Klappentext

Hey, future auditors, this book's your ultimate guide! Welcome to Audit and Risk Mastery: AUS NZ CA Edition-a textbook built from the ground up for Chartered Accountant hopefuls in Australia and New Zealand. Think of it as your friendly, all-in-one companion for tackling the wild world of auditing and risk management. We're diving into the past-think ancient Mesopotamia ledgers-to today's high-tech tools like blockchain and AI. You'll uncover how auditing standards evolved after crashes like 1929 and flops like Enron. It's packed with real-world cases, from Arthur Andersen's lessons to spotting Ponzi schemes. We'll explore ethical tightropes, like saying no to a shady CFO, and practical skills, like auditing a retailer's supply chain mid-crisis. This book's got it all-history, principles, tech, and tomorrow's challenges.

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.
