The cases in The Lakeside Company are intended to create a realistic view of how an auditor organizes and conducts an audit examination. These cases provide a simulation that permits students to put the abstract and difficult concepts of auditing into practice. Students are guided through the various phases of an audit, from planning the audit to reporting. Every effort has been made to provide situations that are not particularly unusual, the kinds of problems that an auditor might face each day on the job.

  • Students have to perform realistic audit activities, such as:

* Analyze fraud risk factors,
* Perform analytical procedures,
* Prepare internal control flowcharts and narratives,
* Prepare and review audit documents (working papers),
* Prepare audit programs and apply audit procedures, and
* Prepare audit reports.

 

  • NEW–Audio Clips—Appear on the text catalog site. The clips encourage critical thinking about the subject material of the cases, and require students to read the material related to the clips, perform additional research, and prepare additional memos or reports.

 

  • NEW–Electronic Working Papers (Templates)—Located on the Arens: Auditing and Assurance Services, 10/e Companion Website (www.prenhall.com/arens)
