The Audit Process or Electronic Communications

The Audit Process: Principles, Practice and Cases

Author: Iain Gray

This is a key textbook for specialist students of accounting and finance, either undergraduate or professional, taking a first course in auditing. In this third edition the authors continue to provide a refreshing, imaginative and thorough introduction to the audit process, with a rational and coherent foundation for the appreciation of auditing practice. This Revised ISA edition is entirely up to date with changes post-Enron, with new international auditing standards and IFRS replacing UK accounting standards for the first time. With the aid of numerous examples, case studies and questions, The Audit Process: Principles, Practice and Cases provides a realistic and thought-provoking insight into the individual components of the auditing process in the context of the entire audit. A major strength of the book is its questioning approach, designed to encourage the student to interact with the material.

Electronic Communications: Principles and Systems

Author: William D Stanley

This distinctive book develops a solid understanding of the overall general principles that govern all communications systems. The mathematical techniques have been kept to a relatively modest level, making the book accessible to readers with only a moderate background in integral and differential calculus, yet its broad coverage provides exposure to such sophisticated analytical techniques as Fourier transforms, spectral analysis, and the performance of systems in the presence of noise. Practical applications and interpretations are stressed, with emphasis on signal processing at the block diagram or systems level, in order to provide a better background for readers as the technology advances and new integrated circuits or modules become available.
