The research utilises a complete dataset of all 92 Connecticut municipalities that meet the study criteria and does not rely on samples or survey results. The measure of per capita was utilised to account for differences between town populations allowing for a more accurate comparison of audit fees and audit fee determinants across municipalities of differing populations. Consistent with the premise that auditee characteristics are an important consideration in audit fees, we find that when examining audit fees on a per capita basis in the subset of small municipalities: (1) smaller towns pay considerably more for audit services than larger towns, (2) towns with an ethics committee oversight function and best practices financial reporting practices have lower per capita audit fees than those that do not and (3) audit firm size, audit firm tenure and existence of audit/finance committee oversight have no significant impact on per capita audit fees. The results of this study help fill a void in the audit literature by providing insights into audit fee determinants in small municipalities by considering the added feature of a per capita analysis. The authors also sought to provide additional information for consideration in the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) efforts to streamline standards for auditing of less complex entities.","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"27 4","pages":"171-189"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46525157","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}

Mitchell Van der Zahn","doi":"10.1111/ijau.12300","DOIUrl":"10.1111/ijau.12300","url":null,"abstract":"The study aims to examine how changes in the Kuwait audit market following abolition of mandated joint-audit requirements impact audit reporting lag. Analysis tests whether joint-/solo-audit switches (following abolition mandated requirements) affected the level and change in audit reporting lag. The study also tests if the joint-audit pair combination is a decisive factor in determining the (a) level and change in audit reporting lag and (b) audit quality following a switch to a solo-audit. Data is collected from 132 Kuwait-incorporated, nonfinancial firms listed continuously on the Boursa Kuwait from 2015 to 2019 that provides 660 firm-year observations (528 firm-years main empirical tests). Analysis indicates that the following abolition of mandated joint-audit requirements, Kuwait listed firms swiftly switched to solo-audits, generally leading to a significant increase in audit reporting lag. Tests indicate that audit reporting lag was significantly less for joint-audits relative to solo-audits. Additional results show a significant negative association between the quality of joint-audit pair combinations and audit reporting lag. However, there is no significant association between audit reporting lag and the quality of solo-audit type. Test results indicate mixed support for the perception that a joint-audit pair combination significantly influences the level and change in audit reporting lag following the switch to a specific solo-audit type.","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"27 1","pages":"45-68"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49013064","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}

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with practitioners from the Big Four and non-Big Four firms; their responses were analysed thematically. The findings are significant regarding the three main themes identified: namely, audit practice, procedures and the challenges associated with the adoption of BCT. The adoption of BCT has the potential to impact audit procedures to a certain extent. The interviewees believed that BCT would transfer Audit 3.0 to Audit 4.0. For instance, external confirmations could be enhanced by the move towards a more automated verification process. In addition, the audit budget time could be decreased with the help of this technology in the long run. The need for physical observation could be diminished because of this technology, as it could track observations on a real-time basis. This technology could also facilitate analytical procedures, as it has the potential to incorporate other analytical tools simultaneously. Furthermore, it could reduce the costs associated with fraud detection to a great extent, as it provides a tamper-proof, immutable audit trail.","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"27 1","pages":"24-44"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41808200","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}

In this context, there can be different perspectives on audit quality. Given recent regulatory changes in the European Union (EU) aimed to improve investor confidence in audited financial statements, it is critical to understand the association of NAS and audit quality perceptions by investors before and after the regulation. We investigate whether NAS affect shareholder and lender perceptions of audit quality, measured by the cost of debt and equity capital. For a sample of German firms, we find significant positive associations of NAS with both cost of debt and cost of equity. Other assurance and consultancy services drive this effect. We do not find this effect in the pre-regulation period, but in the transition period when the regulation was passed but NAS restriction did not yet apply. In the post-regulation period, it only persists for lenders. Thus, the EU regulation may have increased (or inadequately created) independence concerns for shareholders and lenders and curbed these concerns for shareholders only.","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"28 2","pages":"388-407"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12297","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45561518","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}

An output-based comparability measure is used to consider the association between audit styles at a firm level, audit office level and individual auditor level and financial statement comparability. Evidence of audit style effects on financial statement comparability is found at the three different levels—the audit firm, the audit office and the individual auditor. The study further finds some evidence that audit office style dominates audit firm style and individual auditor style dominates audit office style. This finding suggests that even in countries where internal (within the audit firm) and external (country regulations) control mechanisms are strong, the audit style of the individual auditor is present and associated with increased financial statement comparability. Using a setting where firms report under IFRS further suggests that in a principles-based environment, despite strong internal controls and in-house working rules by audit firms, individual auditors continue to have some level of autonomy in the interpretation and application of the accounting principles and in-house working rules.","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"26 4","pages":"572-589"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12296","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48575541","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}

We employed a 2 × 3 between-subjects experimental design, with regulatory enforcement style (critical or supportive) and audit firm response (defensive actions or remedial actions or control) as the independent variables. We find that investors perceive a relatively high level of audit quality when the audit firm chooses to take remedial actions, regardless of regulators' enforcement styles. In contrast, investors perceive a relatively low level of audit quality when the audit firm chooses to take defensive actions in response to regulators that impose a critical enforcement style. Additional analyses show that investors' perception of audit quality mediates the joint effects of regulatory enforcement styles and audit firm response on willingness to invest. Our findings suggest implications for the ways that regulators adopt different enforcement styles, which should be of interest to audit practitioners and regulators, as the findings show the potential consequences of different firm response strategies to inspection findings.","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"26 4","pages":"553-571"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45619592","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}
