description This study sets out to investigate the relationship between the stated and inherent auditing course objectives of selected South African universities. The need for congruence between the two is assumed. Stated auditing course objectives were established by means of a survey questionnaire to 17 South African universities.

In addition, auditing practitioners were surveyed to establish what they considered desirable auditing course objectives at South African universities.
