Reviews

'It can be seen from the foregoing that this book constitutes a wide-ranging selection of good quality and interesting papers on a topic area of ongoing concern. . . Peter Moizer's introduction is succinct, cogent and provides a compelling structure within which to consider the papers. A further particularly nice feature of the selection is, that by often including two papers in a specific area, the manner in which extensions of ideas and refinements in method are highlighted, and thus the reader is given a flavour of how papers in a given area have developed: one gains a sense of living literatures. . . readers are unlikely to be disappointed. . . this volume constitutes a nicely judged and good selection of papers in the area of governance and auditing that is a useful addition to the shelves of anyone with an interest in this area.'
