Modern Analytical Auditing: Practical Guidance for Auditors and Accountants
Thomas E. McKee Manufacturer: Quorum Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0899303544 |
Book Description
Analytical auditing--or the generation of audit evidence from an analysis of the relationships among financial and nonfinancial data--is now a widely used technique in audit practice. This volume is intended to help auditors at all experience levels by providing a better understanding of the range of available analytical auditing techniques, the underlying theory supporting these techniques, and the solutions to practical problems in applying these techniques. Sixteen different practical analytical auditing procedures are discussed and illustrated in detail, including the graphical, average change, and weighted average methods of simple time series analysis; simple reasonableness tests; various structural modeling; and ratio analysis techniques. In addition to thorough coverage of key analytical auditing techniques, McKee also presents a comprehensive discussion of evidence theory that will enable auditors to appropriately combine evidence from analytical auditing with evidence from more traditional audit procedures. He reviews the relevant professional auditing standards for all types of auditors, including international auditing standards, those of the American Institute of CPAs, internal auditing standards, and governmental auditing standards. Especially valuable is an extended discussion and illustrations of computer applications of analytical auditing techniques. Throughout the book, tables and figures facilitate the reader's understanding of the techniques and concepts presented. An indispensable handbook for use in financial, operational, and compliance audits, this volume belongs on the bookshelf of every CPA, internal auditor, and governmental auditor.

Creating a Culture of Competence
Michael Zwell Manufacturer: Wiley ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0471350745 |
Book Description
Competence-and its role in achieving peak performance-remains one of the hot issues in business today. Yet it's not enough for individual leaders, managers, and employees to demonstrate personal competencies. Rather, an entire organization must be unified to create a culture of competence. This culture can then be passed along to succeeding generations of employees who will continue to contribute to, and strengthen, a company's future.Customer Reviews:
Promise partially delivered.......2000-09-07
It fails to provide any integrated view of how these ideas can be leveraged to create an organizational competence. For example, there is a very brief discussion of whether competency assessment should be linked to compensation, with a general list of pros and cons, and the answer is, git depends on the organisation.h To adequately deal with this issue, we need at least a minimum understanding of the value of a gculture of competenceh against those of alternative corporate cultures that place less emphasis on personal competencies than on other factors such as management control, cooperation, and competition.
I recommend the book for those seeking a practical understanding of personal competency management, but not for those seeking to gcreate a culture of competence.h The book only partially delivers on its stated promise, but remains useful for the hands-on guidance it contains.

The Invisible Universe Revealed: The Story of Radio Astronomy
Gerrit L. Verschuur Manufacturer: Springer-Verlag ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: B000PJH1Z8 |
Product Description
Radio astronomy is the study of radio waves from space. Many objects in the universe, including certain stars, galaxies, and nebulae, as well as a wide variety of peculiar, fascinating, and often mysterious objects, emit radio waves through naturally occurring processes. Radio astronomers use large antennas, known as radio telescopes, together with very sensitive radio receivers to detect the prescence of the waves, and our book is about the findings of this young, twentieth-century science. Included are over 100 illustrations. UNITS INCLUDE: 1)The Adventure of Radio Astronomy - What is it?; The Exploration of the Radio Astronomical Unknown; Electromagnetic Spectrum; Radio Telescopes; How Radio Waves from Space are Generated; Radio Spectra; Position Measurement; Seeking Knowledge. 2) Extragalactic Radio Sources - Quasars; Radio Galaxies; Cosmic Jets, Black Holes and Cannibalism; Radio Galaxies and Quasars. 3) The Milky Way - The Galactic Center; The Mily Way Radio Beacon; The Galactic Radio Nebulae; Interstellar Hydrogen; Interstellar Molecules. 4) Stellar-Type Radio Sources - Pulsars; Radio Sun and Planets; Galactic Superstars. 5) The Universe and Life - Beyond the Quasars-Radio Cosmology; On the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. 6) Radio Asronomy Review - Musings on the Evolution of a Science; Radio Telescopes-The present; The Future.

Eisenhower's Heart Attack: How Ike Beat Heart Disease and Held on to the Presidency
Clarence G. Lasby Manufacturer: University Press of Kansas ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0700608222 |
Book Description
When delegates to the 1956 Republican National Convention sang "Ike for four more years," they were celebrating the president's health as much as his political agenda. Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack less than a year before, and his campaign to seek a second term symbolized for many Americans Ike's victory over a nearly fatal illness. This, it seems, was the intended effect.Previous Eisenhower biographers have touched on his heart condition, but Clarence Lasby is the first to examine the impact of the president's health on the nation. He offers a dramatic revisionist account of the events surrounding the 1955 heart attack and subsequent efforts by the president and his staff to minimize its political impact.
Drawing on newly opened medical records and personal papers of Eisenhower's physicians, Lasby challenges virtually everything we have believed about the president's heart attack. Most disturbingly, he has discovered that the president's personal physician, Dr. Howard Snyder, misdiagnosed the attack as a gastrointestinal problem and waited ten hours before sending Eisenhower to the hosptial.
Lasby also sets the record straight on how the president and his aides "managed" the public's understanding of events, and he offers evidence that Eisenhower, Dr. Snyder, and press secretary James Hagerty withheld and recast information to serve the president's political priorities.
Equally important, Lasby's book offers a touching portrait of a proud man faced with a debilitating disease. It examines Ike's private struggle to lead a full life despite his condition and analyzes his decision to seek a second term even against the advice of cardiologist Paul Dudley White. It also shows how a man who had always carefully looked after his health now became obsessed with it.
Eisenhower's Heart Attack is both a remarkable medical case history and an incisive character study of a strong-willed leader. It further illuminates one of our nation's most popular presidents, as it recharges the debate over the relationship between politics and presidential health-and between national security and the public's right to know.

How I Got Out of Jail and Ran for Governor of Indiana: The Jim Moore Story
Jim Moore , and Claire Burch Manufacturer: Regent Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0916147665 |
Book Description
Jim Moore, although ninety years old, is still active in developing ideas that will benefit people. Despite partial blindness and a pacemaker he delivers newspapers every day, plans and distributes leaflets, speaks out wherever he goes against poverty and injustice, and spends his spare time trying to get housing for the homeless. In 1931, under his birth name of Theodore Luesse, he went to prison for 21 months for obstructing legal process. What he was obstructing were evictions in Indiana during the Great Depression. He obstructed evictions of jobless people because of his deep belief that every person has the right to live, just because hes alive. All his arrests have been for a social cause. Since the government protects the habitats of animal life, it was and is Jims belief that this same protection should extend to human beings. Salty blue collar language and wit.

Coan's excellent research and editing of the interviews has yielded an invaluable resource of our country's immigration history. The stories are fascinating, and the guts and determination possessed by many of the immigrants are beyond admirable. Reading the "Ellis Island Interviews" is a touching and humbling experience - it will help you to better appreciate what those who came before you have endured. Ellis Island ceased to be an INS port in 1954, and almost all of those who came to the U.S. through Ellis Island are now very advanced in age - we have Coan to thank for preserving their stories for generations to come.
