Comprehensive how-to book that guides the reader on performing risk management-based audits. The book covers the Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO).

Following the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley and its strict corporate governance and accountability provisions, developing better risk management techniques is becoming more important in meeting higher audit committee expectations.

The first part of the Auditor's Risk Management Guide provides a broad understanding of corporate governance, ERM principles, and different auditing approaches. It also provides step-by-step instructions on how to execute the risk management-based audit, including frequently asked questions.

The second part of the book is devoted to detailed case studies that illustrate the risk management-based audit methodology and tools in different scenarios, beginning with a business risk assessment and working through common audit areas such as closing the books, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. Practice Pointers and Observations throughout provide additional commentary to assist the reader in understanding the methodology.
