Audit Procedures in Accounting Estimates and Tax Effects in Financial Statements

Authors

Keywords
audit procedures, point estimate, accounting estimates, professional judgment, tax effects

Summary
Executives in enterprises make judgments in a number of cases when giving accounting estimates. In order not to mislead information users, those judgments must be reasonable and consistent with circumstances. As a result of the uncertainties inherent to operating activities, a lot of entries in financial statements cannot be assessed precisely but can only be given a rough estimate. The latter is based on the reliable information available. Conducted audit procedures are therefore essential in order to express an opinion as to the reliability of executives’ judgments. This paper aims to define the major dependencies between accounting estimates and requirements related to auditors’ professional judgment. The focus of research is on reducing information asymmetries in reporting accounting estimates and their tax treatment.
