Although work division may benefit audit efficiency and effectiveness, prior research suggests potentially worse performance when auditors divide work with their colleagues. However, the underlying mechanisms driving these adverse effects are unclear. Likewise, it is unclear whether findings extend to settings where auditors divide work with technology instead of their colleagues. Using a 3 × 1 between-subjects experiment that uses accounting students as proxies for inexperienced auditors, I find significantly worse performance when auditors divide work with a colleague compared with when they divide work with a technological tool or complete work independently. Additional analysis indicates that work division indirectly impacts performance through engagement, as experimental participants were less likely to engage with their work when it involved a colleague compared with when it involved technology or themselves. This study contributes by documenting how work division affects auditor performance, particularly how inexperienced auditors respond to work division involving technology compared with when involving a human colleague.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"29 1","pages":"229-241"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, it explores how various contextual factors affect the relationship between readability and audit fees from the perspectives of information provision, transmission and reception. Considering listed firms in the Chinese market, this study demonstrates the significant negative effect of financial report readability on audit fees. However, this association is weakened by annual report similarity, the board secretary's social capital and auditors' industry expertise. Furthermore, this study demonstrates that audit fees increase because of both prolonged audit delays and information asymmetry resulting from low readability. By presenting empirical evidence to substantiate the rationale and necessity for enhanced textual readability requirements, this research can provide valuable insights for corporations to improve the effectiveness of their information communication to external stakeholders, which is very important for enhancing financial report quality and aligns with the primary focus of standard setters.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"29 1","pages":"207-228"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143114177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the basis of neo-institutional theory, we hypothesize that coercive (cybersecurity regulation), normative (professionalization of internal auditors and Boards) and mimetic forces (outsourcing of cyber security assurance services) positively contribute to cybersecurity audit (CSA) effectiveness. As these forces do not come about in an interest free model, we study the role of and the interaction with other actors who shape the CSA practices—Boards and security experts. We hypothesize that Board's support to CSA and the level of internal auditors' cooperation with the first and the second line of defence positively affect CSA effectiveness. To test our hypothesis, we conducted a survey involving IT auditors and Chief Audit Executives from various industries, organizations of different sizes and countries. We examined the hypothesized relationships in a series of regression analyses. We find that normative forces (professionalization of the internal auditors and Boards' competences), Board's support to CSA and cooperation between the internal audit function (IAF) and the first two line of defence significantly explain the CSA effectiveness. We find no support for the effect of regulation as a coercive force and outsourcing as a mimetic force. We discuss potential reasons for our findings and their implications. The paper is an original analysis that advances our understanding of key drivers of CSA effectiveness and their relationships.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"29 1","pages":"188-206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12365","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141775725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The European Union is a rare instance requiring audit firm and audit partner rotation simultaneously. By analysing 6,103 firm-year observations of non-financial firms from 29 European countries between 2018 and 2022, this study finds that audit firm rotations are associated with considerable changes in key audit matters, suggesting the existence of a fresh-look effect. In contrast, audit partner rotations appear to induce only limited variations in the key audit areas. Additional analyses reveal that the results are consistent across mandatory and voluntary rotations. Collectively, the findings suggest that audit firm rotations enable auditors to overcome institutional pressures toward standardisation within audit firms, while practical considerations such as the requirement of gradual rotation mechanisms within audit firms might limit individual audit partners' influence. This study adds to the inconclusive literature on the effects of (mandatory) audit partner and audit firm rotations. Further, the results contribute new insights into the consequences of the EU audit reform that has introduced mandatory audit firm rotation and provide evidence in favour of audit firm rotation requirements for other regulators.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"29 1","pages":"160-187"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12364","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gain or loss of large clients is one publicly available signal that can used by other clients to ascertain the quality provided by audit firms.

Empirical examination of a sample of 16,233 firm-years of listed Australian companies for the period 2011–2021 shows that there is an association between offices and industry groups that gain and lose large clients, in both the current and previous periods, and economically significant fee premiums for both Big-4 and non-Big-4 firms.

Moreover, I find that the positive relation between regulatory intensity and audit fees is more pronounced among firms in high-litigation industries, which are typically subject to elevated litigation risks.

We investigated this paradox in team diversity in an audit context at a Big 4 audit firm in Sweden, which provided proprietary team data. In addition, 335 individuals from 185 different audit teams responded to a questionnaire. Each participant responded to a survey about their experience with one specific engagement.
