ABSTRACT

Auditing is a long-established business discipline. It has certainly beenaround since long before I became involved in business management.Some have even argued that audits go back to the earliest recorded times, for example the device used by Gideon (Judges 7: 4-8) whereby he eliminated some of his army based upon the way that they drank from the river could be considered as an auditing technique followed by some decisive action.
