In this valuable resource, authors Raaum and Morgan present original performance audit concepts and practice aids as well as those being applied in leading audit organisations.

It provides auditors with practical guidance for conducting performance audits in accordance with the Government Auditing Standards. It also includes guidance for passing the Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP) exam.

This unique publication provides practical, in-depth guidance that applies to practitioners at every level and is perfect for use as a guide in planning performance audit assignments, doing fieldwork, and writing reports. The easy-to-follow structure of the individual chapters makes this book ready for use in a training course or as reference material.
