Using a qualitative research approach, the findings highlight that centralized audit platforms streamline documentation, promote knowledge sharing, and facilitate more effective internal reviews. Advanced Data Analytics (ADAs) such as the General Ledger (GL) Analyzer, process mapping technologies, and data visualization platforms complement professional judgment and skepticism, ensuring that human expertise remains central to the audit process. However, regulatory lag and dual data governance frameworks challenges hinder the seamless adoption of data-centric audit practices. This study emphasizes the importance of audit-data team collaboration for managing large datasets, ensuring data quality, and mitigating the risks of noisy data and false positives. Scalable audit tools are essential to serve a broad client base while retaining the flexibility to address client-specific risks. The Adaptive Audit Ecosystem (AAE) is introduced as a theoretical contribution, conceptualizing the interaction between technology, human expertise, governance structures, and regulatory requirements. The AAE illustrates how emerging technologies augment traditional practices while preserving essential audit principles, such as professional skepticism, judgment, independence, and accountability. This study concludes by presenting a future research agenda within the People, Process, Technology, and Governance (PPTG) framework.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting Information Systems","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100735"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous studies in the field of process mining showed different specific use cases in different related areas of this TLM, like e.g. internal controls, there is not approach that directly links process mining to the TLM. Thus, this paper directly links process mining to all three lines of the TLM and validates the conceptual use cases with real corporate data from a multinational company. The results show the benefits of a TLM-wide implementation of process mining. Thus, our study contributes to the ongoing practical and academic discussions in several ways. First, it leverages the power of the TLM to construct the company’s assurance lines through process mining. Second, the real-world application in a multinational company provides a deep understanding of existing controls and monitoring environment. Third, it offers a broad variety of validated use cases that are aligned with the different lines and can be used as a generic framework for using process mining for different assurance activities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting Information Systems","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100731"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results indicate that firms with information security breaches use the timing of the disclosure of good news to cushion the blow on firm value due to the reporting of these breaches. We also find a positive and significant association between bad news disclosure and all three measures of stock price crash risk. The timing of the opportunistic release of good or bad news could suggest an effort by firms with information security breaches to confuse investors about the overall impact. Furthermore, we show that firms with information security breaches are less likely to be associated with the risk of a stock price crash when they have more transparent financial reports or ISO 27001 certification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting Information Systems","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100729"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some previous studies point to delayed adoption of AI in auditing due to regulations and the need for additional safeguards while others document extensive AI implementation. To address this dissensus, we conducted 22 interviews with experienced audit professionals. We find that “simple AI” technologies such as key data extraction from documents and optical character recognition are used widely in audits while “complex AI” tools are only being developed. We find RPA is used to automate repetitive administrative processes while the use of RPA for audit tasks is not as common. We also find that the main AI adoption challenges are related to transparency and explainability, AI bias, data privacy, robustness and reliability, fear of auditor overreliance on AI, and the need for AI guidance. We present ideas for addressing these challenges based on our research and lessons from other fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting Information Systems","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100734"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Applying quantitative and qualitative analysis to data from a sample of 130 Spanish auditors, the results indicate that, although there is a great willingness to adapt to its implementation, there still needs to be a higher level of adoption of Data Analysis and Artificial Intelligence.

Adopting an institutional logic perspective, it explores the multiplicity, contestation, and mechanisms that elucidate the hybridity nature of Cloud-ERP and its impact on organisations and the involvement of accountants and IS professionals. The study employs semi-structured interviews, observations and organisational archives. Data analysis was conducted through NVivo Plus, identifying fundamental dialectics and the prominence of various institutional logics within implicated organisations and mobilising different professionals and mechanisms to manage these implications effectively. We identified two primary competing logics—business and technical—manifesting in Cloud-ERP instantiated by three pairs of interactable dialectics: economisation vs transparency, accessibility vs restriction, and efficiency vs misalignment. The importance of these dialectics varies across organisational sizes: transparency in large organisations, accessibility in medium-sized enterprises, and misalignment in small enterprises. This dynamic interplay, influenced by the roles of accountants and IS professionals, highlights the need for context-specific collaborative mechanisms, practical in large organisations, trust-based in medium enterprises, and pragmatic in small enterprises, to manage these competing logics effectively. The findings have implications for theory and practice, providing insights into the dialectics, tension, and complex decision-making landscape of Cloud-ERP.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Accounting Information Systems","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 100728"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
