This is a master course in empirical research in auditing. For preparing Master students to engage in further academic auditing research, the purpose of the course is to analyze the state of the art of auditing literatures in selected areas. As a good and patient reader, we must ask what makes a given paper tick: what are the research question and research design? How does the paper borrow from or expand on the related literature? What are the potential problems in model formulation or empirical inference? How can these problems be resolved? By completion of the course, you are expected to learn what the relevant auditing research issues are, how to identify important and unanswered research questions, how to perform an auditing research. To facilitate our discussions, the papers covered in this course are divided into several sessions such as audit quality, discretionary accruals and auditing, audit tenure, etc. I believe this framework should give the students a broader and more concrete picture about what have done by the auditing academic and what papers we covered in this course. |
