The underlying challenge is keeping the status of tangible assets aligned with their digital representations on a blockchain. In response, the summary focuses on the parties, technologies, and processes that make this task complex. The summary begins with an overview of how blockchain can be used to track tangible assets, then discusses four stages of tracking tangible assets with blockchain: (1) design and governance of a blockchain, (2) asset creation, (3) asset transfer, and (4) asset retirement. Based on the risks highlighted in these four stages, the summary presents a framework of risk considerations and control objectives that auditors can use to evaluate the extent to which a blockchain serves as a reliable repository for tracking tangible assets.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":"60 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138626526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Audits of companies frequently involve the participation of auditors (who audit components of clients) other than the lead auditor that signs the audit report. In general, the work of these component auditors is assimilated in the lead auditor’s report. However, uniquely in the United States, the lead auditor sometimes formally divides responsibility with the component auditor and refers to the component auditor’s work in its audit report. These component auditors are “referred-to” auditors. Krishnan and Li (2023) examine factors associated with the use of referred-to auditors as well as the associations between the use of referred-to auditors and measures of audit quality and audit efficiency.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42302372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a novel dataset from Audit Analytics that summarizes reported audit committee activities, Bratten et al. (2022) create a composite measure that captures the strength of the audit committee’s oversight of the audit process. The study uses several measures to capture audit quality, including audit fees, discretionary accruals, and propensity to meet or just beat earnings benchmarks. The authors show that, when issuers’ audit committees report activities consistent with being more active in overseeing the external auditor, issuers, on average, have better audit quality.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42516955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that shareholders at accelerated filers with surprise MW disclosures are more likely to vote against auditor ratification (by a factor of about 1.4 times) than at companies with “no-surprise” MW disclosures. These findings suggest that shareholders may at least partly blame auditors and hold them responsible for the surprise MW disclosures. Internal control disclosures necessarily involve professional judgment, but the results indicate that for shareholders, earlier disclosure of such problems is preferable to waiting until the year-end (and perhaps hoping that the problems will be resolved).","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45289126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once the decision to assure is made, a company must choose an assurance provider, but should the company use the same firm as its financial statement auditor or a different assurance provider? Lu, Simnett, and Zhou (2023) find that perceived independence concerns deter companies from choosing the same provider, while a provider’s assurance expertise and higher levels of information integration between the financial statements and the extended external report both increase the likelihood of using the same provider. Companies using the same provider for both services benefit from higher financial statement audit quality without paying significantly higher audit fees. The findings of this research are useful for companies in deciding whether to employ their financial statement audit firm to also provide assurance of extended external reports. The findings also have implications for auditors and standard-setters/regulators.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43926317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed auditing standard describes principles-based requirements that apply to paper-based and electronic confirmations, improves integration with risk assessment standards, requires confirmation for cash held by third parties, and carries over existing requirements regarding confirming accounts receivable. Further, it considers additional audit procedures when using negative confirmation requests and clarifies certain activities where the auditor should not use an internal auditor to provide direct assistance. The proposed standard is important, as the audit confirmation process touches nearly every audit. The comment period ended on February 20, 2023. This commentary summarizes the participating members’ views on the questions posed by the PCAOB.\u0000 Data Availability: Proposed Auditing Standard—The Auditor’s Use of Confirmation, and Other Proposed Amendments to PCAOB Standards, including questions for respondents, is available at PCAOB Proposes New Standard for the Auditor’s Use of Confirmation | PCAOB (https://pcaobus.org/).","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45839353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
