Auditing Cases
Knapp's "Auditing Cases, 9/e, International Edition" utilizes real-world
cases to highlight the work environment of auditors.
These cases help students to identify audit problem areas by using real-world examples
and pointing out potential red flags.
Knapp's "Auditing Cases, 9/e, International Edition" contains the most
recent, compelling, and up-to-date examples, including Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.,
First Keystone Bank, Phillips Petroleum Company, and Freescale Semiconductor Inc. New
cases have also been added to the "Audits of High-Risk Accounts" section,
examining well-known companies such as General Motors and Lipper Holdings, LLC. The ninth
edition fully integrates all recent risk assessment standards recently adopted by the
auditing community. This casebook can be used to supplement the first undergraduate
auditing course, as a primary text for a second undergraduate auditing course, or for a
graduate-level auditing seminar. Selected cases in this text are also suitable for use in
financial accounting courses.
