چکیده

دولت‌ها و نهادهای نظارتی مدام در تلاش برای بهبود کیفیت و رقابت در حسابرسی هستند و حسابرسی مشترک یکی از راه‌های دست‌یابی به این هدف می‌باشد. هرچند حسابرسی مشترک چندین دهه است که در کشورهای متعددی به‌کار گرفته شده لیکن در ایران کمتر مورد استفاده قرار‌ گرفته است. با توجه به این‌که ساز ‌و‌ کار قانونی برای حسابرسی مشترک در ایران وجود دارد، چرایی عدم اجرای آن توسط مؤسسه‌های حسابرسی در این پژوهش مورد سؤال قرار می‌گیرد. این‌ پژوهش در‌صدد است علل و موانع عدم توسعه‌ی حسابرسی مشترک در ایران را مورد بررسی قرار دهد. برای دست‌یابی به این هدف، الگوی مفهومی و 29سوال‌ پژوهش طراحی گردید. با استفاده از روش گلوله‌ برفی  پرسش‌نامه‌ای برای اعضای منتخب جامعه حسابداران رسمی ایران ارسال و 127پاسخ دریافت شد. سپس داده‌های پژوهش با استفاده از روش‌های آماری مقایسه‌ی میانگین‌ها ( آزمون t تک‌نمونه‌ای و دو‌نمونه‌ای) و کای‌دو آزمون گردید و آزمون فریدمن نیز جهت بررسی یکسان ‌بودن اولویت‌بندی استفاده شد. با توجه به نتایج به دست‌آمده، به ترتیب قوانین و مقررات حاکم بر مؤسسه‌های حسابرسی، ساختار و ویژگی‌های فرهنگی کشور، پژوهش‌های ناکافی و عدم آشنایی با حسابرسی مشترک، عدم هماهنگی بین مؤسسه‌های حسابرسی، مسائل مربوط به بازار‌کار حسابرسی و عدم‌قطعیت آن، عدم‌تمایل و اعتماد به توسعه‌ی حسابرسی بخش خصوصی و کاهش کیفیت و استقلال حسابرس به عنوان موانع توسعه‌ی حسابرسی مشترک در ایران شناسایی گردید. بررسی تاثیر عوامل شخصی و محیطی پاسخ‌دهندگان بر نوع نگرش آنها نسبت به موانع حسابرسی مشترک نشان می‌دهد که نوع اشتغال پاسخ‌دهندگان بر نگرش آنها نسبت به موانع اثر گذاشته است.

چکیده [English]

The joint audit is one of the ways in which governments and regulators are constantly striving to improve the quality as well as competition in auditing. The joint audit has been used in many countries for a long period of time but has not been used in Iran. Although there are legal mechanisms for joint audits in Iran, its non-implementation by audit firms is considered in this study. Therefore, the research intends to examine the causes and obstacles to the lack of development of joint audits in Iran. A conceptual model and 29 research questions were designed. A questionnaire was sent to selected members of the IACPA using the snowball method and 127 responses were received. The obtained data was analyzed using statistical methods of comparing means (one-sample and two-sample tests), the Chi-square as well as the Friedman test. The results indicated that the barriers to joint audits included the laws governing audit firms, structure and cultural characteristics of the country, insufficient research and unfamiliarity with joint auditing, non-coordination of audit firms with each other, issues related to the audit market and its uncertainty, reluctance and distrust in the development of private sector auditing and reducing audit quality and auditor independence. Analysis of respondents’ demographic factors and their attitudes toward joint audit barriers showed that respondents' employment factors influenced their attitudes toward barriers.
