Auditor Independence
In Auditor Independence, Ismail Adelopo argues that the importance of auditors' independence cannot be over-emphasised. Not only do auditors provide certification of the truth and fairness of the information prepared by managers, they also have a duty to express opinions on the degree of compliance with laws and regulations guiding a firm's operations. Theirs is a socially important responsibility. In all that has been proposed to mitigate the governance crisis and restore confidence in the market system, relatively little attention has been paid to auditor independence. Examining the historical role of auditing in corporate governance and the regulatory context, this book sets the function ...

The Auditor
The audit profession is at a tipping point. Without significant innovation in its business model, staff recruitment strategies and audit execution processes, the audit profession may not remain relevant in the 21st century. The number of claims against auditors has significantly increased over the past twenty years due to the spate of corporate and audit failures early in the 21st century (Enron, Worldcom, Parmalat, etc.). Regulation to monitor professional and ethical standards has increased, leading audit firms to feel under even more financial pressure. In addition, the investor community is calling for greater insight and foresight from auditors. These challenges, coupled with the unlimi...
Auditing
From the PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION. It cannot be expected that any hard and fast rules will ever prevail, nor is it desirable that the personal element in an audit should be superseded by instruction prepared in advance, but it must be admitted that the experiences of one professional Auditor are of great value to others. It is the object of this work, therefore, to state as concisely as possible, the results of Mr. Dicksee's experience supplemented by suggestions from leading English and American accountants, and it is believed that some portion of this book, at least, will be found valuable to every American practitioner and student. Much of the matter herein contained is taken verba...
