The effects of auditors’ knowledge, professional skepticism, and perceived adequacy of accounting standards on their intention to use blockchain
This study examines factors that influence auditors’ intention to use blockchain. From the dual-factor perspective, it argues that auditors’ knowledge about the implications of blockchain for auditing enables their intention to use the technology. However, professional skepticism and perceived adequacy of accounting standards present barriers to the use, which reduce the effect of knowledge on use intention. These claims are tested with a survey of 118 auditors in the U.S. The results show that auditors’ knowledge about blockchain is positively associated with their use intention, indicating their optimism about this technology. Their professional skepticism has no effect on intention, but perceived adequacy of accounting standards has a negative effect, which also weakens the effect of blockchain knowledge on intention, revealing the status quo bias in blockchain use. This study extends the literature on the acceptance of blockchain technology by accounting and auditing professionals by showing how the need to improve accounting standards, which are important attributes of their professional judgments, may influence their blockchain use. It has implications for promoting blockchain among auditors.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Accounting Information Systems will publish thoughtful, well developed articles that examine the rapidly evolving relationship between accounting and information technology. Articles may range from empirical to analytical, from practice-based to the development of new techniques, but must be related to problems facing the integration of accounting and information technology. The journal will address (but will not limit itself to) the following specific issues: control and auditability of information systems; management of information technology; artificial intelligence research in accounting; development issues in accounting and information systems; human factors issues related to information technology; development of theories related to information technology; methodological issues in information technology research; information systems validation; human–computer interaction research in accounting information systems. The journal welcomes and encourages articles from both practitioners and academicians.
