They find that consumer tweets about product or brand interest increase the prediction and error detection ability of analytical procedures compared to analytical procedures that do not include it. These results suggest that this new source of external nonfinancial information is incrementally informative to auditors in developing assessments for the risk of misstated revenue in the planning stage of the audit. The findings of this study have important implications that may be relevant to the audits of other financial statement accounts.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42879736","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}

When auditors issue an unqualified ICFR opinion and rely on traditional statistical sampling, jurors assess the auditors as more negligent than when the auditors use ADAs. Conversely, when auditors issue an adverse ICFR opinion, jurors ascribe less blame to auditors and more to investor plaintiffs regardless of whether the auditors use ADAs. Further, jurors perceive auditors as less negligent when they use ADAs for full population testing because they perceive ADAs to be an indicator of higher audit quality. Interestingly, jurors perceive no difference in the level of assurance provided by the audit opinion alone when auditors use ADAs relative to traditional sampling testing methods.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48096216","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}

With the current global and US efforts to develop new disclosure standards for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), a debate has emerged regarding expansion of the definition of materiality. An expanded definition would include not only financial materiality (i.e., how information affects an investor’s decision to buy or sell), but it would also include environmental and social materiality (i.e., how a company’s operations impact the climate, its employees, consumers, and society). This is referred to as “double materiality” (EU 2019). However, as discussed in this paper, the concept of materiality set forth in the US securities laws and court decisions are contrary to the concept of double materiality. This paper provides a brief history of materiality, expansion of the concept, and discusses audit issues and implications.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45364121","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}

Despite this investor orientation, there is little empirical evidence about investors’ materiality judgments, specific quantitative and qualitative factors underlying their judgments, and how their judgments compare to auditors who implement materiality in practice. This article summarizes a recent study by DeZoort, Holt, and Stanley (2019) that addresses this problem by modeling professional and nonprofessional investors’ materiality judgments in a policy-capturing study, using experienced auditors as a benchmark. Results indicate significant differences in materiality judgments, judgment consensus, and cue utilization among the three participant groups. Findings also reveal between-group differences in self-reported quantitative materiality thresholds, judgment self-insight, as well as judgment confidence. We conclude the article with a discussion of the practical implications surrounding these findings.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42805438","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 underlying assumption, stated more explicitly by activists and others, is that such voting can influence auditors’ subsequent actions. A recent study by Tanyi, Rama, Raghunandan, and Martin, (2020, TRRM), tests this assumption. Using data from 10,326 auditor ratification votes, TRRM (2020) find that higher than expected shareholder dissatisfaction of their external auditors is associated with higher audit quality and higher audit fees in the subsequent period. The results suggest that auditors should pro-actively engage with audit committees if there is higher than expected shareholder dissatisfaction. Auditors can also expect regulators to use such evidence in future rule proposals by the SEC and PCAOB, given past actions by regulators.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44433055","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}

However, little is known about how various stakeholder groups view data and analytics-based substantive procedures. Ballou, Grenier, and Reffett (2021) address this question by examining how three key audit stakeholder groups (investors, jurors, and AICPA peer reviewers) view two commonly employed data and analytics- based auditing techniques (population testing and predictive modeling). Our paper summarizes Ballou et al.’s (2021) study by summarizing its research questions, experimental method, and results.
