It also includes many helpful models, practical guidance and checklists. Review: ... still reading another one but am sure I will like it. - I have not yet read it am still reading another one but am sure I will like it. Review: Informative for beginners - As an auditor, this book is an extremely useful guide with references directly linked from the IIA standards. Unlike the terms and explanations used by traditional books, it presents some different landscape of outlook to easily understand important concepts behind internal auditing. The book also reflects contemporary issues with hints of relevant historical events and it clearly emphasized the areas auditors should have focus and be aligned with to bring more value to businesses and organizations. However, illustrative models made by the author are a bit confusing and most of the time do not relate in some degree of sense to the author's explanation. But definitely, a recommended book for beginning practitioners.

A Book ONLY an Auditor Could Love.
I reviewed this book last summer and would love to adapt it into my classes, but I know that my students would NEVER read this. This book is littered with important and insightful tidbits of information. At least 100 times I stopped and said "wow, I never thought of it that way." The fact that I kept falling asleep while reading the book reflects more on the American reader's need for bright flashing lights and inability to process the dry, than the quality of the material. I'm sad that I've become someone who need pictures and graphs and captions and text and even occasional bold type in order to enjoy a well written, well researched tome. I'm also disappointed that this book doesn't show up at IIA events, isn't well known in academic circles, and most book reps don't seem to know about it. Overall I would call this required reading for auditing instructors, audit nerds, and people who love dry British literature. If he ever comes out with a dumbed down version with end of chapter questions, mini-cases and a test bank then I'm using this book because it is far superior to the competition. 1,000% better than Herman Melville even without the whale.
