      abstract = {Most university undergraduate and graduate audit classes  are geared towards educating prospective auditors but do  not provide education for those who will be audit clients  and subjected to audits. Future audit clients need to be  educated as well as future auditors to ensure that there is  a level playing field. Those being audited do not receive  the same level of formal education as internal auditors  most client education occurs during the audit itself. The  client, once subjected to an audit and faced with the  consequences of a failed audit, will learn via trial and  error. If left unprepared, managers can suffer financial  losses and promotional setbacks; the preparation and  education that is needed to be audit ready is lacking. Of  interest to accounting, finance or business students and  entry-level practitioners, this book provides the audit  education and preparation that has been missing. It shows  how to interface with auditors, helping to identify issues,  exposures and risks, and adequately position current and  future managers to achieve successful audits. The book also  provides mock audit simulation exercises to further prepare  prospective audit clients. Ed Danter retired after nearly  42 years with IBM developing, maintaining, and evaluating  systems as a member of their corporate audit staff and  business controls organizations involved with Sarbanes  Oxley and SAS70 audits, with extensive teaching of  application systems control and auditability. After leaving  IBM, he worked as an adjunct professor at Kean University,  USA teaching classes on Auditing Information Systems and  Auditing Financial Statements. He currently has his own  company, IAE (Internal Audit Education) where he offers  education to management and executives to prepare them to  be "audit ready," avoiding the illusion of control.},
