The Board is considering revising its Quality Controls (QC) standards to focus firms on improving their QC systems. To reduce the compliance burden, the Board is considering aligning its QC standards with those of the proposed International Standard on Quality Management 1, Quality Management for Firms That Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements (proposed ISQM 1). The comment period ended March 16, 2020. This commentary summarizes the participating committee members' views on selected questions on three aspects of a QC system presented in the Concept Release: Resources (Questions 31, 32, 34, 36, 37), The Monitoring and Remediation Process (Questions 45, 46, 47), and Roles and Responsibilities of Individuals (Question 52).Data Availability: The Concept Release, Potential Approach to Revisions to PCAOB Quality Control Standards, including questions for respondents, is available at: https://pcaobus.org/Rulemaking/Docket046/2019-003-Quality-Control-Concept-Release.pdf.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41758865","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, finding suitable research settings to examine these policies has been a challenge. This paper reports the results of a study (Elder and Yebba 2020) that explores the consequences of implementing a retendering policy in a local governmental audit market. The study finds an association between periodic retendering and auditor concentration, including the growth of fee premium specialization within the market. We also find changes in quality associated with these mandates, including greater auditor effort, evidenced through higher audit fees and longer reporting delays, and improved documentation of internal controls evidenced through increased reporting of control deficiencies. Collectively, we provide evidence that periodic retendering of audit services may provide a suitable level of quality enhancement while not forcing auditees to absorb audit inefficiencies common with a rotation policy.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44356313","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 a pronounced increase in disciplinary orders issued during the latter years of the sample period is attributable to serious audit deficiencies and misconduct by triennially inspected audit firms, non-U.S. audit firms, and firms auditing brokers and dealers. We also find that more than two-thirds of the violations of PCAOB auditing standards described in these disciplinary orders pertain to failures in general audit principles and responsibilities, obtaining audit evidence, and review and communication. Finally, we find that the PCAOB levies punitive sanctions on an overwhelming majority of audit personnel and audit firms cited in these disciplinary orders. Overall, our results indicate that the PCAOB's enforcement function has actively disciplined audit personnel and audit firms that breached their professional obligations.\u0000 Data Availability: Publicly available.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42883999","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 analysis takes place in the context of audit risk analysis and planning.

Analysis via Excel Pivot Tables is fairly straightforward and allows students to easily get into the underlying audit planning questions. Use of cluster analysis via R is more difficult but provides students with an opportunity to think about cluster analysis when there is no underlying basis for discrete population splits or as a population stratification methodology. Student feedback from use of the R language approach was very positive with students indicating they had a better understanding of how to apply cluster analysis in an audit context","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43759916","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}

Our results, based on responses from 345 GNP participants, indicate several factors related to organizational characteristics, IAF characteristics, IAF responsibilities, and information technology (IT) tools and audit activities that are associated with IAF size. Specifically, we find IAF size is positively associated with: (1) mandated IAFs, (2) activity related to audits of general IT risks, (3) use of a rotational staffing model, (4) degree of fraud detection responsibility, (5) conduct of performance audits, (6) extent of sophisticated audit technologies, (7) organization size, (8) opportunity to receive a bonus, and (9) age of the IAF. IAF size is negatively related to (1) extent of access to records and property appropriate for the performance of audits, (2) nonprofit organizations, (3) healthcare institutions, and (4) educational institutions. Additional analysis reveals variation between large and small organizations.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46182343","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}

This could discourage innovation in auditing, since new and innovative procedures are not standard practice. A new stream of research examines a proposed change to legal rules that would protect auditors from being second-guessed, even when they make non-standard judgments, provided that they are made rigorously and in good faith. This proposed “Audit Judgment Rule” (“AJR”) could potentially improve audit quality by encouraging innovation. We review two studies that examine the effects of such an AJR on the judgments of audit committee members and auditors. Results of these studies suggest that an AJR may have unintended consequences, reducing audit innovation and audit quality. We discuss implications for implementing an AJR, including directions for future research.","PeriodicalId":44019,"journal":{"name":"Current Issues in Auditing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2308/ciia-52644","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42082688","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}
