Why is there so much auditing? Why are so many people in so many different fields being made formally accountable for what they do? Does it lead to greater effectiveness or accountability? This book is the first systematic exploration of audit as a principle of social organization and control. The author critically examines the reasons, means, and consequences of this audit explosion. He raises important questions about the efficacy of audit processes, suggests that the consequences of this must be evaluated, and contrasts these theories and practices of Trust.

Financial Times Review from previous edition The book appears just when we need it ... a valuable book.

LSE Magazine This splendid book tracks what has been happening to the auditing profession in the context of the recent 'managerial turn' ... This is a breath of fresh air.

Lois Quam, BMJ Volume 316, 1998 This book is valuable precisely because of the obscurity of its subject. Very little has been written about the purpose, context, or process of auditing. This book, therefore, fills a gap. I would recommend this book for managers and physicians interested in understanding and appraising more critically the role of audit in their ogranisations.

Christopher Hood. Journal of Public Policy. 18/1/1998. This is a book for the times. It will resonate instantly with hard-pressed UK public-sector professionals. It is wide-ranging and perceptive, showing the fruitfulness of Power's original training in critical philosophy combined with his later specialization in financial accounting. The book provides the most coherent challenge to the audit explosion that has been offered to date.

Rudolf Klein. University of Bath. 1998. ..subtle, stimulating and important book.
