Poorly Presented.......2006-04-25
This book is poorly written. There does not appear to be any presentational logic used. The same topic will be brushed upon on one page, dealt with in a more in depth fashion on another, and then brought up again later. Important points are often difficult to ascertain, obscured as they often are by more irrelevant text. ALso, different modes of presentation, such as list fashion displays of audit techniques, or other means such as various,"blue" sections, makes it difficult to study this text in a systematic manner. Then there are the review questions, which professors love to assign as weekly homework. THey are often made up of 10 part answers. A little thought about how students actually learn, rather than using a convenient presentational method based on how lazy tenured professors like to teach (or write) could make this book more useful. As it is, most of my knowledge of these topics will be gained through CPA exam reviews. SInce CPA reviews depend on the preferences of people who actually use them, I do not doubt they will be much better. PS: down with tenure.
Very difficult to follow for first-time auditing students.......2006-04-25
This book is very confusing for beginning auditing students. This is my first auditing course and I'm having a difficult time completing the homework because I don't understand what is being asked of me. If I had previous auditing experience it might make a little more sense, but it seems like the author is repeating a lot of stuff over and over in the first few chapters without really explaining what you're supposed to be doing. It all seems very abstract, which makes it difficult to apply what you're learning to the homework. If you're looking for an indtroductory book to auditing, I would not recommend this one.
5e might be different from past editions-reviews from others.......2005-05-07
This review is based on the 5th edition. I have used this book for ongoing reference in doing Sarbanes Oxley compliance projects. I have found it to be very solid, and includes coverage that is very much attuned to the environment we are under today in terms of complying with SOX. Highly recommended.
A Bargain at Thrice the Price.......1999-04-06
As a connoiseur of auditing texts, I found Rittenberg and Schweiger's work to be pure genius. The authors' use of real-world examples and well-placed and helpful exhibits, interspersed with the occasional comfortable aside, make this a work not to be missed. Well done, Dr. Rittenberg. Well done, Dr. Schweiger. Well done, indeed.
Poor Excuse for a Book.......1999-03-24
Auditing: Concepts for a Changing Environment, is not only poorly written but it lacks in-depth, real life situations which makes up the auditing profession. Not only are the chapter questions mediocre at best, but after the first five chapters everything else is a review. I would advice no one to buy this book, not even the biggest accounting nerds.

Great Help.......2006-05-31
I used both the review books and the CD rom with practice exams and passed the first time!
BISK BEC Book and Software .......2005-11-04
I have serious issues with the quality of the BEC Review by Bisk. I have successfully used all four sections of Bisk's review, but I want to warn potential purchasers of the lack of quality in this volume. Sure, the BEC section is "new", but the editing was terrible on both the book and the software, simple mistakes as mentioned by the other posts. For the amount of money review materials cost - it should be mistake free. THE REAL PROBLEM THOUGH, is the lack of information in the IT section. They use AICPA developed questions for their practice sections, but fail to discuss nearly half of the answers in the text. I read the chapter two times before taking the practice questions, and had NO IDEA where some of the q's were getting pulled from. On the software, it has a link that says "click here for in depth solution." This takes you to the text where the answer is supposed to be found, many times, it was not there. Often times, impossible to infer the answer from the text as well. I would not waste money on Bisk's BEC section.
Better CPA review than most!!.......2004-07-27
For the money, Bisk is hard to beat. The strongest part of the Bisk review, in my opinion, are the Audio CD's. They don't just read from the book, like some audio CD's. They actually engage you in a friendly, often humorous, manner. This really helped me to remember key concepts. I believe Bisk has the best examples in their books of all the providers. Except maybe for Becker...but you can't buy Becker books without buying their WHOLE program. And you can buy these books dirt cheap on Amazon. Like any review program, it is only good if you use it. And if you don't put the time and effort into it, it won't work. I also take issue with the other reviews on the BEC book. I think Bisk has done a great job with the BEC section.
Errors galore.......2004-07-08
Yes, this book was very poorly edited. All the new parts such as Economics have incorrect answers in the back. Very distracting when you're trying to hunker down and study. There's one part where the answer key actually says 3 + 4 = 5 . Which, if you were just glancing over the answers, would really throw you for a loop. But on a positive note, i passed the BEC section with an 82.
Some mistakes in multiple-choice results.......2003-12-20
Some mistakes in multiple-choice results. This book really needs to be corrected. Also they don't send free stimulation CD as they promised when we buy this book.
Book Description
The new computerized CPA exam became effective in 2004. Focus Notes provides a review of all the basic skills and concepts tests on the CPA exam and teaches important strategies to take the exam faster and more accurately. The Business Environment section of the exam will cover knowledge of the general business environment and business concepts underlying transactions to demonstrate an understanding of the accounting implications. Candidates will be required to demonstrate knowledge of business structure, economic concepts, financial management, information technology, and planning and measurement. Wiley Focus Notes are designed to provide that knowledge in formats that are easy to understand and remember.

Highly Recommended.......2004-07-27
These focus notes are a wonderful tool. There are two major reasons why I suggest buying them.
1) It will save you from writing your own flashcards (which would take a whole lot of hours to do (probably many many days)
2) It beats flashcards. I have purchased flashcards before, and the Focus Notes are much better. You tend to get flash cards out of order...or you may lose some of them. The flashcards I bought did not have many examples, just definitions. The focus notes have definitions and examples.
The only caveat. If you are using Becker, I'd buy their flashcards, because they are geared towards their materials. And their materials are excellent, even though expensive. Probably worth it if you have the money.
The Focus Notes correspond to modules in the Wiley Books. However I am using them with Bisk. I just found the chapters in my Bisk books that correspond to the pages in the Focus Notes. It took a few hours to do this, but it wasn't a big deal. Hope this review helps other CPA candidates.

Good Book for the money.......2005-02-10
Compared to the other CPA exam books I've tried (Bisk, Becker, MicroMash), this book is pretty good for the money. Some of the topics they discussed in this book (i.e. the chapter on economics and cost management) definitely requires you to have some exposure to these areas. If you graduated with only an accounting degree and were not exposed to these areas, you may have a difficult time understanding this. Also, as I was going through the practice questions, I found a few errors in the answers. My recommendation would be that for the money, I would go with the books published by Bisk.

You would be better off getting Wiley CPA exam review booklet.......2007-04-29
I was very unhappy with this workbook compared to the Wiley workbook. Took the exam twice with Kaplan and failed. The review material is extremely extensive and quite boring with little practical examples. I also purchased the flashcards...don't waste your money. I would definitely recommend their other flashcards for the other three exams but not these. If you really want to be the best prepared for the BEC section of the exam I would recommend Wiley CPA review and the Wiley focus notes. I have taken this exam 3 times thanks to Kaplan. I finally was prepared enough when I dumped my Kaplan materials and switched to Wiley. They had easy ways of remembering the concepts and formulas. Maybe because it is a new section and all the review courses are trying to guess what kind of material is actually going to be tested well Kaplan needs to definitely rework their material and definitely their flashcards.
I purchased the Regulations and Business and Environments cd's to listen to in my car and at the gym. I initally purchased it thinking it was going to be similar to the Joe Hoyle audio cd's but to my extreme disappointment they were recorded by someone else. The sound quality was very poor and I felt they could have included better coverage of the key topics.
