Exploring the role of digital governance: The effect of audit digitalization on firms’ internal control weaknesses in China
Digitalization empowers government audits to develop the role of digital governance in the internal control audit. This study measures the digitalization progress of government audits from 2012 to 2022 through textual analysis and examines its role in corporate internal control as evidenced by the decreased occurrence and number of ICWs, especially in state-owned enterprises. Then, digital governance benefits from the joint efforts of government and social audits in the internal control audits. Further, the moderating tests expound on the complement effect of firm digitalization, R&D personnel investments, and analyst coverage. Our findings enrich the government audit literature and provide practical guidance on digital governance.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Accounting Information Systems will publish thoughtful, well developed articles that examine the rapidly evolving relationship between accounting and information technology. Articles may range from empirical to analytical, from practice-based to the development of new techniques, but must be related to problems facing the integration of accounting and information technology. The journal will address (but will not limit itself to) the following specific issues: control and auditability of information systems; management of information technology; artificial intelligence research in accounting; development issues in accounting and information systems; human factors issues related to information technology; development of theories related to information technology; methodological issues in information technology research; information systems validation; human–computer interaction research in accounting information systems. The journal welcomes and encourages articles from both practitioners and academicians.
