Review

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

`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.' LSE Magazine

`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.' Lois Quam, BMJ Volume 316, 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.' Christopher Hood. Journal of Public Policy. 18/1/1998.

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

`Michael Power's description and analysis of the rise of the risk management movement is striking and impressive. Arising worldwide, in the current neo-liberal period, the movement demands great managerial expansion. Organizations everywhere are now to track and manage all sorts of uncertainties - external, internal and in their own operations - as risks to be calculated. Most innovatively, Power shows that the core cultural pressures are less to reduce risks than to demonstrate accountability for them. Thus the reputable organization, as an effective actor, must show that it has proper risk management processes, not that these reduce risks.' John Meyer, Professor of Sociology, Stanford University
