Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to the upcoming Special Issue on “Judgment and Decision-Making Research in Auditing, 2nd Edition.” This Special Issue continues our mission of advancing and disseminating high-quality research that encompasses both experimental and theoretical perspectives in this important area.
The focus of the Special Issue is the critical role of judgment and decision-making in the auditing profession. We welcome contributions that enhance our understanding and support the evaluation and improvement of judgments, decisions, and choices in a broad auditing context. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, audit tasks, auditor characteristics, and interpersonal dynamics among auditors and other stakeholders involved in the financial reporting process.
We particularly encourage interdisciplinary approaches, drawing on insights from social psychology, organizational behavior, sociology, economics, artificial intelligence, and related fields to provide a comprehensive examination of judgment and decision-making in auditing.
By bringing together diverse perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to enrich the journal’s discourse and contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexities underlying auditing, financial oversight, and accountability. We look forward to receiving your submissions.
