Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Information Management, grade: 2,0, University of Bremen, language: English, abstract: This paper shows with the help of a meta-analysis the existence of the determinants of an audit report lag. Moreover this article calculates the relevance of these determinants with the help of Z-scores. The justification of this paper is to get a greater extent of knowledge through a meta-analytic literature review of the determinants of audit report lags. An audit report lag is the number of days from a company’s fiscal year-end to the date of its auditor’s report. Due to the great development of the globalization and economy, this world has more economical data and is more complicated in an economical context than before. Proof for this statement is the subprime crisis 2007, where Asset-Backed Commercial Papers had a complicated transformation. In addition to this the accounting has issues with too much information and complicated financial products. At first accounting has problems with disclosure of information in the financial statement. Secondly Big Data challenges accounting and finally audit report lags are larger after a new standard is set by the standard-setter or a company has a poor performance in this particular fiscal year. In addition to this last problem, there are a lot of more determinants for an audit report lag than these two. Accordingly this audit report lag is a problem for accounting.

Book excerpt: This book analyzes the relationship between integrated reporting and audit quality within the European context, presenting empirical evidence and drawing on a broad review of the available literature in order to evaluate the ability of integrated reporting to enhance audit risk assessment. Dedicated sections first elucidate the concepts of integrated reporting and audit quality. The main integrated reporting frameworks are compared, the role of integrated reporting within a firm’s disclosure is examined, and all aspects of audit risk are discussed. The key question of the impacts of integrated reporting on the components of audit risk is then addressed in detail, with reference to empirical findings, their practical implications, and their limitations. The concluding section explores the future of corporate reporting and the development of the next integrated reporting framework and summarizes the insights that the analysis in the book offers into the relationship between integrated reporting and audit quality in the European setting.

Whilst the primary audience is students in upper-level undergraduate and graduate accounting courses, the book should also be of use to existing researchers, as it collects together the 'must read' articles on the subject in a readily accessible form. The articles have been selected to cover four broad topic areas: (i) the role of auditing in the governance process, (ii) audit quality and auditor reputation, (iii) governance and audit committees and (iv) the relationship between internal and external auditors. The readings show that much work has been done and that there now exists a substantial body of knowledge of how auditing can contribute to corporate governance. The volume makes an important contribution to an issue that will continue to raise challenges in the years ahead. 25 articles, dating from 1971 to 2003

Download or read book The Audit Committee Performing Corporate Governance written by Laura F. Spira and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we need to understand audit committees? The Cadbury Committee recommended that UK companies should adopt them in response to financial scandals that have stemmed from dubious financial reporting practices. In other countries, similar commissions have made similar recommendations and audit committees are now a common institution. However, many practitioners doubt whether an audit committee really does much to ensure the integrity of a firm's financial statements because, as outsiders, members don't know enough to dig deeply beneath the numbers. The Audit Committee: Performing Corporate Governance argues that such criticism overlooks the ceremonial function of these committees. The audit committee is an arena where members can form and strengthen shifting and fragmentary networks with each other and with the external auditors. Within these networks, both consensus and independence are demonstrated, generating comfort, which legitimises the company and maintains its access to external sources of capital. The audit committee is a key part of the corporate governance structure within an organisation. Many in the UK have been patched together to meet regulatory requirements and their operation is poorly understood because few people other than their members have access to their deliberations. In this account of the world of audit committees the practitioner will find the ethnographical perspectives on ceremonial performance, consensus, independence, and comfort both familiar and different. It's like looking at a photograph of something commonplace from an unusual angle or through a strange-shaped lens.

Download or read book Auditor Going Concern Reporting written by Marshall A. Geiger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auditor reporting on going-concern-related uncertainties remains one of the most challenging issues faced by external auditors. Business owners, market participants and audit regulators want an early warning of impending business failure. However, companies typically do not welcome audit opinions indicating uncertainty regarding their future viability. Thus, the auditor’s decision to issue a "going concern opinion" (GCO) is a complex and multi-layered one, facing a great deal of tension. Given such a rich context, academic researchers have examined many facets related to an auditor’s decision to issue a GCO. This monograph reviews and synthesizes 182 recent GCO studies that have appeared since the last significant review published in 2013 through the end of 2019. The authors categorize studies into the three broad areas of GCO: (1) determinants, (2) accuracy and (3) consequences. As an integral part of their synthesis, they summarize the details of each study in several user-friendly tables. After discussing and synthesizing the research, they present a discussion of opportunities for future research, including issues created or exacerbated as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. This monograph will be of assistance to researchers interested in exploring this area of auditor responsibility. It will also be of interest to auditing firms and individual practitioners wanting to learn what academic research has examined and found regarding this challenging aspect of audit practice. Auditing standard-setters and regulators will find it of interest as the authors review numerous studies examining issues related to audit policy and regulation, and their effects on GCO decisions. The examination of GCO research is extremely timely given the financial and business disruption caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. This unprecedented global event has caused companies, auditors and professional bodies to revisit and reassess their approach to going concern, and to think even more deeply about this fundamental business imperative.
