In practice, checklists are generated during the audit process based on specific objectives. There is no standardized list of items that can be used as a reference. The purpose of this study was to develop a GIS audit framework as a foundation for GIS audits. The framework provides that comprehensive approach to various GIS aspects during the audit process. The design builds on a developed conceptual framework where most significant categories of GIS audit parameters namely data quality, software utilization, GIS competency and procedures (work flows) were identified. The study adopted a reductive model approach to simplify the complexity associated with each category of GIS audit parameter. The resultant audit elements for each category are organized in a matrix that forms an integral part of the framework. The columns comprise audit goal, audit questions and audit subjects as indicators which are qualitatively measured. The rows comprise the parameters (data quality, software utilization, personnel competency and procedure (workflows)). To use the framework, an auditor only needs to create an audit checklist that consists of particular parameters and indicators from the framework depending on audit objective. As part of an on-going research, the next step will involve validating the framework through a mock testing process.展开更多

Most service inspiring schemes in pecr-to-pecr (P2P) networks associate each provider with reputation or money to ensure provider's reliability so as to improve the availability of service contents. However, these schemes bring considerable risk to consumers when a provider with high reputation or money publishes a malicious service content. Moreover, the number of providers decreases as some providers are rejected while they have unconsciously published one or several polluted content., ever. The risk may spread to more users and cause the collapse of the service system. Recently, some researches have shown that the unconscious polluted contents are over twice as many as the intentional polluted contents. In order to distinguish the unconscious polluled contents from the intentional polluted contents and rescue those correlative users, we propose an audit model based on each service content to improve the validity of services. In our model, each node is associated with money, and each service content is associated with reputation. The unconscious polluted contents are prevented via consumers' evaluation, and the intentional polluted cantents and malicious providers are rejected via audit executors' evaluation. Simulatinn results show that the model improves the ratio of available service contents and reliable providers.展开更多

Traditional audit reporting model cannot satisfy the need of modem auditing, and it is essential to reconstruct current audit reporting model of modem risk-oriented auditing (MRA) during the post-financial crisis era, because it lacks communication value, valuable information, and effective alert information. The study provides the main contents about the reconstruction plan of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB): auditor's discussion and analysis (AD&A), required and expanded use of emphasis paragraphs in the auditor's report, auditor assurance on other information outside the financial statements, and clarification of language in the standard auditor's report. Then, the study discusses the effects of the reconstruction of audit reporting model on different stakeholders of audit including the auditors, the investors, the regulators, and the researchers.展开更多

Data for this research have been collected through questionnaires. The statistical population consists of auditors who are members of Iranian Association of Certified Public Accountants (IACPA). The research results reflect that: (1) Auditors do not use statistical techniques for assessing going concern as an analytical procedure; (2) Auditors do not use these techniques as a tool to decrease the bias of judgments in assessing the going concern assumption; (3) Auditors do not use statistical techniques to assess audit risk in the planning stage; (4) Auditors do not use statistical techniques to assess audit risk in the final stage. Furthermore this research shows that auditors believe that the "standard concerning usage of analytical procedures needs more clarification" and "statistical bankruptcy predication models can help auditors in the planning stage". The other goal of this research is to show different auditor's judgments in assessing the going concern opinion with and without applying the bankruptcy prediction models as an analytical procedure. The result shows that the judgment of auditors toward the going concern assumption has improved by using statistical bankruptcy predication models.展开更多
