Abstract: | This study uses the cascaded-inference paradigm to investigate how auditors evaluate evidence received during management inquiry. Results indicate among others that auditors are relatively more sensitive to source-related uncertainties than evidence-related uncertainties when evaluating information provided by client management. Results also suggest that auditors may fail to recognize the value of information received during management inquiry. |
