Auditing Fundamentals in a South African Context 2e is a practical, applied and engaging introductory textbook that supports students throughout the undergraduate level of the Auditing curriculum. The text is designed to enhance learning by supporting holistic understanding: theory is presented within the framework of the real-world business environment, assisting students to apply principles and standards with an understanding of their context.

The text offers a clear pedagogical framework, which supports applied learning and develops independent, critical and reflective engagement with the subject matter. A continuing case study, which follows each stage of the audit of a South African company, demonstrates the practical application of learned principles and the integration of the auditing process with a typical audit client's business.

The second edition is comprehensively revised to reflect all relevant, recent changes in the requirements of legislation, financial reporti ng and auditing pronouncements and codes, and addresses the new Code of Professional Conduct which was issued by the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants in the final quarter of 2018.

Additional educational resources support teaching and learning, assisting students to develop the academic skills required to master their studies.

Ethics for Accountants and Auditors 4e offers an introduction to the ethical value systems and ethical theories that are relevant to the accounting and auditing profession.
