Assessment Instructions
Conduct a literature review to
identify current trends in research about the "audit expectation
gap" in financial statement auditing. Your literature review
does not have to identify every possible research trend in this area. You
can choose to focus on one particular strand of research relating to the audit
expectations gap if you have the literature to support your
discussion. Alternately, you can discuss more than one trend with the
support of your identified research articles.
Your literature review should
contain from five to eight articles from academic (not professional body)
journals. Your journal articles should include original research and not
be published literature reviews or a synthesis of the literature.
