Kitap Hakkında
This book presents a comprehensive critical analysis of the financial audit methodology applied by the four major accounting and audit firms that exert considerable influence over the global economy. It also offers a wide range of current suggestions, approaches and thoughts that are currently being discussed in the auditing world. A substantial proportion of the ideas and criticisms presented in the book are a reflection of the author's theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of auditing. The book commences with an ironic poem written in the 1930s, after which it proceeds to analyse the accounting scandals and auditing phenomenon from a variety of perspectives in the following four chapters. The final section of the book presents a thought-provoking analysis of the philosophy of auditing. The book concludes with a theatrical dialogue between the sophist and the auditor, which offers the general reader an insight into the philosophical, political and literary dimensions of the issues discussed.
