Rezensionen

"The book will be of great interest to academics who have an interest in audit, particularly public audit. There will also be practitioner interest, particularly in the analysis of international perspectives". - Pat Barrett, former Auditor-General of Australia

"Public sector auditing currently has significant pressures and stresses associated with emerging social, demographic, economic, technological, and environmental challenges. This textbook presents several theoretical and practical contributions to knowledge of public sector auditing. The book provides a contemporary public sector auditing perspective that is geared to include the current and future challenges and provide significant insights for scholars and public sector actors to strategically decide on the many dynamic challenges." - Giuseppe Grossi, Professor, Nord University, Norway, and Kristianstad University, Sweden

"There is a dearth of academic research on public sector auditing. This text will be of great value to SAIs, policy makers, and the academic community in developing the critical role that SAIs play in systems of country governance." - Robert Buchanan, Chairperson, New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board
