So, what’s inside? Short answer: everything you need. History of auditing standards. Core ethics like independence and skepticism. Risk assessment tricks using the fraud triangle. Step-by-step planning for a multinational audit. Testing controls in a fintech’s IT system. Substantive tests for revenue and assets. Decoding IFRS 15 for media firms. Auditing inventory in a grocery chain. Checking liabilities and equity in a startup. Handling post-balance-sheet surprises. Crafting audit opinions that stick. Sharpening your judgment for tricky calls. Mastering analytics to catch payroll fraud. Even tackling ESG audits for sustainability claims. It’s a full roadmap from start to finish, tailored to AUS NZ CA standards.
Now, here’s where we stand out. Other books? They skim the surface—dry rules, recycled examples, no spark. Audit and Risk Mastery flips that. We weave in fresh, Australasian-focused cases—like auditing a renewable energy firm amid subsidy shifts. We don’t just list standards; we show you how to apply them when the pressure’s on. Tech’s not an afterthought—it’s front and center, with blockchain and AI demystified for tomorrow’s audits. Plus, we tackle what’s next, like integrated reporting, that others skip. It’s your competitive edge: practical, cutting-edge, and written like we’re chatting over coffee—not lecturing from a podium.
Picture this: you’re prepping for your CA exams, or maybe starting your first audit gig. This book’s got your back. We’ll walk you through spotting material risks in a hospitality firm, testing a payroll system, or judging a bad debt reserve. Need to impress a board with a killer report? We’ve got tips for that too. It’s not just about passing—it’s about mastering the craft, from ethical dilemmas to digital tools. And for the forward-thinkers, we dive into auditing crypto ledgers and net-zero claims. It’s hands-on, real, and ready to make you the auditor everyone trusts.
