Internal Auditing in India and China: Some Empirical Evidence and Issues for Research
基于印度和中国首席审计执行官的数据，研究了内部审计的支持程度及其决定因素，并与美国对比，发现对审计师施压会削弱支持，还描述了审计职能的工作与人员配置。
Internal auditing is an important element in the corporate governance framework. Yet, research related to internal auditing, particularly in emerging economies like India and China, is sparse. We use data from responses provided by chief audit executives to provide empirical evidence about the extent of support for internal auditing and the determinants of such support in India and China, and compare the data with those from the United States. We find that such support is negatively related to pressure on internal auditors to suppress or alter their findings. We also provide descriptive evidence about the work and staffing of the internal audit function. We discuss the role of internal auditing in India and identify some possible avenues for future research.
