Reviews for The Routledge Companion to Auditing

'This book, written by leading audit researchers, communicates important research findings on a wide range of audit issues and tensions. This book will help the profession, investors, and regulators to better understand the contribution of academic research. Perhaps of more importance, it will create a dialogue to better harness the intellectual capital of the academy as an independent voice within the audit community.' - David Lont, Professor, University of Otago, New Zealand 'The Routledge Companion to Auditing provides a concise and insightful analysis of extant research in auditing. The authors are globally recognized scholars and their insights into the various aspects of the auditing market and the process of auditing will provide professional accountants and accounting researchers a lens to apply and better understand this important research.' - Jeff L. Payne, Professor, University of Kentucky, USA
