  • Quality internal audit (IA) plays a crucial role in accountability, transparency and preserving public properties. This paper gives a brief background of the IA system in Yemen and examines its impact with regards to financial performance in Yemeni commercial banks based on five factors: (i) independence of IAs, (ii) adherence to IA standards, (iii) governance principles implementation, (iv) size of the IA, and (v) frequency of internal audits committees' meetings. The primary data for the study were collected through a questionnaire prepared for this purpose. Fifty questionnaires were distributed out of which forty-two were retrieved and valid in the analysis process. For the empirical analysis, descriptive analysis and T-test were used for verification of the research hypotheses. Results revealed that sticking to standards internal audit, internal auditors' independence and quality governance have significant impact on banks' financial performance, while the size of internal audits committees, as well as their meeting, frequently has insignificant positive impact on banks' performance. Moreover, the country results show that the use of automated internal audit in banks has an impact on improving financial performance. This article provides avenues for further studies, mainly in developing countries, including Yemen, in quality internal audit and financial performance.

  • 본 연구는 선행연구를 확장하여 비감사보수가 감사품질에 미치는 영향을 Big4 회계법인과 Non-Big4 회계법인으로 분류하여 분석하였다. 본 연구는 감사서비스와 비감사서비스를 동시에 제공받는 기업들만을 표본으로 선정하였으며 Big4와 Non-Big4 사이에 비감사보수가 감사품질에 미치는 영향에 대한 차이가 있는지를 집중하여 검증하였다. 분석결과 비감사보수는 Non-Big4 회계법인으로부터 감사 받는 기업들의 감사품질과만 유의적인 양(+)의 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 지역 기업들을 주고객으로 삼고 있는 소형회계법인들의 경우 특정 기업에 대한 경제의존도가 높을 수 있고 따라서 비감사보수가 커질수록 독립성을 훼손할 유인이 크다고 해석할 수 있다. 한편 Big4 회계법인의 경우 비감사보수가 재량적 발생액 절댓값과 음(-)이 관련성이 없는 것으로 나타나 비감사서비스가 전문성을 강화시킨다는 근거는 찾을 수 없었다. 본 연구의 결과는 지속적으로 비감사서비스가 차지하는 비중이 커지는 현 시점에서 규제기관과 자본시장 참여자에게 유용한 통찰력을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

  • 선행연구는 허핀달 지수로 측정한 국내 감사시장의 집중도가 높아질수록 감사품질이 낮아진다는 것을 보인 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 감사위원회의 특성이 이러한 감사시장의 집중도와 감사품질 간의 관계에 영향을 미치는지를 분석하였다. 감사위원회가 본래의 감독·감시 역할을 제대로 수행한다면, 과점 감사인의 감사를 소홀히 하는 경향이 억제될 것으로 예측되기 때문이다. 2006년부터 2015년까지 감사위원회를 보유한 유가증권시장 상장기업을 대상으로 분석한 결과, 선행연구의 결과와 일관되게 감사시장의 집중도가 상승할수록 감사품질은 하락하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 감사위원회가 감사위원회의 세 가지 세부특성 - 독립성, 재무전문성, 활동성 - 중 재무전문성을 보유한 경우에는 감사시장의 집중도가 증가하더라도 감사품질이 저하되지 않는 것으로 드러났다. 본 연구는 감사위원회의 특성이 감사품질에 영향을 미치는 데 있어 감사시장의 집중도를 고려하였으며, 감사위원회의 특성 또한 세부적으로 구분해서 그 효과를 동시에 살펴보았다는 점에서 공헌점이 있다.

  • The paper examines the characteristics and causes of the expectation gap of audit and assurance services. The paper has conducted three surveys with three target groups. In the first survey, participants are auditors, users of audit reports are subject in the second survey and in the third survey, and students major in auditing are selected. The content of the survey aims to find out the differences in perception of the survey participants on two issues: (i) responsibilities of auditors for detection frauds, errors, protection of the enterprise's assets and financial scandals, and (ii) the role of audit and auditors in making investment decisions and investor's belief. The research carried out survey from March to September 2019 with 165 responds. The collected data was processed by statistical software SPSS, version 23, and Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the results of the audit expectation gap between the auditor group and the users of audit report group and between the student group and users of audit report group. The results showed that there exists an expectation gap in the responsibility of auditors for detection of all frauds, errors and protection enterprise's assets. Recommendations include strengthening audit standards, penalizing bad practices and ensuring auditor's independence.

  • Purpose: The function of internal audit is to help achieve company goals and targets by minimizing the impact of business risks. The distribution of internal audit activities in carrying out control and supervision covers all aspects or activities at all levels of management. The aim of the research is to determine the distribution of risk-based internal audit effectiveness assessments in companies. Data and Research Design Methodology: Researchers examined research trends regarding things that could influence the distribution of the effectiveness of the internal audit function from 2007 to 2023.This research used a systematic literature review (SLR) research method. This research used 23 papers sourced from the Scopus database. Results: The distribution of the effectiveness of audit services provided by internal auditors is more influenced by the personal characteristics of internal auditors and has little to do with the leadership of the chief internal auditor, technology, and risk management. Conclusion: The distribution of monitoring services provided by internal auditors covers all levels of departments or divisions of the organization. The assessment of internal audit effectiveness is more influenced by the auditor's personal attributes such as independence, competence, and management support.

  • 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.

  • This paper studies the asymptotic behavior of the finite-time ruin probability in a jump-diffusion risk model with constant force of interest, upper tail asymptotically independent claims and a general counting arrival process. Particularly, if the claim inter-arrival times follow a certain dependence structure, the obtained result also covers the case of the infinite-time ruin probability.

  • 은행업에 있어서 정보시스템의 중요성은 다른 산업에 비해서 매우 높다. 본 논문에서는 한 은행의 사례를 토대로 은행에서 실시하고 있는 정보시스템 감사 제도의 전반적인 현황을 분석하여 문제점 및 발전 방향을 제시한다. 주요한 문제점은 다음과 같다. 전반적으로 정보시스템 프로세스의 수행 정도가 미흡하고, 감사 실시 정도는 전반적으로 중요한 프로세스에는 적절히 대응하고 있으나 금융 및 전산사고 예방에만 초점을 맞추어 전략적인 측면의 대응이 미흡한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 감사 활동이 프로세스 수행에 긍정적인 영향을 미치지 못하고 있어서 감사 사후 관리를 개선할 필요성이 제기되었다. 감사 인력/조직적인 측면에서는 인력의 충원이 필요하고, 전략 기획 분야와 연구·개발 활동이 미흡하고, 감사인의 적격성 및 독립성 분야에서 기준 대비 미흡한 면이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 여기에 대한 발전 방향으로는 내부 감사 부서들간의 적절한 감사 분담, 외부 감사의 활용, 감사 자동화 도구 도입, 자가통제평가 제도 도입, 감사인력에 대한 경력개발 제도 실시, 위험 기반 감사 제도 도입 등이 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 은행업, 더 나아가서 다른 산업의 기업들이 참고할 수 있는 사시점을 제공하고, 본 연구에서 활용한 분석 프레임워크는 향후 정보시스템 감사 분야의 학술적인 연구에서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Purpose - The main question in this study is whether there is any relationship between corporate governance variables and earnings quality. The size of the board and audit committee, the number of stockholding managers and non-executive directors, and management quality are considered as independent corporate governance variables in the hypotheses. Research design, data, and methodology - Earnings quality is used as the dependent variable. Input from the abovementioned variables are drawn from 94 listed companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange for the period between 2006 and 2010. Results - This study examines corporate governance aspects such as the size of the board of directors, the number of shares held by the board, the board's independence, and the percentage of non-executive directors. The results show that establishing an audit committee has a significant role in ensuring higher quality reported earnings. Conclusions - The regression statistics output reveals a meaningful relationship between earnings quality and the size of the board of directors, the number of non-executive directors, and the size of the audit committee. This result indicates that improving earnings quality requires that the size of the board of directors be taken into account.
