CPA's Guide to Effective Engagement Letters (Sixth Edition)

Product Description

CPA's Guide to Effective Engagement Letters: Implementing Successful Loss Prevention Practices provides the information needed to compose effective engagement letters. It is designed as a practical, hands-on tool that can sit on the auditor's desk for easy access. The book is composed primarily of annotated parts of an engagement letter, which can be pieced together to create an entire engagement letter, and actual letters the CPA can use for his or her own purposes. The free companion CD-ROM that accompanies CPA's Guide to Effective Engagement Letters contains these same valuable paragraphs and letters, plus case studies illustrating the dos and don'ts of engagement letter use. The book is made up of eight sections: - Financial Statements - Tax Preparation and Planning - General Accounting - Other Engagements - Other Letters - Internal Controls - Record Retention and Destruction Policy - Disengaging The book is formatted so that the left-hand column offers suggested wording about a specific subject; the right-hand column contains comments that are relevant to the subject matter and offers important advice. The sample letters and material contained in this book have been actually used by CPAs. The book was compiled and edited with resources from CAMICO Services, Inc., a subsidiary of CAMICO Mutual Insurance Company. A free companion CD-ROM is included with the book and provides electronic versions of all of the suggested wording and all of the letters. The CD also has a folder containing case studies (which are on the CD only and do not appear in the printed book).

Book Description

Jesuits established a large number of astronomical, geophysical and meteorological observatories during the 17th and 18th centuries and again during the 19th and 20th centuries throughout the world. The history of these observatories has never been published in a complete form. Many early European astronomical observatories were established in Jesuit colleges. During the 17th and 18th centuries Jesuits were the first western scientists to enter into contact with China and India. It was through them that western astronomy was first introduced in these countries. They made early astronomical observations in India and China and they directed for 150 years the Imperial Observatory of Beijing. In the 19th and 20th centuries a new set of observatories were established. Besides astronomy these now included meteorology and geophysics. Jesuits established some of the earliest observatories in Africa, South America and the Far East. Jesuit observatories constitute an often forgotten chapter of the history of these sciences.

Parasitology can be fun.......2001-07-30

Parasitology is by a lot of scientists and doctors in the western world considered to be an outpost, an area where you are going to work if you are not too serious about your career. Moreover, all those parasites have completely outlandish names which you could mostly not remember, even if your life depended on it.

Apart from the fact that parasites are really important pathogens in developing countries, they are also coming more and more to the western world as well, with increased travel and worldwide business, so a good reason to know more about them.

The stories in the books from Mr. Desowitz show that parasites are not only an interesting study objects, but that you can write very funny stories about them as well. This is probably one of the best books to get people interested in parasites, namely wrting stories which you can remember (and tell people on birthday parties) even when you are not an accomplished parasitologist.

Anecdotal Discussion of Parasitology.......1998-07-30

This is a quick read understandable to anyone who has taken college biology. Desowitz's presentation is primarily anecdotal this makes for quick reading, but also whets the appetite for more information. I recommend "Yellow Fever, Black Goddess : The Coevolution of People and Plagues" by Chrisopher Wills for a more in-depth and contemporary discussion of mosquito-borne parasites and the evolution of disease.

excellent. highly readable, required reading for pre-meds!.......1996-10-30

Highly readable! An engaging look into the secret world of parasites and our changing world. This will amaze and startle those who fell asleep in biology class

LP's Hong Kong Condensed is Highly Recommended.......2004-03-21

My wife and I spent one week in Hong Kong during March, 2004. We found the 2nd edition (published March, 2003) Lonely Planet Hong Kong Condense pocket guide to be a great reference source.

Because the guide is pocket-sized, it fit conveniently in my jacket and looked inconspicuous when I carried it in my hand. I found the fold-out maps on the covers to be handy and easy to use when I navigated the streets of Kowloon and HK Island.

The guide is well organized and broken into categories such as "Highlights," "Sights and Activities" in addition to the obvious ones such as "Shopping, "Places to Eat," and "Places to Stay."

We found the places to visit recommended under "Highlights" and "Sight & Activities" to be worthwhile. For instance, our son, who is spending his junior year of college studying at the University of Hong Kong, suggested we visit two obscure sights: the Chi Lin Nunnery (which has a beautiful Japanese-style garden) and the Wong Tai Sin Temple (a large colorful Taoist temple and garden bustling with activity). Both sites were listed in the guide.

The huge shopping malls such as Pacific Place (on HK island in Admiralty) and Harbour City (in Tsim Sha Tsui) were fun to wlak through.

If I had a single complaint, it would be that some of the recommended restaurants under "Places to Eat" were duds [such as Luk Yu Tea House (past its prime and overrated) in Central and Peking Restaurant(overrated) in Tsim Sha Tsui]. In other words, take the recommended eating establishments with a grain of salt. On the other hand, some of the eateries such as the "Happy Garden Noodle & Congee Kitchen" (located across from the Harbour City shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui) and "Yung Kee" (a famous roast geese restauant located in Central)were great. It should be noted that restaurant meals are quite expensive in Hong Kong. My wife and I found the food courts in shopping centers (where the locals dine) to be good places for inexpensive and delicious Chinese food).

A great all-round guide to HK. And it fits in your pocket!.......2002-10-25

The Lonley Planet condensed guide to Hong Kong jumped off the shelf at me as it was bright pink. The colour isn't the only hot thing about it, let me tell you! For a small guide, this product really packs all of the relevant information in to its 128 pages starting with important facts about Hong Kong from history, orientation, environment, culture and society to arts, economy and climate! The text isn't the largest I have ever seen, but this guide is very easy to read, and fits easily in to your top pocket, thus making it the ideal companion for long day trips on foot. Obviously, it is advisable to read from a selection of guide books, but this one is the perfect size to take along with you on the day.

A whistle-stop tour of the highlights of Hong Kong proved particularly interesting and useful to me as I could simply mark off each landmark in order and visit accordingly when I was in Hong Kong. Unlike some other guides, there are also sufficient photographs to help you recognise all the most important landmarks and to give you a bit of insight in to the city before you arrive.

I particularly liked the colour-coded sections for sights & activities, Out and about, Shopping, Places to Eat, Entertainment, Places to Stay and Facts for the visitor. This provided comprehensive information on a variety of activities, sights, tours, restaurants, markets, bars and hotels which were both up to date and objectively remarked upon. Although the guide cannot go in to detail and include every place of interest in Hong Kong, the top places were mentioned, hints and tips given as to where not to miss and a good range of places were written about to accommodate any budget or any interest.

As is always useful in a large, non- western city, good directions are important, and the Lonely Planet condensed guide book certainly provided this. Tram, bus and MRT information was provided for all of the attractions in the guide as well as detailed road and street maps for Central, Causeway Bay, Kowloon, Wan Chai and other parts of Hong Kong Island and the outer lying territories.

Interesting and funny anecdotes also make an interesting read, both preparing the visitor for what you will see and providing a cultural insight in to the more unusual side of life in Hong Kong. I particularly enjoyed the extra information about eating out in Hong Kong - from tea drinking to dim sum culture, vegetarian life in Hong Kong (or lack of it!) and where to eat late at night!

The hotel listings are perhaps the least well covered in this small but sweet offering from Lonely Planet, but there is still a decent enough selection of lodgings from cheap to super delux to suit any budget. Obviously, the reason that the accommodation section is not as comprehensive as other guides is that it focuses more on the real, day to day Hong Kong - emphasising the fact that this is a great guide to keep with you at all times as it is easy to carry and a really useful companion.

Lastly, the travellers facts combine all of the must-know information at the back of the book in an easy look-up section. Getting to and from the airport, travelling in the city, health and safety information, events, public holidays, brief vocabulary section and conversion tables mean that if you are staying for 24 hours or a week, you will have sufficient help to enjoy everything that Hong Kong has to offer. This book really was the best one that I found!!

Well worth the money!

The Humor is Incredible!.......2000-08-11

Like all the China Tate books, it has an amazing humor! I find myself quoting several of the lines, 'cause I can't get over how funny they are! Look for the scene when B.T. tries to ride a horse. It's hilarious! The trials and tribulations that go on through this book are tense, but not so much so you have to stop reading. The plot is fun, the story is great and the moral is one to stick in your mind.

I love this book alot it is very real and adventureous........1997-09-28

I love the China Tate series. They are so fun it makes you feel like you are a character in the book. It's just spilling out with adventure and it is very detailed. I especially love "Wishing Upon a Star." China so much wants to be a star like her friend. I don't want to tell you too much so I don't spoil it for you so why don't you pick it up and start reading!

I have yet to read this book, however I was lucky enough to meet Mrs. Hoekstra. The strength and courage she has, should be a lesson to all.

Wishing Upon a Star.......2003-02-09

the book engages the reader and draws them into the writers world.
The subject matter of the holocaust is difficult and threatening
but the book is full of hope and strength and a will to survive to see what the next day brings.
The book is a fast read and a personal glimpse into a young womans mind as she is caught up in the horror of the persecution of the Jews.
