This study analyzed annual final sample data from 159 companies based on firms selected as economic justice companies by Economic Justice Institute in Citizens' Coalition for Economic Justice in South Korea according to interest variables from 2005 until 2011. Analyzed results are as follows. First, higher scores in soundness and corporate social activities among CSR items suggested that corporate credit rating upgraded. This indicates that credit rating institutions give a good evaluation on their social activities and reflect them in credit rating assessment. However, environmental protection satisfaction and corporate credit rating showed the opposite results. Second, high objectivity and contribution to the economic development as well as supervision by giant auditors had substantial effects on higher corporate credit rating. In contrast, high soundness and supervision by giant auditors reduced corporate credit rating. Based on this outcome, it is estimated that there is a discriminatory response among CSR activities in terms of credit rating evaluation conducted by credit rating institution.

국가회계 전산화는 자료의 가시성(visibility)을 약화시키고 내부통제의 위험을 증가시키는 등 감사환경을 변화시키고 있다. 정부재정규모의 증가로 거래건수가 증가하고, 결산기간 단축, 자금 전자이체, 정부구매 카드 도입 등 정보화에 따라 회계처리방법이 변화되고 있어 이에 대응할 수 있는 전산감사기법 개발이 필요하다. 전산감사기법은 감사자의 감사능력을 향상시켜 생산성과 감사품질을 향상시키고, 내부통제 확인, 회계부정에 대한 예방기능을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 외부감사인(감사원)이 회계감사에 활용할 수 있도록 국가재정정보시스템 등 정부회계 관련 정보시스템으로부터 수집할 수 있는 자료를 대상으로 회계 감사 시나리오작성 및 검증, 데이터수집, 전산분석기법의 적용을 통한 감사모듈 개발방법을 제안한다.

This study, according to the amendment of the Act on External Audit, on the basis of the number of input auditors, the content of auditing, and audit times as additional informations, calculates the average of the samples listed companies with assets of one hundred billion KRW. However, since the actual number of the subject corporations of which asset is 100 billion KRW is small, it is difficult to extract data with reference to this asset size. Therefore, the samples were extended to 50 corporations of which asset is 10% less than 100 billion KRW and other 50 more corporations of which asset is 10% more than 100 billion KRW. As a result, a total of 100 corporations were included as samples. To calculate the average of the audit times, a t-test was performed between the two groups. The result of the t-test showed that there is not a significant difference between the two groups. According to the analytical results of the t-test, the average of the number of input auditors and the average of audit times were calculated with respect to all the 100 samples. A further analysis showed that the average of audit content in the present study was compared with the estimated values in the study of Mun (2016). Although the results of this study may not be the optimal number, they may be used as a fundamental index which may be compared with the audit times and the audit fees in the current audit market where there is not an available reference. In addition, the amendment of the Act on External Audit may enhance the independence of auditors and the transparency of accounting system when compared with the previous system where only the total audit times were disclosed.

신용카드 및 직불카드 회사들의 연합체인 PCI SSC(PCI Security Standards Council)는 2004년 가정이나 소매상과 같은 소규모 환경에서 고객들의 금융 정보 유출을 방지하기 위한 목적으로 PCI DSS가 제정되었다. 국내에서는 2007년부터 PCI DSS 보안감사제도가 시행되었으며 유일하게 PCI DSS 보안감사자를 보유한 (주)에이쓰리시큐리티사가 가맹점1) 및 PG/VAN사(社)를 대상으로 PCI DSS 보안감사를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 2007년 한 해 동안 국내의 PCI DSS 보안감사를 수행하면서 요구사항에 만족하지 못하는 항목들에 대한 사례를 분석함으로써 국내 PCI DSS 보안감사 도입의 현 주소를 파악하고 이에 대한 개선안을 도출하여 보안감사에 보다 유연하게 대처할 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 2007년 한해 국내 보안감사 실시 결과 PCI DSS 보안감사 대상자의 요구사항 준수율은 평균 81%로 측정되었으며, 전체 233개의 요구사항 중 미적용으로 평가된 항목은 평균 38.7개로 나타났다. 전체적인 평균으로 따져봤을 경우 어느 정도 양호한 수준으로 판단할 수도 있으나 피감사 기업의 업태나 사전준비의 유무에 따라 많은 격차가 있었다. 특히, 기반이 튼튼한 PG사나 VAN사에 비해 신규로 등록되어 사업규모가 작거나 타사에 비해 카드결제산업이 차지하는 사업비중이 작은 곳은 PCI DSS 보안감사의 요구사항을 준수하는데 어려움을 겪고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 PCI DSS 보안감사를 통해 도출된 미적용 사항 중 가장 많은 미적용율을 나타낸 10가지 항목에 대하여 분석하고 이에 대한 대안을 제시함으로써 향후, PCI DSS의 요구사항을 기업환경에 맞게 적용하기 위해 효율적인 가이드로써 활용되었으면 하는 바램이다.

This research is to analyze how an introduction of full-time quality control("QC") personnel system in audit firms influences on audit quality and verify how important it is to establish the quality control system for auditing quality. We measure audit quality as the level of discretionary accruals and compare the differences between audit firms with QC and without QC. In addition, we analyze the difference in audit qualities between before and after activating the full-time QC personnel system by comparing audit quality of before 2015 with that of after 2016. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, the audit quality is higher when audit firms have QC personnel. Second, the audit quality is improved after the introduction of the full-time QC personnel system.

PCAOB conducts the direct supervision for the PCAOB registered accounting firm. Therefore, if an accounting firm is registered with the PCAOB, it will thoroughly manage for their quality management systems. The registered auditor can be expected to have better quality of the audit. This study carried out the analysis using the audit fee which proxies for audit quality. The results of analysis are as follows. After controlling for foreign accounting firms affiliated status, company size, risky assets, leverage, ROA, and market-related variables, PCAOB is a significant explanatory variable for the audit fees. The results of this study support the hypothesis that PCAOB-registered auditors will provide a good audit quality.

2002 년 미국의 회계부정 문제에 기인해 감사조서의 작성 및 수정, 보관에 관한 규정이 강화되었다. 따라서, 회계감사의 일부로 수행되는 전산감사도 이 규정에 따라 전산 감사조서의 작성이 강화되었다. 최근 정부는 공공기관에서 발주하는 일정규모 이상의 정보화 프로젝트에 대한 감리를 의무화하였으며, 공공부분의 정보시스템 감리는 점차 확대되어 감리시장이 성숙단계에 이르는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 정보시스템 감리수행 결과를 평가하기 위한 감리조서의 구성방안을 제안한다. 기존 감리보고서의 불분명한 감리전략과 감리 결과를 지지하는 증거가 불충분한 문제점을 보완하여 감리전략에 기반한 감리조서의 구성을 제안한다. 이는 기존의 감리절차 진행과정에 감리조서 작성을 추가/보완함으로써 기존의 감리절차를 유지하면서도 감리보고서의 신뢰성을 증진한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Big 4 accounting firms contribute to the reduction of earnings management when auditing shipping companies. Generally, it is understood that companies audited by the Big 4 accounting firms engage in minimal earnings management and maintain high audit quality. However, these factors may vary depending on industry and firm size. As a result, this study empirically analyzes the impact of audits conducted by large accounting firms on earnings management within the shipping industry. The Big 4 accounting firms, namely PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, and EY, are the focus of this research. Discretionary accruals are employed as a proxy for earnings management, with the modified J ones model and the performance matched model used to measure discretionary accruals. The analysis, which covers shipping companies listed on KOSP I from 2001 to 2023, reveals that audits conducted by the Big 4 accounting firms do not significantly influence earnings management in the shipping industry. Unlike the general case, it is evident that audits by the Big 4 accounting firms do not play a role in reducing earnings management in shipping companies. This paper is significant as it examines the role of auditors within the shipping industry and presents findings that deviate from commonly known information. Shipping companies should take into consideration that the audit quality of the Big 4 accounting firms may not always be guaranteed when selecting an auditor. Furthermore, supervisory authorities such as the Financial Supervisory Service should engage in oversight based on an accurate understanding of the audit quality offered by the Big 4 accounting firms.
