Brief Introduction The authors of Auditing and Assurance in Hong Kong, Dr. Peter Lau and Mr. Nelson Lam, thank very much for the support of practitioners, professors and students, the first edition of Auditing and Assurance in Hong Kong has become one of the best selling auditing textbooks in Hong Kong. In the past two years, the readers and the authors have witnessed significant amendments to the auditing and assurance standards: a total of 36 newly updated and clarified International Standards on Auditing, a clarified International Standard on Quality Control as well as their Hong Kong equivalents will become effective for audits of financial statements for periods beginning on or after 15 December 2009. Based on this background, Peter and Nelson have significantly revised the first edition and are proud to present to you this second edition With reference to the latest developments in the auditing standards, in particular the convergence to the IAASB Clarity Project, accounting standards and professional ethics guidance in Hong Kong in 2009, Auditing and Assurance in Hong Kong (2nd Edition) is one of the first books to cover such latest regulatory developments in Hong Kong. Auditing and Assurance in Hong Kong (2nd Edition) is not only designed for the university students and the candidates preparing their professional accountancy examinations of HKICPA, ACCA, AIA, HKAAT and LCCI, but also served as a quick reference to the professional accountants and practitioners in Hong Kong. Students and lecturers should find this a good textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate auditing courses. Practitioners will find the concepts and explanations useful in their daily work, and they can use the book as a guide in performing various audit and non-audit engagements. |
