An Investigation Into Auditors' Evaluations of Compliance Tests

Abstract

dc:description

Auditors often perform compliance tests to determine whether an auditee's control procedures are operating as prescribed. While the literature seems to suggest that different types of compliance tests have different strengths (i.e., different capacities to detect deviations from prescribed control procedures), little has been written about why these different strengths are perceived to exist. The primary purpose of this study is to develop and test a theory of compliance test strength.
