TENTH EDITION

JACKSON AND STENT

, PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION

This tenth edition of the book has been compiled specifically to assist students at tertiary institutions in South Africa
with their studies in auditing. The book is not designed to be used on its own and will work best when used in
conjunction with the Companies Act 2008 and its Regulations 2011, the International Standards on Auditing and the
(SAICA) Code of Professional Conduct as well as the King IV Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa.
Extensive reference is made to these and other pronouncements.

The major changes to the ninth edition are that Chapter 4 – Corporate Governance has been completely re-written to
accommodate the publication of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa 2016 and that
Chapter 18 – The Audit Report has also been completely re-written to accommodate the revision of a number of
reporting statements and the issue of entirely new reporting statement ISA 701 – Communicating Key Audit Matters
in the Independent Auditor’s Report (effective for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after
15 December 2016.

Chapter 15 – Going Concern has also been revised to accommodate important changes in ISA 570 (Revised) – Going
Concern which is also relevant for audits of financial statements for periods ending on or after 15 December 2016.

Changes have also been made to a number of chapters to accommodate the “conforming amendments” arising out of
the Disclosures project and the Auditor Reporting project. Perhaps the most far reaching of the conforming
amendments, besides the increased emphasis on disclosure, are the changes to the definition/description of the
financial statement assertions. Formally divided into three categories, they are now presented in two categories with the
former “presentation and disclosure” assertions being merged into the transaction and events, and account balance
assertions.

Our intention has been to ‘simplify’ what has proved to be a difficult subject for many generations of auditing
students. We hope that we have achieved this. Any comments or suggestions to improve subsequent editions would
be most welcome, especially from students who use the book.
