Behind Closed Doors: What Company Audit Is Really About
This text takes us "behind closed doors" to uncover the nature of the relationship between the audit engagement partner and the company finance director in major listed companies. Based on matched interviews, the book uncovers both sides' perceptions of how issues are resolved.
