We introduced a framework of information systems audit methodology and applied to IS projects based on RFID/USN in six public organizations in South Korea. An analysis of five IS implementation projects shows the iterative technical specific risks are disclosed. The key 14 risk factors categorized into 4 classifications (Project Management, application, database, system architecture) which are based on the established IT audit framework in order to extend to the technology (RFID/USN) specific framework and apply to the other case as well. The implications of these findings for audit research and practice are discussed.

The study investigates the effect of the widened daily stock price limits on the usefulness of accounting information in Korea: 1) whether investors place a higher importance on audit quality, an indicator of the reliability of accounting information, and 2) whether there are differences in the relationships between audit quality and stock-price earning-rates two years before and after June 15, 2016. This study employs samples of two years (2013 to 2015) before the widening and two years after the widening (2016 to 2017). The samples are limited to the companies listed on the Korea Stock Exchange, accounting settled in December, collected from Fn-Guide and TS-2000 of the Korea Listed Companies Association. The results show that the positive association between audit quality and stock return was increased during the later period, compared to the preceding period. This tendency was more evident in companies with higher debt ratios and companies with lower levels of income smoothing, which is considered to have higher risks. The findings suggest that it is the first study evaluating the effect of widening daily stock price limits, made on June 15, 2015, on the usefulness of audit quality information by examining the relevance between audit quality and stock return.

This research extends the literature on the effect of board characteristics and ownership structure on audit fees; these factors affect the firm's agency costs and how the auditor assesses various risks, hence the audit efforts and fees. The paper introduces political connections as a determinant of audit fees for the first time in Jordan, where the political connection is prevalent and affects decision making on the Jordanian boards. The sample consists of 109 manufacturing and service firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) over the years 2012-2019. Data is obtained from the ASE and the company's annual reports. Board characteristics are measured by board size, independence, leadership duality, meetings frequency, political connections, and audit committee. Ownership structure was measured by concentration, foreign ownership, and Institutional ownership. The study hypotheses were tested by using Generalized Least Squares regression. The Findings showed that larger boards, politically connected firms, and firms with leadership duality are more likely to pay higher fees. Besides, Firms with greater foreign ownership pay less fees, whereas the rest of the variables are insignificant. Results suggest that political connections play a major role in determining audit fees; this provides a recommendation to policymakers in Jordan to reconsider regulations regarding political connections.

본 연구는 고객중요성이 자본시장반응에 직접적인 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 감사품질을 통해 간접적으로도 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알아보기 위함이다. 또한 효과적인 기업소유구조는 소유와 경영의 분리로 발생하는 대리인문제를 완화하여 자본시장의 효율성과 기업가치를 제고하며, 감사품질에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 함께 다루어볼 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 고객중요성과 기업소유구조가 감사품질 및 시장반응에 영향을 미치는지의 순차적 관련성을 검증하기 위하여 경로분석을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 고객중요성이 감사품질에 대체로 양의 결과가 나타나 감사품질을 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 기업소유구조가 감사품질에 미치는 영향은 대주주지분율이 높을수록 높은 감사품질을 선호하는 것으로 나타나지 않았고 외국인지분율의 경우는 유의성을 확인할 수 없었다. 셋째, 매개변수인 감사품질이 높을 경우 일부 변수에서 투자자들이 긍정적으로 인식하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 고객중요성과 기업소유구조변수가 부분적으로 기업가치에 직접적 또는 간접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 고객중요성 및 기업소유구조는 일부 변수에서 감사품질이 향상되고, 향상된 감사품질정보를 인지한 투자자는 자본시장에서도 긍정적인 신호로 인식하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구는 선행연구에서 다루었던 비감사서비스의 제공과 감사품질, 기업지배구조와 감사품질 등의 개별적 관련성의 분석을 확장하여, 감사인독립성의 주요 요인인 고객중요성, 기업소유구조가 감사품질에 영향을 미치고, 감사품질은 시장반응에 영향을 미친다는 순차적 관련성의 분석을 통해 이들 변수간의 관련성을 구조적으로 동시에 검증함으로써 직접적인 효과뿐만 아니라 간접적인 효과까지를 실증적으로 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다. 특히, 감사품질의 관련성에 대한 연구결과가 일관적이지 않은 시점에서 가능한 정교한 방법론을 위하여 경로분석모형을 시도하여 기존의 주장들을 재검토할 수 있는 정책적 시사점을 제시한다고 판단된다.

This study investigates the direct and indirect effects, mediated by audit committee quality, of managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and profitability on intellectual capital (IC) disclosure. The object observed of this study is companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in the 2014-2018 period that are classified as high intellectual capital-intensive industries. Based on the sampling method, purposive sampling, 51 companies were selected as samples. This study used path analysis techniques with IBM SPSS version 25 to study the direct and indirect influences of managerial ownership, institutional ownership, and profitability toward IC disclosure. The results of this study show that managerial ownership, profitability and audit committee quality have a significant positive effect on IC disclosure whereas institutional ownership has significant negative effect on IC disclosure. This study also provides empirical evidence, supported by the sobel test, that the audit committee quality is able to mediate the effect of institutional ownership and profitability on IC disclosure. However, the audit committee quality is not able to mediate the effect of managerial ownership on IC disclosure. These findings develop and strengthen the results of prior studies related to the implementation of signaling theory and agency theory in devoting more understanding about IC disclosure.

This paper aims to explore the relationship between the quality of the audit and the level of stock return co-movement in the context of the Vietnamese emerging market. The empirical study is designed based on the quatitative method and deductive approach. The panel dataset includes 256 listed firms from different industries,with 1115 firm-year observations on Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange for the period from 2014 to 2018. In the research, we built the econometric regression model, using stock return synchronicity and audit quality as the dependent and independent variable, respectively. Some control variables are also added to the econometric regression models as they are well-documented in prior research to have an effect on stock price synchronicity. To improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients, beside the Ordinary Least Squares, we employ the Random Effects Model and the Fixed Effects Model for better statistical analysis of panel data set. The results show that the quality of the audit is positively correlated to stock price synchronicity. This finding suggests that stock returns of companies with higher quality of the audit are more synchronous with the market. Results for other control variables also support our reasoning for the main findings.

The purpose of this research is to examines the effect of the audit offer and simultaneous tax services from auditors on the firm value of clients. To test this hypothesis, we used the samples of the auditors' tax services selected from firms listed on the securities markets of Korea. We use the methodology of regression analysis. The major findings are as follows. First, TAX_SER has a positive relationship with the firm value. The knowledge and experience resulting from the offer of audit services are applied to the process of offering tax services to enhance the professionalism of audit and tax services. Second, the analysis was performed to determine if the type of tax services from auditors and the type of listed markets make any difference in the effect of TAX_SER1 on TQ; the study has revealed that only tax adjustment has a positive effect on TQ in the type of tax services. Depending on the type of listed markets, TAX_SER1 has been found to have a differential effect on the firm value. The results show that investors might decide to invest in those firms where the auditor could increase the firm value through audit and tax services.

This study aims to examine the effect of institutional ownership, independent board of commissioners, audit committee, and profitability (RNOA) on tax avoidance in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the 2014-2018 period. The sampling method employed in this study was the cluster sampling method. The population was all banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2014-2018. The sample selection results using the purposive sampling method during the observation includes 209 companies that published complete annual reports and their financial report notes as of December 31, 2018. The results revealed that institutional ownership and independent board of commissioners did not affect profitability. Profitability also did not affect tax avoidance. Further findings showed that institutional ownership and audit committee positively affect tax avoidance. From the result of Sobel test, this study indicated that profitability cannot mediate the effect of institutional ownership, independent board of commissioners, and audit committee on tax avoidance. This study has succeeded in proving empirically that there was a significant effect of the audit committee on profitability, institutional ownership on tax avoidance, and the audit committee on tax avoidance. Therefore, this study supports the agency theory and the research model from previous studies.

The purpose of this study is to investigate factors influencing risk assessment of material misstatement in Vietnamese enterprises listed on stock market. Expert interview method was conducted to discover the scales for three variables including information system, trademark, and risk assessment of material misstatement. Survey method was used to examine the impacts of eight factors on risk assessment of material misstatement. Data is collected from 317 auditors who have excellent experience in auditing financial statements of companies listed on stock market. Then, data is processed by descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, factor extracted analysis, correlative regression analysis, and analysis variance of residual change. The research findings showed that business characteristic, stakeholder pressure, and economic environment have positive relationships with risk assessment of material misstatement. Three variables including operation control and monitor, control environment, and information system negatively affect to risk assessment. Specially, business characteristic and information system, which are elements in internal control, have strongest impact on risk assessment. One the other hand, assessment of internal control plays an important role not only in the audit plan stage but also throughout the stages of the audit implementation and ending. Therefore, appropriate solutions are proposed to carry out all audit stages.
