Firm Observability, Diversified Investors' Auditing Preferences, and the Nature, Timing and Extent of Auditors' Tests (An Empirical Analysis)

Abstract

dc:description

This study develops an analytical and methodological framework to test whether external auditors' elections concerning the nature, timing and extent of their tests are consistent with the auditing preferences of fully diversified investors, where such preferences are conditioned on (and only on) the observability of the auditee's production and investing activities.
