    Michelle Kramme, a new audit manager, just received the assignment to be the manager on the 200X audit. Michelle worked previously on the Bees' prior-year audits as a staff auditor. When she learned she would be managing the current-year engagement, she immediately thought back to all the hours of detailed testing of ticket sales she performed. On some of her other clients, Michelle has been successful at redesigning audit plans to make better use of analytical procedures as substantive tests. She is beginning to wonder if there is a more efficient way to gather substantive evidence related to ticket revenues on the Bees' engagement.…

    The report identifies the complexities that exist within the economic paradigms with relations to uncertainties and economic instability that have characterized the markets and businesses at large. The report analyzes the imperatives of organizations identifying efficient approaches to governance, risk and compliance (GRC). This is a sensitization on the part of various business organizations and entities about business environment that involves a number of risks and inefficient adherence to assurances, which have a high likelihood of negatively affecting the business activities and output. Performance and profitability define the direction, which a business organization undertakes. Undoubtedly, better performance lead to high profits while poor performance results in losses or a stagnating output. As a result, managements are required to adopt and adjust to approaches that are efficient in enhancing effective performance, which is necessary for an organization’s profitability (ICAA & KPMG 2012). Involvement of stakeholders in piling pressure on an organization’s board has created the need for the so-called boards and risk management committees to be able to obtain an in-depth insight in handling risk factors.…

    ABSTRACT This paper seeks to address the perceived failure of university teaching to foster critical understanding of audit practice and to identify a potential remedy. It contributes to the debate (Maltby, 2001, “Second thoughts about ‘Cases in Auditing’,” Accounting Education: an international journal, 10(4), 421– 428) by investigating the double-faceted nature of auditing: as a sub-set of the academic discipline of accounting and as professional practice. Although case studies are helpful for students of auditing, they tend to be artificial, or at best, retrospective. This paper introduces a different type of case study for audit education using corporate failure stories from the media as an example, proposing and explaining the notion of the ‘living case’ in order to foster critical appraisal of audit practice. It contributes to the literature on audit education by describing how this different type of case can address both the technical activities and the social practice of audit through Kolb’s (1984, Experiential Learning: Experience as the Source of Learning and Development, Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall) experiential learning theory and thus concludes that there is a place for the practical nature of auditing in academic study, in order to fully appreciate the social aspects.
