Abstract

This qualitative research study investigates the intricate relationship between audit quality and financial reporting transparency within the corporate governance landscape. Drawing on principles of grounded theory, the research aims to explore the interplay, determinants, and implications of this relationship informed by existing literature. Through systematic document analysis of academic articles, regulatory documents, and scholarly publications, key dimensions and determinants of audit quality and financial reporting transparency are identified and analyzed. The study reveals that audit quality is influenced by factors such as auditor tenure, audit firm size, auditor industry specialization, and audit fees, each playing a nuanced role in shaping the effectiveness and reliability of audits. Similarly, financial reporting transparency is influenced by regulatory frameworks, theoretical perspectives, and technological advancements, highlighting the multifaceted nature of transparency mechanisms and drivers. The findings underscore the critical role of audit quality in enhancing financial reporting transparency, emphasizing the importance of auditor independence, competence, and ethical conduct. Moreover, the study highlights the interconnectedness of audit quality, financial reporting transparency, and corporate governance, with effective governance mechanisms serving as critical determinants of both audit quality and transparency outcomes. The research contributes to the understanding of the complex dynamics shaping audit quality and financial reporting transparency, providing valuable insights for stakeholders in the auditing profession and corporate governance.

Abstract

This qualitative research explores the influence of auditor independence on audit quality from diverse stakeholder perspectives within the auditing profession. The study aims to elucidate the perceptions, experiences, and challenges faced by auditors, corporate executives, and investors regarding auditor independence and its impact on audit quality. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis were employed to collect data, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of stakeholder perspectives. The findings reveal divergent viewpoints on the concept of auditor independence, with auditors emphasizing ethical principles and regulatory oversight, corporate executives highlighting the collaborative nature of the auditor-client relationship, and investors emphasizing the need for transparent financial reporting. Factors influencing auditor independence, such as auditor tenure, fee dependency, provision of non-audit services, and regulatory frameworks, were identified and discussed. Despite the complexities inherent in maintaining independence, stakeholders recognize the importance of regulatory interventions, ethical guidelines, and stakeholder engagement in safeguarding auditor independence and enhancing audit quality. Moving forward, efforts to enhance auditor independence and audit quality should prioritize regulatory reform, ethical leadership, and collaborative solutions within the auditing profession.

Abstract

This study aims to explore sustainable auditing practices and perceptions within the accounting industry, focusing on organizational approaches, stakeholder engagement, and implications for future research and practice. A qualitative literature review was conducted to synthesize key findings from existing research. The research revealed a spectrum of sustainable auditing practices adopted by organizations, with large multinational corporations leading in adoption as part of their corporate social responsibility initiatives. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face challenges due to resource constraints and competing priorities. Tailored interventions such as capacity-building initiatives, collaborative partnerships, and simplified reporting frameworks are essential to facilitate sustainable auditing adoption among SMEs. Stakeholders' perceptions vary, with some viewing sustainable auditing positively for enhancing organizational performance and reputation, while others express skepticism about its effectiveness and relevance. Cultural factors influence stakeholders' attitudes, emphasizing the need for context-specific approaches to sustainable auditing. The study underscores the importance of stakeholder engagement, transparency, and capacity-building initiatives for organizations aiming to adopt sustainable auditing practices. Methodological challenges related to measuring and reporting sustainability performance must be addressed to enhance credibility and comparability. Future research should focus on understanding the mechanisms and outcomes of sustainable auditing and developing context-specific strategies to enhance its effectiveness.

Abstract

This qualitative literature review explores the practical implications of auditing standard convergence, focusing on audit quality and financial reporting practices. The research aims to analyze the impact of international auditing standards, particularly the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), on audit quality across different jurisdictions. The methodology involves a systematic search and analysis of relevant academic articles, books, reports, and scholarly sources. Data collection includes comprehensive searches of academic databases and hand-searching for relevant journals. Data analysis employs thematic analysis and quality appraisal criteria for evaluating qualitative research. The findings suggest that the adoption of ISAs is associated with improvements in audit quality due to their principles-based approach and emphasis on professional judgment and skepticism. However, the extent of improvement varies depending on the regulatory environment and institutional context. Challenges in achieving convergence arise from differences in legal systems, cultural norms, and regulatory environments across countries. Despite efforts towards convergence, discrepancies exist in research findings regarding the impact on financial reporting quality. Factors moderating this relationship include regulatory oversight, contextual differences, and institutional infrastructure. The study underscores the need for nuanced approaches to standard-setting and implementation to address these challenges effectively.
