The fact that you are reading the back of this SKYBLUE BOOK means you are well on your way to discovering how CLOUD computing has impacted business in the 21st century. The Wall Street Journal has reported that the sale of CLOUD technologies is increasing astronomically, revenue reaching $175 billion in 2015 and investment expected to exceed $1 trillion by 2020. Businesses and government agencies are increasingly moving their information assets to the CLOUD ecosystem, as CLOUD services are more robust, economical, cost effective, and agile than traditional data centers.

However, this shift to a new computing paradigm demands a change in the financial statement auditor’s mindset. Because business transactions and financial controls no longer exist in traditional paper-based environments and because significant segments of business operations are outsourced to third-party service providers, it is challenging to conduct financial statement auditing in the CLOUD ecosystem. The agile, complex, and distributed nature of CLOUD technology exacerbates auditors’ challenges.

Imagine being a financial statement auditor engaged to audit a client who has outsourced its online sales, benefits management, payroll, data warehousing, direct payroll, and tax deposits to third-party CLOUD service providers.

Imagine being an accounting professor with textbooks that barely cover CLOUD auditing. You find yourself constrained by resources that are not designed for the 21st-century business environment.

Imagine being an accounting student and paying hundreds of dollars for accounting materials that cover little, if any, information about auditing financial transactions in the CLOUD. Consider also that the smartphone you use for course registration, online purchases, tax filing, and online banking are all connected to computer systems in the CLOUD. When you venture into the business world, you will be faced with the challenge of auditing these and many other automated business processes.

Imagine being a chief financial officer who oversees the internal audit of your company’s e-commerce transactions, electronic tax filings, and online banking, all of which have been outsourced to multiple CLOUD providers and financial institutions.

This SKYBLUE BOOK – the first of a three-volume series – will inform your understanding of the dynamic and agile nature of CLOUD technologies and will teach you how to navigate the nuances involved with auditing financial statements in the CLOUD. The book provides the knowledge and hands-on training needed to navigate the nuances involved with auditing in the CLOUD ecosystem and includes topics such as “Constructing Accounting Cycles in the CLOUD,” “Testing Segregation of Duties in the CLOUD,” “Constructing Transaction Cycles in the CLOUD,” “Continuous Auditing in the CLOUD,” and much more.

Whether you are fresh out of college with a degree in accounting, an auditor in public or private practice, a tenured accounting professor, a chief financial officer, or an accounting manager of a government agency, you will find the SKYBLUE BOOK series an invaluable tool in your daily work.

Hallelujah… finally, I found the right pillow!!!
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I have spent a lot of money searching for the right pillow. I recently tried to Tempur-pedic that cost twice with this pillow cost. Tempur-pedic flattened out. I’ve had this pill for a few weeks now and it works wonders. I am a paraplegic. You can have a lot of neck problems. I love the fact that this pillow is adjustable. I immediately saw it was too stuffy and took a bunch out. It works perfect so glad I didn’t spend money on a $200 purple pillow. I read a lot of reviews and there were a lot of complaints about the odor. Mine did smell funny when it came out of the box. I immediately threw it in the dryer with a few bounce fabric sheets came out smelling fine. Pillows are a very individual thing, but I think for 40 bucks this pillow is worth a try. I’m really enjoying mine about one of those silk pillowcases to go over it and it sleeps cool and comfortable. Best wishes in your search for the right pillow. Update: I’ve been using this pillow several months and it continues. Give me a good night rest pain-free.. well worth the money. UPDATE: I have been using this pillow for three months and it still works great. It does not flat out or get hot..

Soft comfortable very good pillow
Size: King (Pack of 1), Color: White
I really love my new pillow it's great and comfortable. Yes, it has a little smell, but if you wash the pillowcase and put the pillow on the window for a day you won't notice anything anymore.

Best place for head
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
Do you love not getting sleep and sweating all over your pillow at night when you are asleep? If so then don't buy this pillow! If you want a good nights sleep and cool pillow like me this is the one. Ive always been ehh towards spending so much on a pillow but its 100% worth it, I sleep so much better and it forms to my head and keeps me cool at night. Great support even for my big head and comes with a bag of extra stuffing if you want to have a little more firmer pillow. Highly recommend

Oversized
Size: Queen (Pack of 2), Color: White
I have chronic neck pain. I am forever buying new pillows. Sometimes I think I found the perfect pillow but then three months later they’re losing their loft. I thought I would give these pillows to try since the stuffing is removable. Now these pillows are really oversized. To the point where I thought that they had sent me king-size pillows but I double checked the packaging and they were Queen. I ended up having to buy king-size pillowcases for them because they just barely fit in the queen size and the pillowcases would always end up pulling back from the edge. So that’s a negative one star there. Now I’ve been sleeping on these pillows for a while and they have held up well. I did end up removing some of the stuffing because it was just too much. I’m a side sleeper and when I use this pillow, it does a good job of keeping my neck in alignment. However, the pillow tends to migrate up as I sleep. Or I tend to slip down off the pillow, either or. So that’s why I’ve removed a second star. Maybe if I removed more stuffing that wouldn’t happen, but then I feel like the loft would be too little. I will say that these provide great support when sitting up in bed reading or watching TV. So would I buy them again? Probably not. Am I going to keep using them? Yes

Best Pillow Ever

I am absolutely obsessed with these pillows! They have the perfect balance of firmness and softness, providing amazing support for my head and neck. I've never slept better, and I can honestly say I'd order more in a heartbeat. These pillows are a game-changer for my sleep quality. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the ultimate comfort.
