| Tiivistelmä: | This paper attempts to examine the process by which audit scope, practices and communications about the work done are developed in the fields of assurance services. An in-depth study of KPMG's 'audit' of the Financial Times MBA rankings is made, and the audit project is argued to import legitimacy to data provided by International Business Schools as well as imbue a derived legitimacy to the Financial Times rankings. Audit planning, procedures and communicated written conclusions emerge as a much more negotiated and adaptive practice at an operational level than rhetoric might suggest. |
