Abstract

This qualitative research investigates the influence of government regulations on auditing practices, aiming to provide insights into how regulatory frameworks shape audit methodologies and impact audit quality. The study employs semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and participant observation to gather data from key stakeholders in the auditing profession. Thematic analysis is used to analyze the qualitative data, revealing the complex interplay between regulatory compliance, audit methodologies, and audit quality. The findings indicate that auditors adapt their procedures and practices to meet regulatory requirements while maintaining audit efficiency and effectiveness. Regulatory compliance serves as a cornerstone of audit practice, influencing the allocation of resources and the adoption of risk-based audit methodologies. Moreover, the study explores the impact of regulatory reforms, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, on audit quality and financial reporting integrity. While some participants perceive regulatory reforms positively, others express concerns about the regulatory burden and unintended consequences of compliance. Document analysis further underscores the mixed perceptions surrounding the effectiveness of regulatory oversight mechanisms in deterring audit failures and enhancing auditor accountability. Overall, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between government regulations and auditing practices, with implications for policymakers, regulators, audit practitioners, and other stakeholders striving to enhance the effectiveness of regulatory regimes and promote transparency and integrity in financial reporting.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of internal audit in enhancing a company's internal control system by examining internal audit practices, perceptions of internal control effectiveness, and the impact of internal audit recommendations. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing interviews and document analysis to gather data from participants representing various organizations. Results reveal significant variations in internal audit practices influenced by organizational size, industry dynamics, and regulatory frameworks. Despite these variations, internal audit functions universally serve as guardians of organizational integrity, providing independent assurance regarding internal control effectiveness. Participants expressed diverse perceptions of internal control effectiveness, citing resource constraints, inadequate training, and communication gaps as common challenges. However, internal audit was unanimously recognized as crucial in enhancing internal controls, offering independent assurance and promoting a culture of compliance and ethical behavior. Internal audit recommendations often led to tangible improvements in internal control systems, although challenges related to resource allocation and change management were reported. Theoretical implications highlight the multifaceted nature of internal audit functions and their critical role in organizational governance, while managerial implications emphasize the need for strategic resource allocation, prioritization, and change management initiatives. This research contributes to the understanding of internal audit practices and their impact on organizational effectiveness.

Abstract

The qualitative investigation into auditing strategies within multinational companies aims to explore and understand the effectiveness of various approaches in addressing fraud risks. Employing purposive sampling, key stakeholders including senior executives, auditors, and regulatory authorities were interviewed. Additionally, document analysis was conducted on relevant organizational documents. Thematic analysis was employed to derive patterns and insights from the data. Findings reveal that internal auditing plays a foundational role in assessing internal controls and identifying vulnerabilities, while external audits enhance transparency despite concerns about auditor independence. Forensic auditing emerges as crucial in uncovering fraudulent activities, and the integration of data analytics shows promise in enhancing fraud detection capabilities. Contextual factors such as geographic dispersion and cultural diversity present challenges, while stakeholder perceptions underscore the strategic importance of effective fraud risk management. Recommendations include prioritizing proactive measures, fostering collaboration, and strengthening corporate governance mechanisms to mitigate fraud risks effectively. This research contributes insights into enhancing fraud risk management practices within multinational corporations.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the role of blockchain technology in auditing processes, focusing on its implications, challenges, and opportunities. The study employs a qualitative approach, synthesizing existing literature, theoretical frameworks, empirical findings, and practical applications to gain comprehensive insights. Institutional theory and the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework provide theoretical foundations for understanding blockchain adoption dynamics. Empirical research highlights the effectiveness of blockchain-enabled auditing tools in enhancing transparency, reliability, and efficiency, albeit with challenges related to regulatory compliance, data privacy, and technological interoperability. Practical applications showcase blockchain's potential to revolutionize audit methodologies, automate procedures, and improve data integrity. Key findings indicate that blockchain adoption in auditing is influenced by institutional pressures, technological characteristics, organizational factors, and environmental dynamics. While blockchain offers opportunities for enhanced audit quality and assurance services, strategic implementation and collaboration are essential to address barriers and optimize benefits. This research contributes to the scholarly discourse on blockchain technology in auditing, informing future research directions and industry practices.
