In addition to the author’s own views of the auditor’s role, the reader is provided with a range of professional standards and guidance that provides a valuable source of various key issues and developments. K H Spencer Pickett has also developed many helpful models and checklists that provide a short cut to understanding the work and coverage of internal auditing.
