Model of Mind Mapping to Compilation of Audit Report

Auditing is a judgmental process that requires the professional judgments of auditors in both the performance and reporting stages. Psychological theories (dual code theory and load theory) state that visual information can make better judgments and decisions than its linear functions (states) by stimulating the nonlinear functions of the human brain. Thus, in the present study, the mental mapping model based on the above-mentioned psychological theories has been analyze to compile the audit report using statistical tests such as binomial test, t-test, Kolmogorov test and Friedman test. In order to design a mind mapping model, 53 independent auditors and academic experts were surveyed in 2020 to first extract data related to the main factors influencing reporting and then to use it to develop and design a mind mapping model. The model of mind map extracted and compiled in the present study can be use as an effective tool in compiling the auditorchr('39')s report as a desirable and reliable adjustment of the audit report.
