Download or read book Audit Education written by Karen Van Peursem and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audit professionals are valued members of society and are expected to be both skilled and ethical in their decision-making. The role of the auditor extends far beyond that of counting beans by demanding a social and political awareness, a technical knowledge, ethical principles and relationship skills. In addition, due to the team-oriented nature of the audit approach, auditors require strong team-building and interpersonal skills. This book offers expert descriptions of, and insights into, how such skills and responsibilities can be inculcated in tertiary education and professional training environments. Unlike other books which focus on auditing as a technical process, this volume examines auditing from a teaching and learning perspective. Expert contributors provide authoritative insights into an audit education which is embedded in accounting practice. The book’s descriptions of these insights into improving education for future audit professionals may allow the introduction of new and challenging fields of enquiry. Audit Education will be of great interest to educators in tertiary institutions, trainers in professional firms, and key individuals in accounting professional bodies seeking to ensure their members possess acceptable levels of attainment for admission and continued membership. This book was originally published as a special issue of Accounting Education: an international journal.

Download or read book The Secondary Whole school Audit written by Brian Drakeford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998. The Education Reform Act of 1988 introduced into schools in England and Wales a range of major reforms, including the National Curriculum, the transfer of certain key powers and responsibilities from LEAs to schools and new and altogether more comprehensive procedures for the monitoring of school performance.

The Secondary Whole-School Audit has been produced in response to OFSTED's explicit inspection criteria which provide schools in England and Wales, for the first time in their history, with clear direction and standards against which they can continuously judge current strengths and weaknesses and review developmental targets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2011 Transformation Audit presents a collection of articles by South African thought leaders, which asks how the country can set goals and achieve them in a hostile global climate that threatens developmental gains that have been painstakingly achieved.

Download or read book Medical Audit written by Prakash Anjan and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality of medical care denotes the degree of excellence of the care delivered. Evaluation of quality of care involves two basic concepts, firstly the quality of technical care, i.e. adequacy of structure and procedure including diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and secondly the quality of the art of care, relating to the manner in which the care is provided and perceived by the consumers. Quality of medical care can be assessed to a large extent by the analysis of medical records and this is what is meant by Medical Audit. Medical Audit is a very important regulatory mechanism which aims to raise the quality of medical care through an in-built system of peer review of professional work of the hospital by an in house committee of the medical staff. Medical Audit also helps in streamlining the procedures related to the provision of medical care by pinpointing the bottlenecks in diagnostic, therapeutic and other supportive services of the hospital. In brief, medical audit is beneficial for the patient, the medical staff and the hospital administration. In this book, an attempt has been made to provide comprehensive information about the complex issue of medical audit which would be educational for the medical staff and beneficial for the patients. It is sincerely hoped that medical audit will not only be useful but will prove to be a milestone in improving the quality of medical care services, provided, it is implemented in its true spirit.
