The purpose of this paper is to describe one use of microcomputers (IBM PCs) in auditing education at the university level. Three distinct objectives are accomplished. They are: (1) exposure to the microcomputer; (2) aid in accomplishing traditional learning objectives; and (3) as a vehicle for teaching control evaluation. This paper describes in detail how these objectives are accomplished. Advantages and problem areas are also described.First, students become comfortable with the microcomputer and a variety of software products. Use is structured in a way that students actually realize the benefit of computer oriented approaches to problem solving.Second, the computer is used as an aid to accomplish traditional learning objectives. For example, concentrating on the significance and meaning of the results of a statistical evaluation, rather than mechanics. As an aid, the microcomputer allows us to move from conceptual treatments and simplified example of topics such as analytical review to realistic exam...
