This outstanding new text, written by a distinguished name in the auditing field, focuses on helping students master both the methods and decision-making processes of auditing. By concentrating on the three underlying themes of materiality, audit risk, and evidence throughout the presentation, this text develops a systematic risk-based approach to the course, giving students both the technical skills they need as well as a means to apply informed judgment in any audit engagement. In addition, the text contains a single, integrated, running case--a paging services company--developed in chapter 2 and utilized throughout the text to demonstrate key auditing concepts and methods. An update is now available, shrink-wrapped for free, including coverage of SAS 82.

Messier is the only textbook that combines risk analysis with a cycles approach. Messier uses a cycles approach that introduces the audit risk model early and uses the audit risk model as an outline for all of the cycle chapters. This unique and innovative approach has been developed in response to changing market dynamics. The systematic approach used in the subtitle for the text reflects the early introduction of three basic concepts that underlie the audit process: materiality, audit risk, and evidence. These are central to everything an auditor does. As such, this approach facilitates student development of auditor judgment, a vital skill in today's auditing environment.

The fundamental values central to the Messier Jr./Glover/Prawitt text include: student engagement, a systematic approach, and decision making.Student Engagement: The authors believe students are best served by acquiring a strong understanding of the basic concepts that underlie the audit process and how to apply those concepts to various audit and assurance services. The text is accessible to students through straightforward writing and the use of engaging, relevant real-world examples, illustrations, and analogies. The text explicitly encourages students to “stop and think” at important points in the text to help them apply principles covered and also helps students see the application of concepts in a practical setting through “practice insight” boxes. A Systematic Approach: The authors first introduce the three underlying concepts of audit risk, materiality, and evidence, then follow with a discussion of audit planning, the assessment of control risk, and a discussion of the nature, timing, and extent of evidence necessary to reach the appropriate level of detection risk. These concepts are then applied to each major business process and related account balances using a risk-based approach, (in following with the new standards adopted by the various auditing boards). Decision Making: Since much of auditing practice involves the application of auditor judgment, the authors focus on critical judgments and decision-making processes. If a student understands these basic concepts and how to apply them to an audit engagement, he or she will be more effective in today's dynamic audit environment. The new edition even includes a full advanced module on Professional Judgment.

The third edition of Messier employs the new audit approaches currently being used by auditing professionals, and soon to be adopted by the Auditing Standards Board. This approach places emphasis on understanding the entity (i.e., the organization or business being audited) and its environment (i.e. industry), and then assessing the business risks faced by the entity and how management controls those risks. This new audit process focuses on business processes instead of accounting cycles. This unique and innovative approach has been developed in response to changing market dynamics. The systematic approach, referred to in the subtitle of the text, reflects the early introduction of three basic concepts that underlie the audit process: materiality, audit risk, and evidence; this allows Messier to build upon this model in subsequent chapters. These are central to everything an auditor does and a unique feature of Messier. As such, this approach facilitates student development of auditor judgment, a vital skill in today’s auditing environment.
