Two experiments examine the effects of visualizing uncertainty on attention, cognitive arousal, and incorporation of uncertainty information into judgments. The first experiment employs psychophysiological measurements to understand how different presentations of uncertainty information influence decision-making processes. Results indicate that participants attend more to uncertainty information when uncertainty is incorporated directly into a visualization. Pupillometry and eye tracking analyses indicate that participants exhibit greater attention to uncertainty information, fixate more on the bounds of uncertainty, and spend more time examining uncertainty information when uncertainty is visualized, compared to when uncertainty is depicted textually (i.e., not visually). In addition, the decisions of participants who view visualizations directly depicting uncertainty better integrate the level of uncertainty in the underlying data. The second experiment reveals that experienced auditors are more likely to appropriately use uncertainty information when it is visualized.
两个实验检验了将不确定性视觉化对注意力、认知唤起和将不确定性信息整合到判断中的影响。第一个实验采用心理生理学测量来了解不确定性信息的不同表达方式如何影响决策过程。结果表明,当不确定性被直接纳入可视化时,参与者更关注不确定性信息。瞳孔测量和眼动追踪分析表明,与文本描述(即非视觉)的不确定性相比,当不确定性被可视化时,参与者对不确定性信息表现出更大的关注,更多地关注不确定性的界限,并花费更多时间检查不确定性信息。此外,查看直接描述不确定性的可视化的参与者的决策更好地整合了底层数据中的不确定性水平。第二个实验表明,当不确定性信息可视化时,有经验的审计师更有可能恰当地使用不确定性信息。

Prior research has found evidence that country factors and management styles influence earnings management decisions in various geographic locations. Extending this research, we utilize an experimental setting to isolate the effect of geographic distance on the willingness to manage earnings in a near/distant location. In an initial experiment, we find less acceptable earnings management methods generate greater concerns about the method (ethicality and riskiness) leading to less willingness to manage earnings. Yet, greater geographic distance between the decisionmaker and reporting location attenuates these concerns, resulting in increased willingness to use a less acceptable method. In contrast, individuals are willing to use a more acceptable method to manage earnings regardless of geographic distance. These findings are consistent with construal level theory (CLT) and are corroborated in a second experiment where we find that greater geographic distance reduces managers’ focus on the means of earnings management, thereby reducing concerns about the method.
先前的研究发现,有证据表明,国家因素和管理风格会影响不同地理位置的盈余管理决策。扩展这项研究,我们利用一个实验环境来隔离地理距离对在近/远地点管理收入意愿的影响。在最初的实验中,我们发现不太可接受的盈余管理方法会引起人们对该方法的更多担忧(道德性和风险性),从而降低管理盈余的意愿。然而,决策者和报告地点之间更大的地理距离减轻了这些担忧,从而增加了使用不太可接受的方法的意愿。相比之下,无论地理距离如何,个人都愿意使用更容易接受的方法来管理收入。这些发现与解释水平理论(CLT)一致,并在第二个实验中得到了证实,我们发现,更大的地理距离会减少经理对盈余管理手段的关注,从而减少对该方法的担忧。

This study examines the effects of using the internal audit function as a management training ground (MTG) and fraud magnitude on internal fraud reporting decisions. Two experiments examine (1) internal auditors’ reporting behaviors, and (2) other employees’ willingness to report directly to internal audit. In the first experiment, experienced internal auditors indicate that the use of internal audit as a MTG may negatively impact fraud reporting likelihood by internal auditors to the Chief Audit Executive (CAE). Further, using the internal audit function as a MTG inhibits the sense of urgency internal auditors feel to report large fraudulent acts. The second experiment compares management accountants’ preferences for reporting to an anonymous third-party hotline versus reporting directly to internal audit. The results indicate a preference for the hotline that increases with a MTG. This preference is fully mediated by the perceived trustworthiness of internal audit, which is negatively impacted by a MTG.
本研究考察了将内部审计职能作为管理培训基地(MTG)和欺诈程度对内部欺诈报告决策的影响。两个实验考察了(1)内部审计师的报告行为,以及(2)其他员工直接向内部审计报告的意愿。在第一个实验中,经验丰富的内部审计师表明,内部审计作为MTG的使用可能会对内部审计师向首席审计官(CAE)报告欺诈行为的可能性产生负面影响。此外,将内部审计职能用作MTG会抑制内部审计师报告大型欺诈行为的紧迫感。第二个实验比较了管理会计师向匿名第三方热线报告与直接向内部审计报告的偏好。结果表明,对热线的偏好随着MTG的增加而增加。这种偏好完全由内部审计的可信度所介导,而内部审计受到MTG的负面影响。

How Do Auditors Order Their Tasks, and How Does Task Ordering Affect Performance Under Time Pressure? 审计人员如何安排他们的任务,任务安排如何在时间压力下影响绩效?
IF 2.1 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-11-04 DOI: 10.2308/bria-19-039

I examine how the subjectivity of task criteria influences auditors' ordering and performance of audit tasks under time pressure. Tasks with more objective criteria provide little flexibility in how well they can be completed (i.e., they are either performed correctly or incorrectly). On the other hand, tasks with more subjective criteria have a wider range of performance levels that satisfy the "letter" of the criteria, but not necessarily the "spirit." I predict and find that auditors tend to work on a task with more objective criteria before a task with more subjective criteria. As time pressure increases, auditors ordering their tasks this way reduce performance on the subjective task, but not the objective task. By decreasing performance on tasks with more subjective criteria, auditors can address all the criteria for both tasks if only in letter, rather than in spirit.
我研究了任务标准的主观性如何影响审计师在时间压力下对审计任务的排序和执行。具有更客观标准的任务在完成程度上几乎没有灵活性(即,它们要么被正确执行,要么被错误执行)。另一方面,具有更主观标准的任务具有更广泛的绩效水平,这些水平满足标准的“字母”,但不一定满足“精神”。我预测并发现,审计师倾向于在具有更主观的标准的任务之前,先处理具有更客观标准的任务。随着时间压力的增加,审计师以这种方式安排任务会降低主观任务的绩效,但不会降低客观任务的绩效。通过用更主观的标准来降低任务的绩效,审计师可以解决这两项任务的所有标准,即使只是在文字上,而不是在精神上。

The Impact of Trait Skepticism and Ego Depletion on Auditor Judgment 特质怀疑论和自我耗竭对审计师判断的影响

Prior research finds that trait skepticism influences auditors’ judgments but that situational variables may interact with trait skepticism. We examine whether ego depletion, an exhaustion of individuals’ self-control resources which limits one’s ability to vigilantly process information and apply critical thinking, moderates the relationship between trait skepticism and auditor judgment. We contend that when not depleted auditors’ trait skepticism will influence judgment; conversely, when depleted, auditors’ trait skepticism will not influence auditors’ judgments due to a lack of necessary cognitive resources to vigilantly process information. Depleted auditors are expected to adopt a less cognitively demanding strategy and simply make more skeptical judgments, as they expect this is the more acceptable, safer judgment when accountable. Results from an experiment involving a risk assessment task support our expectations: when not depleted, auditors’ judgments are in-line with their trait skepticism but, when depleted, auditors make more skeptical judgments regardless of their trait skepticism.
先前的研究发现,特质怀疑会影响审计人员的判断,但情境变量可能与特质怀疑相互作用。我们研究了自我损耗,即个体自我控制资源的枯竭,它限制了个体警惕地处理信息和应用批判性思维的能力,是否调节了特质怀疑与审计师判断之间的关系。我们认为,当审计师的特质怀疑不耗尽时,会影响判断;相反,当特质怀疑耗尽时,由于缺乏必要的认知资源来警惕地处理信息,审计师的特质怀疑不会影响审计师的判断。被耗尽的审计员应该采用一种认知要求不那么高的策略,简单地做出更怀疑的判断,因为他们认为这是更可接受的、更安全的判断。一项涉及风险评估任务的实验结果支持了我们的预期:当审计师没有被耗尽时,他们的判断与他们的特质怀疑一致,但当审计师被耗尽时,他们会做出更怀疑的判断,而不管他们的特质怀疑。

Do Tax Professionals Act Like Auditors when Evaluating Tax-Related Audit Evidence? 税务专业人员在评估税务审计证据时是否表现得像审计师?

The audit of the financial statement income tax accounts is ultimately the responsibility of the audit engagement team; however, tax professionals are often involved because of their knowledge of the tax functional area. Auditors are expected to exercise professional skepticism and independence when performing audits, while tax professionals are expected to be advocates for their tax clients. This study investigates whether the auditor and/or tax professionals’ typical role influences how they evaluate evidence on an audit engagement, especially when provided evidence by individuals with whom they are closely affiliated. The results of an experiment with experienced auditors and tax professionals, suggest that despite differing in their trait skepticism and client advocacy attitudes, tax professionals and auditors make similar judgments when in the role of an audit engagement team member. We also find evidence both auditors and tax professionals are more persuaded by individuals with whom they have a closer affiliation.
财务报表所得税账户的审计最终是审计项目组的责任;然而,由于税务专业人员对税务职能领域的了解,他们经常参与其中。审计人员在进行审计时应保持专业的怀疑态度和独立性,而税务专业人员则应成为其税务客户的倡导者。本研究调查了审计师和/或税务专业人员的典型角色是否会影响他们如何评估审计业务中的证据,特别是当证据是由与他们关系密切的个人提供时。一项针对经验丰富的审计师和税务专业人员的实验结果表明,尽管他们的怀疑态度和为客户辩护的态度不同,但在担任审计项目组成员时,税务专业人员和审计师做出了相似的判断。我们还发现证据表明,审计师和税务专业人员更容易被与他们关系更密切的个人说服。

Private Investigations and Self-Disclosure of Suspected Fraud: Experimental Evidence on Forensic Accounting Services 涉嫌欺诈的私下调查与自我披露:司法会计服务的实验证据
IF 2.1 Q4 BUSINESS, FINANCE Pub Date : 2021-06-09 DOI: 10.2308/BRIA-2020-045

When a company internally suspects material fraud, it faces difficult choices. It can choose to investigate internally or engage an external specialist. Additionally, it can choose to disclose the investigation or take the risk that the investigation is leaked to the public. I analyze whether the choice to engage an external specialist, rather than investigate internally, changes investors’ willingness to invest in the company. I argue that, when engaging external specialists, disclosure choices matter. Conceptualizing the engagement of external specialists as an external credibility signal, I hypothesize that, when engaging external specialists, self-disclosure increases investors’ willingness to invest compared to when the press reveals the investigation. Results from a 2 x 2 between-subjects experiment with 128 non-professional investors support my hypothesis. This suggests that aligning a signal of credible investigation efforts with forthcoming disclosure could be beneficial. Hence, companies conducting genuine investigations could benefit from resisting temptation of non-disclosure.
当一家公司内部怀疑存在重大欺诈时,它将面临艰难的选择。它可以选择内部调查或聘请外部专家。此外,它可以选择披露调查,也可以冒着调查泄露给公众的风险。我分析聘请外部专家而不是内部调查的选择是否会改变投资者对公司的投资意愿。我认为,在聘请外部专家时,披露选择很重要。将聘请外部专家视为一种外部信誉信号,我假设,与媒体披露调查时相比,在聘请外部专家时,自我披露会增加投资者的投资意愿。对128名非专业投资者进行的2×2受试者间实验结果支持了我的假设。这表明,将可信调查努力的信号与即将披露的信息相结合可能是有益的。因此,进行真正调查的公司可以从抵制不披露的诱惑中受益。

Non-Professional Investors' Judgments of the Reliability of Fair Value Estimates - The impact of Investor Mood 非专业投资者对公允价值估计可靠性的判断——投资者情绪的影响

We study whether investor mood affects non-professional investors' judgments of the reliability of fair value estimates. In two experiments, we find that investor mood, which is a factor that is unrelated to the assessment of reliability across the fair value hierarchy, is associated with differences in the extent to which Level 1 fair values are perceived to be more reliable than Level 3 fair values. As mood becomes more positive, investors perceive greater differences in the extent to which Level 1 fair values are more reliable than Level 3 fair values. Importantly, we find that including brief definitions in the headings under which fair values are reported reduces the influence of mood over perceptions of reliability, and likely improves the effectiveness of fair value disclosures.
我们研究投资者情绪是否影响非专业投资者对公允价值估计可靠性的判断。在两个实验中,我们发现投资者情绪,这是一个与整个公允价值层次可靠性评估无关的因素,与一级公允价值被认为比三级公允价值更可靠的程度差异有关。随着情绪变得更加积极,投资者在一级公允价值比三级公允价值更可靠的程度上感受到更大的差异。重要的是,我们发现在公允价值报告的标题中包含简短的定义可以减少情绪对可靠性认知的影响,并可能提高公允价值披露的有效性。

Management Accountants’ Empathy and Their Violation of Fiduciary Duties: a Replication and Extension Study Using fMRI 管理会计师的共情与信义:基于功能磁共振成像的复制与扩展研究

Research shows that management accountants’ role to support business unit managers’ decision-making may cause them to succumb to managers’ pressures to misreport. Using electroencephalographic (EEG) evidence, Eskenazi, Hartmann and Rietdijk (2016) demonstrate the role of automatic emotional mimicry, which drives misreporting when managers’ personal interest is at stake, but not when BU interest is at stake. In this study, we aim to replicate this finding using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which enables us to separate affective from cognitive empathy. Thirty accounting professionals completed an emotion observation task during which empathy-related brain activity was recorded. We then explored accountants’ inclination to misreport using empathy-invoking accounting scenarios. We find that the inclination to misreport correlates with activation of cognitive empathy regions, but only for scenarios in which accountants misreport to serve business unit’s interests, rather than managers’ personal interests. We find no evidence for a role of affective empathy.
研究表明,管理会计师在支持业务部门经理决策方面的作用可能会导致他们屈服于经理误报的压力。Eskenazi、Hartmann和Rietdijk(2016)利用脑电图(EEG)证据证明了自动情绪模仿的作用,当管理者的个人利益受到威胁时,情绪模仿会导致误报,而当BU的利益受到威胁则不会。在这项研究中,我们的目标是使用功能性磁共振成像(fMRI)来复制这一发现,这使我们能够区分情感移情和认知移情。30名会计专业人员完成了一项情绪观察任务,记录了与同理心相关的大脑活动。然后,我们通过援引会计情景的同理心来探究会计师误报的倾向。我们发现,误报倾向与认知移情区域的激活相关,但仅适用于会计师误报是为了服务于业务部门的利益,而不是管理者的个人利益的情况。我们没有发现情感移情作用的证据。

We then explored accountants’ inclination to misreport using empathy-invoking accounting scenarios. We find that the inclination to misreport correlates with activation of cognitive empathy regions, but only for scenarios in which accountants misreport to serve business unit’s interests, rather than managers’ personal interests. We find no evidence for a role of affective empathy.","PeriodicalId":46356,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral Research in Accounting","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48676886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to enhance our understanding of the practice of risk management, and specifically how corporate boards fulfill their responsibilities regarding risk oversight. We draw on a theoretical perspective centered on (dis)comfort and 25 interviews with corporate board members and risk management consultants in Canada to present a view of risk management as a set of activities characterized by tension between actions that engender the feeling of discomfort, and a quest for comfort and reassurance. Our findings provide insights that show how, alongside the functionalist underpinnings, comfort-seeking represents a pervasive imperative that profoundly shapes risk management in action.
本研究旨在加深我们对风险管理实践的理解,特别是对公司董事会如何履行其风险监督职责的理解。我们借鉴了以舒适为中心的理论视角,并对加拿大的公司董事会成员和风险管理顾问进行了25次采访,将风险管理视为一系列活动,其特征是产生不适感的行为与寻求舒适和保证之间的紧张关系。我们的研究结果提供了一些见解,表明在功能主义的基础上,寻求安慰是一种普遍的必要性,它深刻地影响了风险管理的行动。
