Riset Eksperimental Pengauditan: Evolusi Dan Topik Kontemporer

Behavioral research in accounting is paying more attention to auditing issue since auditing relies heavily on judgment and decision making process. This article describes the development of experimental auditing research and identifies the potentials for contemporary research by documenting the International article from the 1970s to 2000s. This article is organized into the following sections. After the introductory part, it discusses the nature of experimental auditing research (EAP), the evolution of International EAP, topics of contemporary EAP, and the development of EAP in Indonesia. Based on the analysis of International EAP articles, we suggest that future research focuses on risk-based auditing, modes of presentation of audit information, fraud risk assessment, analytical procedure, interaction between auditors and clients (negotiation and agreement) and interaction between auditors with their auditor counterparts (brainstorming).Keywords: experimental auditing research, experimental method, auditing---Bidang pengauditan menjadi salah satu topik yang menarik dalam riset keperilakuan dalam akuntansi karena bidang ini banyak menggunakan judgment maupun keputusan. Tulisan ini mendeskripsikan evolusi perkembangan riset eksperimental pengauditan dan mengidentifikasi peluang riset kontemporer. Sumber tulisan adalah berbagai riset eksperimental pengauditan yang dipublikasikan secara Internasional dari tahun 1970-an sampai 2000-an. Tulisan ini terbagi dalam beberapa bagian: hakikat riset eksperimental pengauditan (REP), evolusi perkembangan REP Internasional, topik kontemporer REP, dan perkembangan REP di Indonesia. Berdasarkan penelusuran berbagai REP di level Internasional, maka REP yang bisa dikembangkan pada masa yang akan datang antara lain dalam konteks pengauditan berbasis risiko, cara penyajian informasi pengauditan, penaksiran fraud, prosedur analitis, interaksi antara klien dengan auditor (negosiasi dan perjanjian), dan interaksi auditor dengan auditor (brainstorming)

Efek Tipe Kecurangan Dan Anonimitas Terhadap Keputusan Investigasi Auditor Internal Atas Tuduhan Whistleblowing

A number of factors affects the effectiveness of whistleblowing system, such as the whistleblower, the wrongdoer, and other relevant parties. However, whistleblowing literature, so far, seems to attend more on whistleblowers' perspectives. Little is known about aspects from recipient perspectives, especially the effect of psychological biases that can seriously damage the effectiveness of the system. This study extend the whistleblowing literature by experimentally investigating how the fraud type and anonymity influence the recipient decision making process. The results show that internal auditor (as recipient) has lower probability to respond to fraudulent earning management allegation than to that of asset misappropriation. In regard to the anonymity effect, this research is consistent with prior studies in that anonymity provides less credible information for fraud allegation. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of type of fraud as contextual factor that determine the whistleblowing effectiveness from recipient perspectives

Peranan Feedback Dalam Mengoptimalkan Pelatihan Penugasan Review Pengendalian Intern: Eksperimen Dengan Kerangka Teori Kognitif

Based on cognitive theory, this study aims to compare between outcome feedback and explanatory feedback in the acquiring of internal control review task knowledge and performance. Both of feedbacks serve different review mechanism, so it will influence auditor's judgment process. This study uses experimental method, involving undergraduate accounting students as participants as a proxy for inexperienced auditors. The result implies that training should enhance the optimum knowledge acquisition because the appropriateness of training method will encourage optimum auditor's performance in internal control review.Keywords: internal control knowledge, internal control review task performance, outcome feedback, explanatory feedback, cognitive theory---Berdasarkan teori kognitif, penelitian ini membandingkan tingkat pemerolehan pengetahuan dan capaian kinerja penugasan review pengendalian intern antara metode outcome feedback dengan explanatory feedback. Kedua jenis feedback tersebut menyediakan mekanisme telaah yang berbeda sehingga keduanya akan memengaruhi proses judgment auditor. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dan melibatkan mahasiswa jurusan akuntansi sebagai proksi auditor tidak berpengalaman. Hasil penelitian mengimplikasikan pelatihan seharusnya berupaya mengoptimalkan pemerolehan pengetahuan sebab ketepatan metode pelatihan akan mengoptimalkan kinerja auditor dalam melaksanakan penugasan review pengendalian intern
