Recently, as Information System projects tend to be more complex, the importance of Information System Audit increases. In the same context, the need for the resident IS Audit also increases, which is supposed to deal with the possible risks and urgent issues by providing the appropriate support and timely coordination during IS project. Basically, for the effective IS Audit, the IS audit team members should be able to understand such a business context as work characteristics, business knowledge, goals, and culture of the organization. The audit team members should also be able to share the various knowledge of Information Technology and audit procedure with the owner of the project. Especially, for the resident audit, it is more important to fill the gaps in expertise between project owner and audit team. However, any studies on the need of common knowledge base (knowledge complementarities) in the IS audit have not been done so far. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the knowledge complementarity based on inter-organizational communication between the project owner and audit team members makes an effect on the fidelity and performance of IS audit. In order to do this, the relationship among inter-organizational communication and knowledge complementarity, the fidelity of IS audit service, and performance of IS audit has been analyzed, using Structural Equation Model. The result shows that all the relationship is significant, which means that knowledge complementarity between the two different interest groups should be an effective factor on the fidelity and performance of IS audit. This result implies that, for better quality of IS Audit service, how to acquire the knowledge complementarity between the project owner and Audit team should be considered seriously as well as systematically in the process of IS Audit.

The information systems audit is an proactive action to find out the predicted issues on proceeding the business beforehand, to make out whether the information systems satisfies the user's demand or not and to check up the result of the project with complementing the capabilities of self-diagnostics for the complicated and advanced information system. However, the results of the audited project are apt to be regarded as a failure in a case that an opinion of the audit area evaluation is described as 'insufficient' or 'negative' in the audit report that is submitted as the result of the audit. It makes a lot of arguments among the board of audit, the institution ordering the audit and the auditor. In this study, we made an attempt to finding out the factors affecting the audit area evaluation and verifying them objectively. A study model and hypothesis including the improvement type of the recommended subject to be improved, the importance, the audit time, the business scale of the audited object and the auditing company as a factor variable were established and the hypothesis was verified by analyzing the correlation between the factor variables and the audit area evaluation.

최근 우리나라 기업의 회계투명성에 대한 불신이 심각한 상황이다. 회계투명성에 대한 불신은 기업의 자본조달비용을 증가시키므로 수익성을 악화시킨다. 감사업계는 낮은 회계투명성의 원인을 감사인과 피감사기업 간의 수의계약으로 보고 있다. 피감사기업이 감사인을 고용하면서 낮은 감사보수를 요구하며, 이론적으로 낮은 감사보수는 감사자원 투입의 저하를 초래하여 감사품질을 감소시킨다. 그러나 이에 대한 실증적 증거는 전무한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 연도-산업별로 감사보수가 평균보다 낮은 감사인을 저가수임 감사인으로 선정하고, 이러한 감사인들의 감사품질이 상대적으로 낮은지를 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 저가수임 감사인으로부터 감사를 받은 피감사기업의 재량적 발생액이 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 저가수임이 감사품질에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구는 감사보수와 관련된 여러 정책개발에 실증적 증거로 제시될 수 있다.

We investigate whether the association between management overconfident tone and the level of audit effort measured by audit fees and hours differs depending on the level of earnings management. Prior studies suggest that firms led by overconfident managers are likely to initiate risky investments, report low quality financial statements, and have material weaknesses in internal control system. These characteristics, combined together, result in higher audit risk. At the same time, auditors assess audit risk based on the quality of financial reporting, measured by level of earnings management. As a result, the assess audit risk is likely to reflect the combined effect of management overconfidence and the level of earnings management. In this paper, we investigate whether auditors differentiate the effects of real earnings management (REM) and accrual-based earnings management (AEM) when they assess the audit risk related management overconfident. Using the CEO's letter published in 2018, we measure the CEO's tone representing the degree of overconfidence (i.e., activity). Based on this measure, we find that the positive association between managerial overconfident tone and audit effort is more pronounced as the level of REM is higher. However, we find that the baseline association does not vary depending on the level of AEM. These results suggest that auditors consider the managerial overconfident severer when such characteristic accompany the higher level of REM, which can be outcome of aggressive business decisions possibly leading to the higher audit risks. We further find that these results are stronger for Big 4 auditors and continuing auditors. This paper contributes to the literature and practice as follows. First, we provide contextual evidence on how auditors reflect managerial characteristics in the audit process by documenting that auditors actively increase their audit efforts only when overconfident managerial characteristics are highly likely to lead to audit risk. This result suggests that auditors conduct external auditing considering both the efficiency and effectiveness of the audit process. Second, we suggest that auditors use information obtained from a wide range of sources to identify audit risks. Our results provide evidence of how the auditing standards, which do not provide detailed guidelines for audit risk assessment, are being applied in practice. Finally, our results also enhance the understanding of how audit fees are determined. Combined with the studies related to audit pricing, we provide the important reference for discussion between the auditor and the auditee about the audit fee that has created acute tension after the enforcement of the new External Audit Act.
