  • NEW LINKS REFER STUDENTS TO CORRESPONDING OR RELEVANT CASES THAT CLARIFY PRINCIPLES. These helpful links appear by chapter to direct students to additional, relevant and timely cases in the Knapp's CONTEMPORARY AUDITING, 11E case textbook.
  • STUDENTS LEARN TO IDENTIFY AND RESEARCH RELEVANT AUDITING STANDARDS. Your students learn to research auditing standards as they complete the end-of-chapter practice. This required research helps students prepare for CPA exam task-based simulations that require candidates to search relevant authoritative literature and cite appropriate guidance. These new end-of-chapter problems are clearly identified as "Auditing Standards Application Activities".
  • NEW, CHALLENGING LEARNING FEATURES PROVIDE ENHANCED FOCUS ON CRITICAL THINKING. This edition's new in-text features, including "What Do You Think?: For Classroom Discussion" and "Prompts for Critical Thinking: It's Your Turn!" challenge students to strengthen and refine their analytical abilities and critical-thinking skills.
  • STREAMLINED APPROACH HELPS STUDENTS PREPARE BEFORE EACH CHAPTER AND REVIEW WITH SUMMARIZED KEY POINTS FROM CHAPTER CONTENT. At the beginning of each chapter, a list of "Learning Objectives" and "What You Will Learn" direct students' attention to the concepts covered in the chapter. Each chapter also concludes with "Let's Review", which highlights a bulleted list of important points covered in the chapter.
  • STUDENTS CAN NOW CHECK THEIR BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF AUDITING CONCEPTS AS THEY READ THROUGH EVERY CHAPTER. Each chapter includes true/false and multiple-choice questions integrated throughout the chapter presentation. In addition, students can stop and "Check Your Basic Knowledge" as they read the chapter.
  • NEW FOCUS ON DEVELOPING DATA ANALYTICAL SKILLS APPEARS THROUGHOUT THIS EDITION. The book discusses these skills and tools in detail in Chapter 8. In addition, students practice analytical skills in Tableau®-based problems at the end of each of the cycle chapters. The problems include Tableau® data interaction using a modified version of their Superstore database. Students also identify particularly data-analytic relevant articles in Issues in Accounting Education.
  • EMPHASIS ON PROFESSIONAL SKEPTICISM INTRODUCES THE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF THIS CONCEPT. From a questioning mind to critical assessment of auditing evidence, this book provides your students with the tools to apply the concept of professional skepticism. The book introduces this topic in Chapter 1, while end-of-chapter problems throughout this edition help students see the practical applications of professional skepticism.
  • PROFESSIONAL DECISION-MAKING AND ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING FRAMEWORKS PREPARE READERS FOR REAL BUSINESS CHALLENGES. Several features, including two decision-making frameworks, require readers to carefully consider real-life professional and ethical decisions associated with the chapter's concepts. End-of-chapter cases further emphasize the importance of using professional and ethical decision-making frameworks to address contemporary issues.
  • FEATURES AND CHAPTER EXHIBITS BRING ATTENTION TO MEMORABLE EXAMPLES. Each chapter contains multiple "Why It Matters" and "Focus on Fraud" features and related exhibits that highlight important, relevant, and practical examples and key information related to the chapter's topics. Selected end-of-chapter problems further reinforce this information by requiring that readers review specific features and exhibits.
  • ACADEMIC RESEARCH CASES HIGHLIGHT RELEVANT RESEARCH STUDIES. Because academic research influences auditor decisions, end-of-chapter problems require students to read a specific research paper and answer questions related to the chapter's topics. Students learn to link theories with relevant academic research as part of their learning experiences, as recently recommended by The Pathways Commission. Selected academic articles are approachable, yet highlight the complexities of real auditing.
  • FOCUS ON DATA ANALYTICS EMPHASIZES PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS. The topic of data analytics is introduced in Chapter 8. The following cycle chapters include end-of-chapter Tableau®-based problems to help students develop the skills necessary to become data-driven decision makers.
  • GENERALIZED AUDIT SOFTWARE WORKS SEAMLESSLY WITH UPDATED CASES. The most popular audit analytics software today is available to correspond with each new text. This new edition closely integrates the use of software into both homework and cases. An appendix and tutorial located at the end of the textbook provide guidance for students unfamiliar with the software. Access to the software can be provided by Instructors who are enrolled in the ACL Academic Network program. Please refer to the Interview Guide for additional details.
