[Scott · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent book on how to be an exceptional professional auditor.

It should be sub-titled "The 9 Habits of Highly Effective Auditors" and every new auditor hired into one of the big four firms, medium or small firms, and any Internal Audit department should be given a copy of this book to read and study. It is a blueprint for success at the highest level in audit environment and situation.

Very good read on an often misunderstood career. A but too theoretical, it would be better if more practical application were provided ... but overall very good.
