Consistent with our predictions, we find that the 10-K accelerations reduced audit quality only when it actually reduced the number of days from year-end to audit report date, and that this effect was more acute for smaller, accelerated filers and during the initial deadline change (relative to the second). We also provide insights into the quality of these audits by conducting a survey of thirty-two retired audit partners. Survey results underscore the challenges time pressure imposes on receiving and evaluating complex valuations (such as for derivatives, pensions, and goodwill) and resolving audit adjustments.}, journal={Accounting, Organizations and Society}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Lambert, Tamara A. and Jones, Keith L. and Brazel, Joseph F. and Showalter, D.

If auditors or other interested parties (e.g., directors, lenders, investors, or regulators) can identify NFMs (e.g., facilities growth) that are correlated with financial measures (e.g., revenue growth), inconsistent patterns between the NFMs and financial measures can be used to detect firms with high fraud risk. We find that the difference between financial and nonfinancial performance is significantly greater for firms that committed fraud than for their nonfraud competitors. We also find that this difference is a significant fraud indicator when included in a model containing variables that have previously been linked to the likelihood of fraud. Overall, our results provide empirical evidence suggesting that NFMs can be effectively used to assess fraud risk.}, number={5}, journal={JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTING RESEARCH}, author={Brazel, Joseph F. and Jones, Keith L. and Zimbelman, Mark F.}, year={2009}, month={Dec}, pages={1135–1166} } @article{brazel_agoglia_2007, title={An examination of auditor planning judgements in a complex accounting information system environment}, volume={24}, ISSN={["1911-3846"]}, DOI={10.1506/car.24.4.1}, abstractNote={Contemporary Accounting ResearchVolume 24, Issue 4 p. 1059-1083 An Examination of Auditor Planning Judgements in a Complex Accounting Information System Environment* Joseph F.

While audit workpaper preparers typically know they will be reviewed, and know the form their review will take, prior research has focused on comparing the judgments of auditors who expect to be reviewed with auditors who expect to remain anonymous. This study examines the effects on preparers of using two different methods of review: face-to-face and electronic review. The study also compares both review groups to a no-review control group. Consistent with the Heuristic-Systematic Model, we find that the method of review affects preparer effectiveness and efficiency. Specifically, preparers anticipating a face-to-face review are more concerned with audit effectiveness, produce higher quality judgments, are less efficient at their task, are less likely to be influenced by prior year workpapers, and feel more accountable than preparers in both the electronic review and no-review conditions. Interestingly, electronic review preparers generally do not differ from the no-review group. These results suggest that how a review will be conducted, and not merely the expectation that a review will occur, affects the decision-maker's judgments and perceptions.}, number={4}, journal={ACCOUNTING REVIEW}, author={Brazel, JF and Agoglia, CR and Hatfield, RC}, year={2004}, month={Oct}, pages={949–966} }
