The Big R: An Internal Auditing Action Adventure

by John O'Shaughnessy

Risk. It's a factor calculated into all big-time sports operations. But baseball was completely unprepared for the risk of major league murder in the stands. Fleet Walker, internal auditor for the New York Yankees and the protagonist of The Big R, leads the reader through the fundamentals of internal auditing, while using his accounting skills and knowledge of baseball history to track a serial killer who is threatening the national pastime.

Using the form of a novel to stimulate interest, The Big R is designed to supplement an auditing, internal auditing, or graduate investment course. Readers will enjoy the suspense of this psychological thriller that integrates the foundations of internal auditing and brings these applications to life. Authors Crumbley, Ziegenfuss, and O'Shaughnessy mix engaging storytelling with factual and practical information to create a resource guide that is both entertaining and informative.
