The opening paragraph stated: The extent of the verification will be determined by the conditions in each concern. In some cases, the auditor may find it necessary to verify a substantial portion or all of the transactions recorded upon the books. In others, where the system of internal check is good, tests only may suffice. The responsibility for the extent of the work required must be assumed by the auditor.

There's no date, but this booklet mentions how to change the ribbon on the
Corona Four. In a quick search on the web, I saw the typewriter pictured on
the cover as being from around 1928.
The booklet is in excellent condition. The original retailer's name is stamped
on the front and back: Service Typewriter Exchange, Holyke, Mass.
I'd guess the booklet came with one of the typewriters pictured and if you own
one of these typewriters without the book, then you'll need to get this.

"Any man will sign a note for a thousand dollars if a revolver is held against his head... The law, however, will not hold him for the payment of the note, on the ground that it was signed under duress. A man convinced by the sheer force of logic is likely to avoid the very action which would seem to be the only natural result of the conviction thus secured. This situation is expressed by the familiar proverb, "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." -from ChapterII "An Analysis of Deliberation". Explores the business applications of psychology: getting employees to work smarter &your customers to buy more, this is an early guide to the science of selling ideas and products, by a pioneer in the psychology of advertising. Explores the unexpected power of suggestion, use in advertising with 15 illustrated examples.... How do people reach decisions? How can you make that info work for you. Far ahead of its time, this is still a great resource.

"Westerly Business College & School of Shorthand and Typewriting"
pamphlet. Wells Building Broad Street George LaMunyon Principal
There's an attribution on the cover to Ames & Rollinson Co. NY - presumably
the publisher. I could not find a date. It's probably from the early 1900s.
The glassine cover page is still on it, though it's obviously in rough
condition. But it's been there all this time, I'm not going to be the
one to remove it. And yes, that is a mouse chew in the lower left of the
book. Many of the pages are dog-eared. At one time the book had been folded
in half. I can imagine the eager young enrollee with this booklet in folded
in his back pocket imagining his or her future career. The typewriter
on the front cover is a Remington. Photos include the College Building
- the third of floor of a commercial brick building with at least 3 store
fronts, no readable signs, but one's a barber shop, and there's a bicycle
parked out front. The literature indicates it's their 8th year affiliated
with Westerly Business College. Also inside is a photo of George Lamunyon,
B.S., M. Accts., Principal, a photo of the study room and a group of students,
the typerwriting room, tlegraph room.
24 pages. 6" x 8 3/4"
But
the highlight of the pamphlet is the back cover is this wonderful 'calligraphy'
illustration of a bird.
Below the bird the text offers employers "free of charge" -
competent office help. It's not clear to me if they are offering students
free of charge or just the match making service free, but in either case,
I suspect its too late to take them up on the offer.

Home Manuals (an early predecessor to the Idiot's Guide series???)
438 pp
6" x 8 1/2"
Has a nice graphic cover. Binding is a little weak in the front. Otherwise
looks to be clean for its age.

Part 1: Fundamental Principles of Household Finance
Part 2: Factors in the Family Budget - Necessities
Part 3: Factors in the Family Budget - Higher Life
Part 4: Legal & Business Status of the Family
From an economic & sociological stand point it probably gives a good idea of what it was like living in the early part of the 20th century
