The new features include: revisions to make this edition wholly compliant with the British adoption of international accounting and auditing standards in 2005; changes in the regulatory environment, including developments in corporate governance and the new system of regulation of the accounting profession; and, a chapter on e-commerce and its implications for control and audit.
