Download or read book Judgment and Decision Making Research in Auditing written by Mark W. Nelson and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses judgment and decision making research in auditing - i.e., research that uses a psychological lens to understand, evaluate, and improve judgments, decisions, or choices in an auditing setting. Much of this work uses the laboratory experiment approach, but we will also cover related studies that use survey and field study approaches. We classify extant auditing JDM literature as covering three broad areas: (a) the audit task, (b) the auditor and his/her attributes, and (c) interaction between auditor and other stakeholders in task performance. We use this task, person, and interaction categorization to assess the cumulative knowledge generated in the past 25 years, as well as to identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for future research.

Book excerpt: We examine the research literature on audit groups/teams focusing on three main areas: the hierarchical review process, brainstorming as part of the fraud detection planning process, and consultation within firms. We restrict our discussion of these three literatures to judgment and decision making (JDM) experiments. We consider research where two or more individuals within the audit firm interact with one another face-to-face, electronically, or where one person prepares/reviews working papers for another. We outline future research within each of the above areas, as well as considering other areas of future research involving within-firm group interactions related to audit teams in context, shared mental models, and audit team diversity (including sustainability assurance), as well as interactions with groups outside the audit firm, particularly audit committees.
Download or read book Noise written by Daniel Kahneman and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow and the coauthor of Nudge, a revolutionary exploration of why people make bad judgments and how to make better ones—"a tour de force” (New York Times). Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients—or that two judges in the same courthouse give markedly different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different interviewers at the same firm make different decisions about indistinguishable job applicants—or that when a company is handling customer complaints, the resolution depends on who happens to answer the phone. Now imagine that the same doctor, the same judge, the same interviewer, or the same customer service agent makes different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday. These are examples of noise: variability in judgments that should be identical. In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein show the detrimental effects of noise in many fields, including medicine, law, economic forecasting, forensic science, bail, child protection, strategy, performance reviews, and personnel selection. Wherever there is judgment, there is noise. Yet, most of the time, individuals and organizations alike are unaware of it. They neglect noise. With a few simple remedies, people can reduce both noise and bias, and so make far better decisions. Packed with original ideas, and offering the same kinds of research-based insights that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge groundbreaking New York Times bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise in judgment—and what we can do about it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `Malcolm Smith's Research Methods in Accounting provides a useful addition to the limited number of books on research methods that are addressed specifically to the area of accounting. For students taking DBA degrees in the area, it is probably an ideal companion' - The European Accounting Review Research in accounting is concerned with solving problems, investigating relationships and building a body of knowledge. With this in mind, this book will provide a clear and concise overview of the conduct of applied research studies in accounting. It provides the principal building blocks of how to implement research in accounting and related fields. This book provides students with: - an understanding of contemporary research ideas in accounting, so that readers can identify and define research problems and prepare strategies for their solution; - an awareness of alternative research methods, to facilitate the selection of the most appropriate method for addressing particular research questions; - an ability to review existing research and to offer critiques of articles published in refereed journals; - an appreciation of the ethical constraints on the conduct of accounting research. This book will be essential for students and academics in the fields of accounting and management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of new evaluation paradigms raises serious questions about how merit can be established and judged. Linking Auditing and Metaevaluation addresses this concern, introducing a strategy by which the quality of inquiry procedures and products can be assured and retrospectively assessed. Based upon the model of fiscal auditing, the technique is applicable to a variety of social scientific investigations and specifically includes non - conventional paradigms such as naturalistic evaluation. Effective regardless of the nature of the inquiry, auditing is also an excellent means of organizing data, thus promoting theorizing and identification of relationships in that data. Each section includes exercises designed both to encoura

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been prepared for those readers who want to maintain their knowledge of current developments in the field of behavioral research as applied to auditing. The articles and papers presented in this volume were selected because they will contribute to the knowledge and advancement of not only the individual researcher or educator, but also of the profession. It is our belief that if research endeavors may be viewed as having stages of life, then the field of behavioral research in auditing is in its genesis. Almost twenty years ago, in speaking of the state of the art of psychology, William Hays expressed a most·appropriate thought: Experimental evidence is accumulating at a rapid rate in psychology, and efforts at constructing psychological theories with mathematical deductive power are constantly being made. However, it seems safe to say that it will be sometime before there are psychological laws and theories on a par with those of physics. The absence of a general theory does not imply that those relations are missing or unhpportant in psychology; the discovery and specification of relations is the process by which those theories are built. (Hays, 1973, p. 40.) In the first chapter, "Experimental Research and the Distinctive Features of Accounting Settings," Robert Libby presents an encompassing and knowledgeable summary of the changes that have taken place during the last decade in human information processing research in accounting and experimental economics as it relates to those issues.

Book excerpt: Auditing researchers face a complex decision setting. Numerous factors must be considered in defining a research question, in choosing an experimental design and in obtaining and evaluating data. Researchers and practitioners alike need to be familiar with alternative research strategies. This study examines research strategies employed in research on audit decision-making. To provide insights into how and why these strategies are chosen, The study illustrates some major considerations facing researchers as they design and execute their studies and provides examples of three major research paradigms or methodologies which have been employed in this literature and summarises the main fmdings associated with each.

Book excerpt: This paper identifies themes in the audit judgment literature and suggests implications of the research that supports them. Research on outcome behaviors and investigations of the process of audit decision making are stressed. Issues in both methodology and theory are considered. A brief assessment of the current state of knowledge in the field of audit judgment research is provided, and an argument is offered for a direction of future work based on the idea of context and the need to understand the meaning that tasks have for the subjects who perform them. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of data from studies currently in progress at the University of Minnesota.
Download or read book Judgment and Decision Making Accounting Research written by Natalia Kochetova and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter reviews the judgment and decision making research (JDM) that involves the production, certification and use of accounting information. We first outline the domain of accounting information and the roles of professional accountants and other users of accounting information. We then provide a brief historical perspective on accounting JDM research. We describe the current impact of JDM accounting research on accounting research more generally in the period 1995-2002 via an analysis of JDM accounting publications in top accounting journals. We then turn to describing recent foci of JDM accounting research both quantitatively using the classifications in this Handbook and qualitatively by examining in some detail significant recent JDM accounting articles. We conclude with some observations about the future of JDM accounting research.
