe students are best served by acquiring a strong understanding of the basic concepts that underlie the audit process and how to apply those concepts to various audit and assurance services. The text is accessible to students through straightforward writing and the use of engaging, relevant real-world examples, illustrations, and analogies. The text explicitly encourages students to “stop and think” at important points in the text to help them apply principles covered and also helps students see the application of concepts in a practical setting through “practice insight” boxes. A Systematic Approach: The authors first introduce the three underlying concepts of audit risk, materiality, and evidence, then follow with a discussion of audit planning, the assessment of control risk, and a discussion of the nature, timing, and extent of evidence necessary to reach the appropriate level of detection risk. These concepts are then applied to each major business process and related account balances using a risk-based approach, (in following with the new standards adopted by the various auditing boards). Decision Making: Since much of auditing practice involves the application of auditor judgment, the authors focus on critical judgments and decision-making processes. If a student understands these basic concepts and how to apply them to an audit engagement, he or she will be more effective in today's dynamic audit environment. The new edition even includes a full advanced module on Professional Judgment.

The Audit Data Analytics Appendix

provides an overview of the confluence of events that has brought the practice to its current state. It then goes into detailed discussion of the 5-step process of performing audit data analytics as proposed by the AICPA’s Audit Data Analytics Guide. The Appendix also has detailed examples of how audit data analytics can be used in risk assessment and as substantive tests. Connect also has new content that provides students with links to other web-based resources to help them learn and expand their analytics skills into new areas beyond the scope of the text. Given the importance of audit data analytics in practice, this Appendix will help instructors and students stay up-to-date on the latest trends.

Roger CPA Review

provides students with a smooth transition from the accounting classroom to successful completion of the CPA Exam. Students using the 11th edition of Messier will have access to sample CPA Exam multiple-choice questions and Task-based Simulations from Roger CPA Review, with expert-written explanations and solutions. All questions are either directly from the AICPA or are modeled on AICPA questions that appear in the exam. Instructors may assign the auto-gradable Roger CPA Review Multiple-choice Questions in Connect, and Task-based Simulations are delivered via the Roger CPA Review platform, which mirrors the look, feel, and functionality of the actual exam.

Tableau:

New to this edition is the use of Tableau, a marketing-leading data analytics and visualization software that students can download for free. The authors provide instruction on how to download Tableau and access basic tutorials created by the software provider. Additionally, the authors created new data visualiation and audit data analytics problems in Connect for the majority of the chapters using Tableau. This new functionality exposes students to cutting-edge technology used in practice. Solution files and guides are available online for instructors.

IDEA Data Analysis Software

is a powerful and user-friendly data analysis tool designed to help auditors perform audit data analytics, audit sampling, and other audit procedures efficiently and effectively. Students are introduced to IDEA in the text and through hands-on tutorials, exercises, and problems, including new problems for 11e regarding visualization and data analytics. Please note that the underlying dataset has been fundamentally changed for 11e, reducing concern about students using prior year solutions.

Student Engagement:

The authors believe students are best served by acquiring a strong understanding of the basic concepts that underlie the audit process and how to apply those concepts to various audit and assurance services. The text is accessible to students through straightforward writing and the use of engaging, relevant real-world examples, illustrations, and analogies. The text explicitly encourages students to “stop and think” at important points in the text to help them apply principles covered and also helps students see the application of concepts in a practical setting through “practice insight” boxes.

A Systematic Approach:

The text continues to take a systematic approach to the audit process by first introducing the three underlying concepts: audit risk, materiality, and evidence. This is followed by a discussion of audit planning, the assessment of control risk, and a discussion of the nature, timing, and extent of evidence necessary to reach the appropriate level of detection risk. These concepts are then applied to each major business process and related account balances using a risk-based approach. The text has been revised to

Decision Making:

Since much of auditing practice involves the application of auditor judgment, the authors focus on critical judgments and decision-making processes. If a student understands these basic concepts and how to apply them to an audit engagement, he or she will be more effective in today's dynamic audit environment. The new edition even includes a full advanced module on Professional Judgment.
