Book Description
Excerpt from Principles of Auditing, 1916 A young man came to New York with the intention of entering the profession of accountancy. He was energetic and ambitious; had a good general education and some experience in accounting work. He obtained employment with a firm of certified public accountants. The usual grind of footing and checking followed for a while; always under the direction of the man in charge of the engagement. Finally came the long sought chance to go out on an engagement alone. He received no instructions; in fact he never had received any instructions about how the work should be done. What he had learned had been learned by observation. He had been afraid to ask ques tions for fear such procedure would create the suspicion that he did not know as much about his work as he should. For the same reason when sent on the engagement alone he did not ask for working papers and reports which would serve as guides. The result of his work almost proved disastrous. Conscientious and careful as the work had been the report, although prepared with great pains, was not in the form used by the firm. When it was reviewed by the report department it was not only torn to pieces and made over but the accountant was held up to ridi cule before a number of persons who happened to be in the room. This unfortunate experience would have broken the spirit of some men. In this case it only served to lash the subject into a frenzied determination to succeed in the field of endeavor which he had chosen. How he toiled far into the night for several years while carrying on his daily work, at the same time getting a technical education, as well as some of his many and varied experiences, might make an interesting story but they have no place here. Some of the things he was never able to find in books and about which he was too proud to ask are set forth in this book. It is dedicated to a man who represents all that is fine and noble in a professional man; one who cannot help but be an inspiration to all who come in contact with him.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ...a balance may be checked how much has been received by the person handling the fund. The advantage of the fixed fund is the fact that one is able to tell by looking at the ledger or the trial balance, that the person in charge of the fund should have a certain amount, say $50 in cash or paid vouchers. Most auditors should, it seems, prefer the latter method over the first since it facilitates their work; also the scheme of showing the subsequent debit and credit items even though they represent only disbursements and re-imbursements. If the debit and credit items are shown, one may see at a glance the relation of the fund to the disbursements, which in substance means determining whether or not the fund is adequate. Further than this, it enables one to compare the amount of the disbursements month by month. If they run at about the same amount each month and then suddenly rise, the fact is brought to the attention immediately by looking at the account. Where there is a summary and the operation of the petty cash account can be seen, a historical record of the transactions is afforded. This record is sometimes convenient since it shows how much time usually elapses between the preparation of the voucher and the re-imbursement for same. This is specially true in the case of branch offices where the petty cashier is at some distance from the general office. The record shows that the voucher was received on a certain date and that the re-imbursement check was issued on a certain subsequent date. The auditor who is having his experience of counting petty cash for the first time will undoubtedly appreciate the advantages of the fixed petty cash fund. Where the other method is in use he will be obliged to get a transcript of all the petty cash...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of Auditing: A Practical Manual for Students and Practitioners The subject of auditing is so vast, that the standard works, of necessity, are somewhat lengthy and cumbersome books, and a considerable part of the matter contained therein is intended for practitioners only. This book has been written primarily for students, with the object of providing a book of convenient size, and at a reasonable cost, that will deal with all the general principles that govern every audit; and so form a stepping-stone to the larger works. I have endeavoured to cover the whole of the groundwork with which every student of auditing must be familiar and to explain the principles and reasons underlying each subject dealt with. On the other hand, owing to lack of space, I have omitted specialised subjects, such as the different classes of audits and investigations; for if all these were included, the whole book would have had to be condensed so considerably, that it would have been impossible adequately to discuss the important root principles that apply to every audit. For the same reason all the various Acts of Parliament to which auditors have at times to refer, have been omitted, but the sections of the Companies (Consolidation) Act, 1908, with which every auditor must be familiar, have been included. The appendix contains one hundred examination questions, which run in order with the text of the book, and it is thought that these will prove of value to students for the purpose of testing their knowledge with a view to preparing for examinations.
