Most audit ‘failures’ relate to an assessment of the future whether that be going concern issues, impairments, long-term contracts, provisions, likely changes in the business environment and so forth. The paper suggests a focus on improving the auditor's skills in assessing the future and the leverage of such skills to look at market value added and the share price as a service to the investment community and those who rely on share prices being fair and reasonable. The super-audit report becomes akin to an investment analyst's research report and intended to be an influence on share prices. Many companies around the world currently receive little, or no, or low-quality research coverage. Inevitably many unanswered questions remain for the super-audit about appointment, remuneration, timings, legal liability, professional education and so forth. They are challenging but not insurmountable and make us think more deeply about the same challenges in relation to the conventional audit. The biggest challenge is how the auditor should progress the process of understanding the business and its future.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"26 1","pages":"23-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42848987","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}

These proposed reforms ignore the fundamental conflict of interest—‘the client’ hires, fires and determines the compensation for the auditor. This problem is fundamental in that ‘the client’ is normally the management or board of the firm who, on occasion, have reason to want to take advantage of the inherent imprecision in accounting for their benefit and subtlety pressure the auditor to achieve this. My evidence-based proposal takes advantage of the well-known aversion of managers and boards to government intervention. It incentivizes management and boards to demand rigorous audits by requiring regulatory bodies impose their choice of auditor on public companies that meet well-specified criteria that indicate poor-quality reporting (e.g., restatement of financial statements). This proposed reform retains the ‘on average’ benefits that extant research shows the current system of private sector auditing provides while stimulating greater managerial and director self-interest in high-quality financial reporting.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"26 1","pages":"48-53"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47088885","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}
