Abstract: | Studies of the error-detection performance of audit procedures have found that three attention-directing procedures (client inquiry, expectations based on prior-year errors and analytical review) signal about half of the material errors detected. The present paper corroborates these findings, using a sample of 186 engagements involving 368 proposed audit adjustments of a Big Eight audit firm. |
