Auditor's Guide of 1869

<p>In 1869 H.J. Mettenheimer wrote the <i>Auditor’s Guide Being a Complete Exposition of Bookkeeper’s Frauds</i> – the first book about auditing from the earliest period of American accountancy. The sole remaining copy was found to have been destroyed leaving only a barely readable microfilmed photocopy. This book first published in 1988 presents a restored <i>Auditor’s Guide</i> finally available to historians of the early days of professional accountancy together with the authors’ analysis of this important text.</p>
