Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Risk and Financial Management (ISSN: 1911-8074) is excited to invite submissions for our upcoming Special Issue dedicated to examining judgment and decision-making research in auditing. As a dedicated open access platform, the Journal of Risk and Financial Management showcases pioneering research in finance, economics, and risk analysis. This Special Issue aligns with our core mission of disseminating comprehensive research findings encompassing both experimental and theoretical aspects within these areas. This Special Issue places a spotlight on the importance of judgment and decision making in the auditing profession. We invite researchers to contribute their work to deepen our understanding and facilitate the evaluation and improvement of judgments, decisions, or choices in a broadly defined auditing context. This encompasses various factors, including audit tasks, auditor characteristics, and interpersonal interactions among auditors and other stakeholders in the financial reporting process. Researchers are encouraged to draw insights from fields such as social psychology, organizational behavior, sociology, economics, and other relevant theories to conduct a comprehensive investigation into judgment and decision making in auditing. This Special Issue will enrich our journal's multifaceted discourse and contribute to our understanding of the intricacies involved in auditing, financial oversight, and accountability. We look forward to receiving your submissions.

The exercise of audit judgment is essential because it is impractical to perform an audit on all types of evidence. These types of evidence are considered in forming an opinion on audited financial statements, making audit judgment a determinant of the audit’s outcome. The objective of this research is to analyze the factors that affect an auditor’s judgment and decision making (JDM) during an audit. This study used an exploratory research design, with the factor analysis approach as its methodology. However, the data were collected using the questionnaire method. The questionnaire was sent to all member auditors of the Lebanese Association of Certified Public Accountants (LACPA). A total of 310 completed questionnaires were collected and analyzed. The data analysis findings indicate that the auditor’s JDM throughout the audit process is affected by three factors: personal, task, and environmental factors. The auditor’s personal factor becomes the dominant factor because it has the largest eigenvalue of 7.949. These findings demonstrate the complex and diverse nature of auditor judgment, highlighting the significance of considering audit JDM factors. Therefore, auditors may improve their abilities to make informed and effective judgments throughout the audit process by acknowledging the importance of personal, task, and environmental factors.
