The main purpose of this study is to explain the effect of confirmation bias on audit error and also to explain the moderating role of client characteristics (market value and institutional shareholder ownership) and auditor (industry specialist auditor and first-class stock exchange trusted auditor) on the relationship between them. For this purpose, a sample consisting of 1168 firm-year from listed firms on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2012-2020, is collected and analyzed. The results show that confirmation bias has a positive effect on type I audit error and type II audit error. The results also show that the positive effects of confirmation bias on type I audit error and type II audit error are less for clients with high market value, high institutional ownership percentage, and audits performed by industry specialist auditors and first-class stock exchange trusted auditors. The findings of this research could lead to development of theoretical foundations in auditing field, especially audit judgment and audit risk assessment. Further, the study results suggest additional training targeted at mitigating auditors’ use of heuristics may be beneficial.

Audit planning is associated with auditing risk assessment. The purpose of this study is to assess audit risk using a data mining approach Based on neural networks in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange that has been during the years 2017 to 2019, based on data taken from 90 companies. EXCEL software has been used to sort the data and MATLAB software has been used to analyze the research findings and codify each of the algorithms used. To assess the audit risk, the strength of each model was assessed through the neural network dialog. First, in this study artificial neural network method was used and then combine it with a particle cluster optimization algorithm. Then, in order to compare the prediction results, the mean error percentage, mean absolute error value, squared mean square error and correlation coefficient were used. The results showed that the combined model has a higher predictive power.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction of auditors to Earnings volatility, for which the effect of earnings fluctuations on the audit report lag and auditing fees of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange was investigated.In this study, to test the hypotheses, the required information related to the research variables was collected from the financial statements of 150 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period 1390 to 1399. To test the two research hypotheses, two multivariate regression models with panel data using random effects method were used.The findings of the test of research hypotheses indicate that in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, Earnings volatility has a significant positive effect on the audit report lag. Also, the research findings showed that Earnings volatility also have an effect on audit fees. Positive has meaning. The results indicate that in Tehran Stock Exchange, with the increase of Earnings volatility, the audit report lag increases. In fact, as profit volatility increases, the inherent risk of auditing increases, and auditors will conduct more content tests to reduce overall risk. Performing more tests by auditors will also increase the delay in submitting the audit report. The results also showed that with increasing Earnings volatility, the audit fee increases. As profit fluctuations increase audit risk, auditors should also be more diligent in their audit process, so increasing Earnings volatility leads to increased audit fees.

Audit fee is a measure of auditor's economic dependence on clients which its assessment and determination requires a focus on the auditor's effort and related risks. This study analyzed the relationships between audit fee and audit risk in confronting with restatement and financial distress conditions. Statistical samples include 127 firms listed in Tehran Securities & Exchange during the March 2012 to March 2020 . The findings indicate that financial distress as a measure of client’s business risk has a significant and positive effect on audit fee; also, restatement of financial statements as a measure of audit risk has a significant and positive effect on audit fee. These results document that both those potential risk factors play a decisive role in determining audit fees. The results indicate that financial restatement and financial distress as potential risk factors can affect auditors' perceived risk and this event leads to change in auditors' behavior and change in audit fees. In client firms facing to financial restatement and financial distress, auditors assess the risk as high and , try to increase audit efforts, which in turn increases the audit fee. It was also theoretically argued that in distressed firms, financial restatement could be a more serious signal of perceived audit risk and change auditors' behavior by increasing the audit effort to identify material misstatement that would increase audit fees. Contrary to expectations, however, no significant evidence was found to confirm the stronger impact of audit risk on audit fees in firms facing to financial distress.

Risk-based auditing seeks to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of auditing, which can be seen as a process of identifying and reporting the risk of significant distortions in financial statements. . The purpose of this study is to evaluate the audit risk under the influence of corporate social responsibility disclosure. For this purpose, The audit risk assessment test is influenced by the concepts of corporate social responsibility. This study was conducted with 87 sample companies in a period of 7 years, 2012-2018, including 609 years, in a descriptive-correlational manner, with the implementation of a multivariate regression model. Then, by asking questions in pairs and hierarchical analysis (AHP), the importance of audit risk criteria was determined. The findings show that there is a significant negative relationship between disclosure of social responsibility and audit risk.The findings show that there is a significant negative relationship between disclosure of social responsibility and audit risk.

earning volatility، which indicates the degree of uncertainty of corporate earnings; One of the factors affecting the audit risk is known and according to research، has a positive role in determining the audit fee. The purpose of this study is to answer the question of whether auditors claim only a premium risk that is not related to the extra effort or due to more effort، they consider themselves entitled to receive a higher fee، or a combination of both factors is involved in this case simultaneously.

The present study is descriptive-correlational study، in terms of purpose applied and using a Ex-Post Facto approach. It is a period from 2014 to 2018 that after screening، the population is limited to 970 firms-years. In this study، using the concurrency estimation approach، the competitor hypotheses of the relationship between earning volatility and lag in the audit report on the one hand and its relationship with the audit fee on the other hand have been investigated.

A significant relationship was observed between earning volatility and audit fees. But no significant relationship was observed between earning volatility and audit report lag. The findings only show that the relationship between earning volatility and audit fees is strengthened in cases where the audit report is issued lag. There was also evidence of a significant positive relationship between audit report lag and audit fees.

Auditors who issue an audit report with more time، without necessarily delay in reporting be response to earning volatility، are only claiming more risk premium.

 The contribution of this study to the development of the existing literature is to explain the distinction between audit fees and audit report lag in reflecting the overall audit risk and to introduce earning volatility as representing the auditor's understanding of inherent risk.

The purpose of this study is to explain the model of auditor trust in the client with an emphasis on pathology and presenting a strategy using a qualitative research method and grounded theory approach. This study was conducted in 1398 by conducting 12 in-depth interviews with partners of auditing institutes, members of the Iranian Society of Certified Public Accountants and the Audit and Management Organization of Corporations. The findings showed that: The most important consequence of the auditor's trust in the auditor is increased audit risk, increased litigation, decreased audit quality and reporting quality, damage to the audit profession, and ultimately reduced social trust. According to the experts, the most important solutions to the problems mentioned are a clarification of laws and standards, supervision and support of competent authorities, focus of the audit market, quality control, restructuring of audit institutions, improvement of cultural conditions, the effectiveness of audit committees.

Qualitative research has identified numerous indicators of audit committee effectiveness having not already enacted in current regulations and requirements related to the audit committee. In the first step, this study investigates the viewpoints of independent auditors to achieve key indicators of audit committee effectiveness. In the second step of the study, it deals with the relationship between the effectiveness of the audit committee based on the list of independent auditors (resulting from the first step of the research) and the effectiveness of the audit committee based on legal requirements with audit risk from the perspective of partners and managers of audit firms. Logistic regression is used. Based on the results, there is a significant negative relationship between audit committee characteristics based on statutory requirements and audit risk. There is also a negative significant relationship between audit committee characteristics based on the list of auditors and audit risk. However, in low-risk companies, the ratio of effectiveness of audit committee-based features to a selected list of auditors was about twice that of high-risk firms. It can be stated that independent auditors get more attention to the characteristics of an effective audit committee based on the list of auditors selected than to the list of statutory requirements in assessing customer audit risk.

Linguistic features of information provided by business unit management could facilitate the goals of the transmission of economic facts. In recent years, these characteristics have always been considered in research in the field of accounting and behavioral finance. Therefore, this study seeks to examine the effect of financial reporting tone on audit fees. The sample consists of 63 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange for the period from 2012 to 2019. Financial reporting tone is measured using the model introduced by Muhammad et al (2019). Also, a natural logarithm is used to measure audit fees. The data are analyzed and the hypotheses are tested based on the multivariate regression model and panel data. The findings show that financial reporting tone has a significant negative effect on audit fees. In other words, if the financial reporting tone conveys an optimistic tone, the audit fee will be less. Results indicate that financial reporting tone reflects factors that auditors consider in assessing audit risk.

Audit report and its on-time issuance has information content for users. In this research, the relationship between the accounting information comparability as a qualitative feature of financial information has been tested with the audit delay and audit opinion. To measure accounting comparability, the Defranco et al. Model (2011) has been used. . In order to investigate the issue, a sample of 115 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange between 2014 -2018 (575 company-year) was selected and data were analyzed by panel method using regression analysis. The results of the research shows that there is a negative and meaningful relationship between the accounting comparability and audit delay and the number of explanatory paragraphs in the audit report. This conclusion can be interpreted in terms of inherent audit risk and information efficiency, since it reduces the audit risk and information acquisition costs. In short, the comparability of accounting information improves the usefulness of accounting information for independent auditors and improves the audit quality.

Auditing is considered as an effective way to limit the powers of managers in contractual relations. The financial statements also provide much of the information needed by the company's investors and creditors. If the information contained in these reports is not of the required quality and is complex, the risk of auditing increases. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between audit quality and audit risk. The statistical population of this study is the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and to achieve the purpose of the research, by applying filtering, the data of 163 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and in the period 2011-2019 using multivariate linear regression are reviewed and analyzed. Findings showed that audit quality has a negative and significant relationship with audit risk. In other words, as the quality of the audit increases, so does the audit risk. Findings of this research develop the literature related to the quality of financial reporting and consequently the audit process and risk and finally the quality of auditing.

According to the Auditing Standards، the entity may attempt to disclosing financial and non-financial information about its operation، and the auditor is required to evaluate this information. Social responsibility performance is typically included in this regard، and the independent auditor should attention to such specific information in adequately assessing audit risk. The primary purpose of this academic paper is to promptly investigate the possible relationship between social responsibility disclosure and audit risk in the Tehran Stock Exchange. In this regard، the content analysis method is used to measure social responsibility disclosure، and audit risk is calculated by the audit fees. To examine the hypotheses، Based on a sample of 93 firms data are gathered covering the period 2012–2019 applies ordinary least squares regression (OLS). We subsequently observe a direct association between social responsibility disclosure and audit risk. This relationship is confirmed in a sensitivity analysis employing panel methods with random effects as well as generalized least squares. Expanding the disclosure of social responsibility may end in the higher audit risk; hence، audit fees increase. This issue warns users of financial statements، including investors، that attention to not only the positive aspects of social responsibility disclosure in Iran forgetting social responsibility disclosure can be used as a mechanism to conceal poor performance.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the debt leverage and the audit fees in the Tehran Stock Exchange. We considered the impact of the operating and financial liability leverage variables. In addition, the existing association between the mentioned variables and the audit fees was examined.

In this research, the statistical population is 113 firms during the periods of 2011 to 2018 years. We used the multivariate regression to examine the relationship between research variables.

Considering the results, the total debt leverage, the financial leverage, and the estimated operating liability leverage have positive and significant nexus with the audit fees. The high liability leverage increases the risk of client failure and the risk of auditor litigation; the auditors react to these risks and increase audit fees. Also there is no tie between changes in all debt leverages and changes in audit fees. The additional tests in study show that the higher level of total debt leverage and the financial leverage in small and large firms raise the audit fees. Since the financial leverage in situation of financial distress is high, the auditors with higher fees decrease the audit risk. Based on the results we can see there is also a positive and significant link between the total debt leverage, the financial leverage, and the estimated operating liability leverage with the abnormal audit fees. As well, the delay's relationship in presentation of the audit report as a measure of the auditor's effort with their interactive effect with leverage has no influence on the audit fees.

This article investigated the Distinction between different types of leverages in audit studies. The results show this paper adds to the existing literature in the accounting and auditing context, particularly, agency theory field. As the higher debt leverage has relation with lower-quality earnings and the higher-risk audit, the conflict of interest occurs between the shareholders and the managers. The auditors have the important role in resolving this conflict of interest by examing the financial statements. According to the findings of this study, it can be suggested that recognizing the different sources of leverages and the distinction between financial and operating leverage is important in auditing research, especially audit fee models. Therefore, the clients and audit firms interested in estimating the audit fees accurately can utilize the appropriate model, that is, this study has provided a unique insight into the literature in the context of audit fees

The purpose of this study is to review the theoretical and experimental literature on the impact of macroeconomic conditions on auditing risk. Since the Iranian economy has faced many instabilities in recent years, addressing the subject of the present study in identifying and understanding the need to design an audit process appropriate to the macroeconomic conditions governing the company's operating environment can be important. It is argued that adverse economic conditions with a direct impact on the company's operating environment can increase the incentives for distortion and fraud in financial statements. As a result, auditors should design or redesign auditing processes in terms of the method and nature of content tests in accordance with specific economic conditions, taking into account macroeconomic conditions.

This research aimed to raise awareness of the fundamental questions regarding cost of research and development as powerful instrument for profit management in business cycle and economic fluctuations, and that this may affect audit fees. This study examined the relationship between cost of R&D and cost of audit services in firms listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange. Also, this research assessed the effects of profit management on the relationship between R&D and audit services costs.
The study sample includes 48 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period 2004 to 2015. Multiple regression method was used to test the research hypotheses, regarding panel data processing approach. Findings showed that R&D costs have significant positive relationship with audit fees. Additionally, earnings management strengthens such a relationship. Finally, this supports increasingly the hypothesis that corporate executives to do earnings management expand capital costs or spend research and development funds in recurrent costs.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between CEO tenure and financial expertise and audit fees. Using samples of firms (129 firms) in the Tehran Stock Exchange, the results show that, from 2008 to 2015 there’s a positive significant relationship between CEO tenure and audit fees. That is, longer CEO tenure is associated with higher audit fees. Also, we find a negative association between CEO’s financial expertise and audit fees. This finding shows that those firms the CEOs of which have financial expertise pay lower audit fees, compared to the other firms. In addition, the results of the research extra analysis shows that the simultaneous effects of financial expertise and CEO tenure have a significant negative on audit fee. This result indicates that CEO’s financial expertise is one of the important factors for the auditors in evaluating the audit risk

Related-party transactions may violate the assumption of normal market transactions. This will distort the reliability and authentic reflection of accounting data, which will consequently aggravate the customer’s business risk by auditor. Therefore, related-party transactions will probably increase the cost of audit services. On the other hand, audit costs will be lower for companies making related-party transactions. That is because auditors tend to have less difficulty in examining such transactions than those made with third parties. This study is intended to provide evidence about the effect of related-party transaction on the cost of audit services. It is also explored the interactive effect of product market competition on the relationship between related-party transaction and the cost of audit services. The research hypotheses are tested through data from 112 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) during 2007-2015. Moreover, the data are analyzed and the hypotheses are tested based on the multivariate regression model and panel data. The results indicates that there is a significantly positive relationship between related-party transactions and the cost of audit services. Meanwhile, product market competition does not mitigate such relationship

This paper investigates the relation of managerial ability to audit fees and going concern opinions of some firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) from 1382 to 1392. In order to measure the managerial ability, the management scores defined by the two-stage DEA model of Demerjian et al. (2012) have been used. Moreover, audit fees and going concern opinions have been considered as audit risk. The sample consists of 1,034 firm-year observations from 94 unique firms. OLS and Logistic regressions have been used to test hypotheses. The results show that any increase in managerial ability decreases audit fees and likelihood of going concern opinion. Generally, the findings support the notion that the managerial ability is relevant to auditors’ decisions. This evidence is particularly important because there is a paucity of empirical evidence on the relation between managerial characteristics and auditors’ decisions.
