Content
This unit aims to introduce the major research paradigms in auditing and assurance research while reflecting on the theoretical and professional issues within the audit profession. The unit will provide an overview of the nature and decision-making frameworks in auditing, the economics of assurance services, and the organisational and behavioural aspects of auditing. A critical evaluation of issues related to audit quality, auditor independence, audit pricing, internal control, and corporate governance and the present and future role of auditing will be undertaken based on a range of seminal and recent empirical studies. The unit also aims to develop students' problem solving and presentation skills in relation to contemporary auditing and assurance issues.
