Abstract

This study explores the integration of environmental aspects into auditing practices, aiming to enhance organizational sustainability and corporate governance. Through a systematic review of literature, the historical evolution of environmental auditing is traced from its roots in the late 20th-century sustainability movement to its prominence in the early 2000s within the accounting profession. Theoretical frameworks such as institutional theory and legitimacy theory are employed to understand the drivers behind organizations' adoption of environmental auditing practices. Challenges hindering the effective integration of environmental aspects into auditing practices, including the lack of standardized methodologies and regulatory complexity, are identified. Despite these challenges, environmental auditing presents opportunities for organizations to improve their environmental performance, mitigate risks, and identify opportunities for improvement and innovation. Future research directions include exploring innovative methodologies for assessing environmental performance, addressing regulatory challenges, investigating auditors' roles in promoting sustainability, and conducting longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of environmental auditing on organizational performance. The study underscores the importance of advancing sustainable auditing practices to achieve organizational sustainability goals.

Organizational culture, particularly ethical leadership practices, significantly influences audit effectiveness, fostering trust, accountability, and adherence to professional standards. Audit complexity moderates the relationship between leadership and audit effectiveness, highlighting the importance of adaptability and strategic acumen in guiding audit teams through complex engagements. Moreover, team composition, specifically diversity, impacts leadership dynamics and team performance, emphasizing the need for inclusive leadership practices. Overall, the study contributes to a nuanced understanding of the role of leadership in audit effectiveness, providing insights for audit firms and organizations to optimize leadership practices and enhance audit outcomes.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the roles, methodologies, effectiveness, and challenges of internal audit versus external audit within organizational contexts. The research aims to provide insights into the distinct yet complementary functions of internal and external audit, shedding light on their contributions to organizational governance, risk management, and financial reporting integrity. The study employs a comprehensive literature review approach, synthesizing existing research to explore definitions, conceptual frameworks, methodologies, practices, and assessments of effectiveness in both audit functions. Key findings reveal that internal audit serves as a proactive advisor to management, focusing on enhancing operational efficiency, strengthening internal controls, and driving continuous improvement and innovation. Conversely, external audit acts as a safeguard for external stakeholders, providing assurance on the reliability and integrity of financial statements. Methodologies and practices vary between internal and external audit, with internal audit employing risk-based auditing, compliance auditing, and performance auditing approaches, while external audit adheres to auditing standards and regulations. Despite their distinct roles, both audit functions face challenges related to audit quality, independence, and relevance. The study underscores the importance of understanding and leveraging the multifaceted contributions of internal and external audit to navigate the complexities of the modern business environment effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of corporate culture on audit practices and ethics, aiming to understand the mechanisms, challenges, and implications of cultural factors in shaping auditors' behaviors within organizational contexts. The research utilizes a qualitative approach, drawing on existing literature and theoretical frameworks to analyze the complex interplay between corporate culture and auditing practices. Through a comprehensive review, the study identifies key cultural dimensions, including leadership style, organizational values, communication patterns, and ethical norms, that significantly influence auditors' experiences and behaviors. Findings reveal that auditors operating within organizations characterized by strong ethical cultures demonstrate higher levels of ethical sensitivity, professionalism, and adherence to professional standards, while those in environments with weak cultures may face pressures compromising their independence and integrity. Theoretical perspectives such as agency theory, stakeholder theory, and social identity theory are employed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these relationships. The implications of the study underscore the importance of fostering a strong ethical culture, incorporating cultural assessments into audit engagements, and investing in resources and technologies to mitigate ethical risks effectively. By understanding how corporate culture influences audit practices and ethics, stakeholders can work collaboratively to promote integrity, accountability, and transparency within the auditing profession, thereby enhancing public trust and confidence.

Abstract

With an emphasis on the influence of Big Four auditors in the US between 2000 and 2024, this paper explores the factors that influence audit fees and associated non-audit fees. We examine trends in audit, tax-related, and miscellaneous fees using a dataset that includes 1,187 auditors and 13,822 distinct entities across 1,315 sectors. In order to determine if the Big Four auditors—Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG—command a higher cost for their services, we examine how firm-specific factors like revenue, assets, book value, and earnings affect fee structures. This study looks at both linear and non-linear associations using advanced econometric methods, such as multiple regression analysis and non-parametric Wilcoxon rank-sum tests. It additionally incorporates interaction variables to account for differences between Big Four and non-Big Four auditors. The findings reveal that companies audited by Big Four auditors pay significantly more, which is symptomatic of their perceived market dominance and audit quality. While non-audit fees demonstrate clear trends impacted by auditor type, larger businesses with higher revenues and assets are also linked to higher rates.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of corporate governance mechanisms and carbon emission disclosure on firm value, specifically in mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research focuses on three corporate governance variables: audit committee, independent commissioners, and institutional ownership. It also evaluates the level of carbon emission disclosure based on GRI 305 indicators. Using a purposive sampling, data were collected from 72 observations between 2019 and 2021. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to assess the relationships between independent variables and firm value, measured using Tobin's Q. The results reveal that the audit committee has a significant positive effect on firm value, indicating that stronger oversight enhances investor confidence. However, independent commissioners, institutional ownership, and carbon emission disclosure were found to have no significant impact on firm value. These findings suggest that while governance practices like active audit committees play a critical role in supporting firm valuation, the market may not fully appreciate other governance elements and environmental disclosures. The study highlights the need for broader stakeholder awareness and regulatory reinforcement regarding the value relevance of environmental transparency and governance practices in high-impact industries like mining.
