초록

본 연구는 감사인이 가치평가전문가와 전산전문가를 감사에 활용할수록 재무제표의 왜곡표시위험을 낮추어 감사품질이 높아지는지를 조사한다. 회계감사기준은 감사인이 필요하다고 판단하는 경우 전문가를 활용할 수 있도록 규정하고 있다. 회계기준이 공정가치 평가를 채택하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 기업의 규모가 점점 커지고 있고 감사인이 감사에서 전문가를 활용한 시간을 공시하고 있으므로 감사인이 전문가를 활용할수록 감사품질이 높아지는지를 연구할 수 있는 좋은 기회에 직면하여 있다. 본 연구는 감사인이 가치평가와 전산 전문가를 활용할수록 감사품질이 높아지는지를 조사한다. 구체적으로 첫째, 감사인이 가치평가와 전산분야의 전문가를 활용한 시간이 많을수록 감사품질이 높아지는지를 조사한다. 감사인이 전문가를 활용한 경우, 전문가가 사용한 절대적 시간이 감사품질에 영향을 미치는지 아니면 주로 규모와 감사위험에 비례하는 총감사시간에서 전문가를 활용한 비중에 영향을 받는지를 조사한다. 둘째, 감사인이 가치평가와 전산분야의 전문가를 활용할 필요성은 재무제표에서 공정가치로 평가한 항목의 크기와 비중 그리고 기업의 규모 등과 같은 기업특성에 따라 다를 것이다. 따라서 기업특성에 따라 전문가의 활용시간이 감사품질에 미치는 영향이 차별적인지를 조사한다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 전문가 활용비율 및 전문가 활용시간이 높을수록 재량적 발생액은 유의하게 감소하였다. 그러나 전문가 활용비율 및 전문가 활용시간이 발생액의 질에는 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 본 연구는 전문가를 활용하여 회계감사의 질을 효율적으로 높일 수 있다는 실증결과를 제시함으로써 감사에 대한 비효율적 절차 개선과 향후 전문가를 활용한 감사의 발전에 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether audit quality is improved by lowering the risk of misstatements of financial statements as a result of using the valuation experts and computer experts. The auditing standards provide for the use of specialists when it is deemed necessary by the auditor. In addition to accounting standards adopting fair value valuation, the size of the company is increasing and the auditors are obliged to disclose the hours using expert on the audit report, so it is a good opportunity to study whether the quality of audit improves as the auditor. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the audit quality improves with the use of valuation experts and IT professionals. To be more specific, First, we investigate whether the quality of audit increases as the auditor spend more time in the field of valuation and computer expertise. In other words, we investigate whether the audit quality increases with the number of hours spent using the experts, or is affected by the ratio of time spent using the experts. Second, the need for using the experts will depend on the firm characteristics such as the size of the company, the proportion of the items evaluated as fair value in the financial statements. Therefore, we investigate whether the effect of hours using expert on audit quality depends on the characteristics of the company. The results of this study are as follows. Discretionary accruals decreased significantly with higher rate and time of using expert. However, the rate of using expert did not affect the quality of accruals. This study contribute to the changes in inefficient audit procedures and the development of audit by presenting the empirical results that the quality of auditing can be improved efficiently by using experts.
