Audit in a democracy

the long version

"This book explores the role of public sector audit in emerging democracies and developing countries. It provides an account of the relationship between the public sector auditor, the legislature and executive government. In particular, it introduces public sector audit's capacity to assess government agencies' compliance with the law and their management of taxpayer or internationally funded programs and services." "This volume will be of use to researchers, academics and students interested in the critical issues surrounding audit in general and public sector audit, in particular. It will also be a valuable guide to practitioners in this area."--Jacket.
