Application of Performance Attribution Analysis in Recognition of Auditing Risks

Risk-oriented audit theory, recognition of auditing risks theory, and performance attribution theory serve as the theoretical foundation of this paper. We intend to construct an application framework of business auditing risks assessment through performance attribution analysis. Furthermore, we employ ‘Lianhua weijing’ as a case to expose how business managed to manipulate performance information disclosure and magnify auditing risks. This paper reveals that performance analysis is helpful to avoid improper conclusions generated from "special"or fake information and to trace the source of significant misstatement.
