Though pieces on traditional financial audit are included, this is not, as its title might suggest to some, simply a collection of essays describing financial audit techniques and experiences. The editors bring together in one volume a view of best practices in the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. [They] commissioned contributions from a diverse group of experts carefully chosen to provide the reader with a broad understanding of quality assessment practices worldwide. This is a well-written book on a topic of current relevance worldwide. It ought to be required reading for all those embarking on quality assessment initiatives as well as those seeking to understand better why their current processes might not be achieving the level of success anticipated. -- Planning for Higher Education Author InformationAlison Holmes, Sally Brown Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
