It is an emerging practice of Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) in many countries, and it marks a stark departure from the traditional ‘after-the-fact’ auditing practice. Real-time audits have been widely used in the auditing of COVID-19 relief programmes in many countries. Whereas in the United States and many other countries, this practice became popular only in recent years, Israel's SAI in Israel has been conducting real-time audits since the 1970s. The article surveys SAI practices in various countries regarding the timeliness of the auditing of public agencies and presents the pros and cons of real-time audits based on an analysis of the Israeli experience. We conclude by outlining several issues that SAIs should consider before choosing to conduct a real-time audit.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"28 2","pages":"328-339"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135063111","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}

Additional analyses show that the United Kingdom's mandatory greenhouse gas emissions reporting mandate, industry and gender diversity of the board of directors play significant moderating roles in the relationship between compensation and voluntary carbon assurance.

The results imply that when clients exhibit both cross-sectional and the time-series informativeness of financial statements, auditors lower their perceived audit risk and reduce risk premium, which decreases deadweight cost to these clients. This is especially the case when engagement partners exert more effort in auditing.

Framing management integrity assessments by relying on responsible CSR activities can lead to auditors' unintended alignment with their clients' preferred outcomes. Motivated by the increasing frequency of clean internal control opinions (ICOPs) regarding clients that subsequently misstate, we explore whether auditors' overreliance on responsible CSR influences the quality of ICOPs. We find that clients' CSR involvement is associated with fewer adverse ICOPs, but this CSR effect is asymmetric because it is only explained by responsible CSR activities and not by irresponsible CSR activities. Importantly, the ‘good side of CSR’ is associated with fewer adverse opinions being issued to misstated clients. Additional analyses show that only irresponsible CSR activities increase the risk of financial misstatements. Our findings provide support for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's warning that certain conditions inherent in the audit environment, such as the assessment of management integrity, can lead to auditors unconsciously favouring confirming evidence (represented by responsible CSR activities) instead of relying on disconfirming evidence (represented by irresponsible CSR activities) that could raise issues about management's integrity and ethical commitment.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"28 1","pages":"226-250"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45178946","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}

Using data from 33 countries, we find no significant association between audit market concentration and audit fees in the pooled international sample. However, a country's legal regime changes this association dramatically: the association is significantly positive in countries with a weak legal regime but becomes weaker and eventually turns negative as countries' legal regime becomes stronger.
