Auditing counts! With recent incidents at WorldCom, Enron, Xerox, Tyco, and other companies, auditing has never been so important. Auditing is perhaps our single best defense in ensuring the integrity of our financial reporting system. That's why this new Eighth Edition of Boynton and Johnson's Modern Auditing focuses on decision making and the critical role auditors play in providing assurance about the integrity of the financial reporting system. Known for its clear writing and accessibility, this text provides comprehensive and integrated coverage of current developments in the environment, standards, and methodology of auditing. Features * Real-world examples relate issues discussed in the chapter to ethics, audit decision making, and the integrity of the financial reporting system. * Focus on Audit Decisions sections highlight key factors that influence an auditor's decisions. * Includes discussion of the role of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Auditing Standards, and a chapter feature highlights PCAOB standards that differ from Generally Accepted Auditing Standards for private companies. * Expanded case material related to the integrated audit case (Mt. Hood Furniture) provides a variety of databases that allow students to utilize generalized audit software (IDEA) to accomplish various audit tasks. Multiple databases allow the case to be reused with different data from term to term. * A flowchart style chapter preview begins each chapter. * Chapter summaries reinforce important audit decisions included in the chapter. * End-of-chapter material organized by audit decisions provides a clear link between audit decisions discussed in each chapter and the problem material.

Though Balance Sheet is supposed to exhibit true and fair exposure of a business or enterprise, but due to certain limitations in following the rigidity in accounting principle and ignoring the socio-economic changes, its very objective is defeated. In this book, the author has not only highlighted the limitation but also proposed a new model of Balance Sheet in consideration of the impact of non-financial elements and price level changes in accounting. The book contains ten Chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the object, area and scope of the study. Chapter 2 speaks of the definition and history of balance sheet. Valuation of assets and liabilities is dealt with in chapter 3. Human element being an important ingredient in running as well as earning of a business is incorporated in accounting in Chapter 4. Money value and real value concept is dealt with in Chapter 5. The dupe concept of `true and fair' is presented in Chapter 6. The conflict between tax rule and accounting principle and their impact on balance sheet is explained in Chapter 7. Impossibility of correct interpretation of balance sheet for its inherent limitation is discussed in Chapter 8. Non-financial elements which play vital role in business are dealt with in Chapter 9. In Chapter 10, efforts are made to design a New Model of Balance Sheet by wiping out the shadow of limitation to a great extent.
