政府审计信息披露质量及其评价研究

中国政府审计信息披露质量评价指标体系由及时性、完整性、准确性、客观性、重要性及清晰性等六个方面质量特征构成。评价结果显示:社会公众对我国政府审计信息披露现状的满意度较低,其主要原因是政府审计信息披露的及时性和完整性存在缺陷。另外,研究还发现:目前我国政府审计信息披露的相关工作尚处于相对偏低的水平,社会公众从心理上尚难形成更高的期望和要求,且对审计公告所披露信息的综合利用率也明显偏低。     

董事会特征对审计公费的影响——来自中国A股上市公司2004年—2006年的证据

中国上市公司内部控制问题与审计定价关系研究——来自中国A股上市公司的横截面数据

内部控制质量越高,审计风险就越小,审计质量就越高,企业在审计定价的过程中越能占据有利的地位,使得审计费用越小。2007年,《深圳证券交易所上市公司内部控制指引》和《上海证券交易所上市公司内部控制指引》的出台,为内部控制实证研究提供了可行的数据。本文基于中国注册会计师审计准则第1211号中关于了解被审计单位及其环境并评估重大错报风险和第1231号中关于针对评估的重大错报风险实施的审计程序这两条准则背景,实证检验了内部控制质量与审计定价的正相关关系,为考察审计定价的决定因素提供了新的视角,也拓展了内部控制实证研究。     

新审计准则对注册会计师执业的影响及对策

新审计准则对注册会计师执业提出了新的要求,而注册会计师的执业环境、执业水平达不到新准则的要求,超前的审计准则也不利于保护注册会计师的合法权益。应从执业环境、综合素质、质量控制体系、委托模式、审计市场结构等方面采取措施充分发挥新审计准则的作用。

Corporate Social Responsibility Audit: From Theory to Practice

This research examines the possibility of developing a new corporate social responsibility (CSR) auditing system based on the analysis of current CSR literature and interviews conducted with a number of interested and knowledgeable stakeholders. This work attempts to create a framework for social responsibility auditing compatible with an existing commercially successful environmental audit system. The project is unusual in that it tackles the complex issue of CSR auditing with a scientific approach using Grounded Theory. On the evidence discovered to date in the literature review and the interviews, CSR seems to be perceived by many as the social strand of sustainable development. However, there is far less agreement regarding its measurement. Both the literature review and the interview analysis indicate that developing an applied CSR auditing procedure will be a challenging task. This is principally due to the lack of formal study of this complex subject, which, despite the widespread debate it has engendered, still lacks a single and broadly accepted definition. The concepts developed from the findings of this research, together with the key factors identified in a literature review of CSR, were developed into a prospective CSR audit protocol.

Strategic Auditing: An Incomplete Information Model

This paper presents a stylized model of the strategy game between the auditor and the client. The client is assumed to have either good or bad inherent risk in her reporting system. She chooses a reporting effort level to maintain the accounting records and data management depending on her type of inherent risk. The auditor chooses a high or low level of audit procedures. A high level of auditing procedures will reveal the client's type and effort from which the auditor can decide either to qualify the financial statements or to issue a clean report. The client and the auditor are assumed to move simultaneously. Pure strategy equilibria are derived for all the undominated strategies between the auditor and the client in the region of the model that is more similar to the Fellingham and Newman (1985) model. Unlike their model in which a high auditing level is never a pure strategy in equilibrium, we obtain pure strategy equilibria for high auditing levels.     

Strategic Auditor Behavior and Going-Concern Decisions

This paper analyzes a game-theoretic model in which a client can potentially avoid a going-concern opinion and its self-fulfilling prophecy by switching auditors. Incumbent auditors are less willing to express a going-concern opinion the more credible the client's threat of dismissal and the stronger the self-fulfilling prophecy effect. Similarly, the client is more willing to switch auditors the more likely it is that auditors' reporting judgments will differ and the stronger the self-fulfilling prophecy effect. Further, with greater noise in the auditor's forecast of client viability, the auditor tends to express fewer going-concern opinions.
