Some large public accounting firms that emphasize the business risk audit methodology revised their audit support software to organize audit evidence around business process rather than transaction cycle. These business-process-focused (BPF) systems present client information grouped by value chain activities, while firms that use traditional transaction-cycle-focused (TCF) audit support software might group client information primarily by account classification. Our study examines whether the presentation differences between BPF and TCF audit support software influence auditors' risk judgment during planning-phase analytical procedures. In a field experiment, experienced audit seniors performed analytical procedures on case materials containing a variety of seeded risk factors. One group completed the exercise using software organized around the BPF while the other group used software organized around the TCF. Participants who used the BPF system identified more of the seeded risk conditions and assessed misstatement risk at higher levels than did their counterparts who used the TCF system. These findings provide the experimental evidence that audit support software organized around business processes can influence decision performance while conducting planning-phase analytical procedures.

ABSTRACT Audit delay states the complexity of transactions that occur within a business entity. Many companies have tried to find ways to avoid audit delay conditions in their business processes, one of which is by implementing big data analytics in the company's operational activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of implementing big data analytics on audit delay and several other factors such as company size, company age, company profit and loss, auditor opinion, and reputation of public accounting firms. This study will use empirical data based on publicly traded companies with the 2017-2019 period. The selection for the 2017-2019 period is based on the hypothesis that many companies are starting to apply big data analytics in carrying out their business processes. Big data analytics is projected based on disclosures made by companies. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis, big data analysis has no significant effect. This suggests that the accountant/auditor should consider implementing big data analytics because of its complexity.Keywords: audit delay, big data analytics ABSTRAK Audit delay mengindikasikan adanya kompleksitas transaksi yang terjadi dalam suatu entitas bisnis. Banyak perusahaan yang telah mencoba mencari cara agar terhindar dari kondisi audit delay dalam proses bisnisnya, salah satunya dengan mengimplementasikan big data analytics dalam kegiatan operasional perusahaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh implementasi big dataanalytics terhadap audit delay serta beberapa faktor lainnya seperti ukuran perusahaan, umur perusahaan, laba rugi perusahaan, opini auditor, dan juga reputasi kantor akuntan publik. Penelitian ini akan menggunakan data empiris berdasarkan perusahaan go public dengan periode 2017-2019. Pemilihan periode 2017-2019 didasarkan pada mulai banyaknya perusahaan yang menerapkan big data analytics dalam menjalankan proses bisnisnya. Big data analytics diproyeksikan berdasarkan pengungkapan yang dilakukan perusahaan. Berdasarkan hasil analisis regresi logistik, big data analytics tidak berpengaruh signifikan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa akuntan/auditor harus mempertimbangkan pengimplementasian big data analytics karena terkait dengan kompleksitasnya.Kata kunci: audit delay, big data analytics

ABSTRACT The resources, events, agents (REA) ontology provides rules and guidelines for business process modeling utilizing the value-modeling approach. The core element of this approach is an REA model at the business process level. The REA model is usually governed by an information entity, such as a contract or a schedule. Although the REA model provides all necessary entities and relationships for value modeling, its support for information entity value creation, and its flow to the related process that it will govern, deserves deeper elaboration. The aim of this paper is to examine and propose a solution to information entity value creation within the REA model and its transfer to a related business process in compliance with the REA value chain concept. In order to distinguish standard REA business processes from those in which the information entities are created, these processes are called managing processes.

<p>Sistem informasi dan teknologi informasi (SI/TI) merupakan salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan suatu organisasi. Sebagai contoh, sistem informasi dan teknologi informasi pada salah satu organisasi yang ada yaitu Dinas Perindustrian dan Tenaga Kerja (Dispernaker) Kota Salatiga. Dispernaker dalam menjalankan tugasnya sudah menggunakan SI/TI tetapi penggunaanya belum maksimal, hal ini menyebabkan Dispernaker seringkali menemui masalah. Melihat kondisi masalah tersebut maka dibutuhkan suatu perencanaan strategis SI/TI yang dapat mendukung proses bisnis pada organisasi (dalam hal ini Dispernaker) sedangkan perencanaan strategis sendiri merupakan proses bagaimana organisasi mencapai atau merealisasikan tujuannya. Untuk dapat menerapkan perencanaan strategis yang sesuai dengan organisasi tentu melalui sebuah penelitian. Penelitian tersebut ialah penelitian perencanaan strategis sistem informasi dan teknologi informasi. Penelitian ini sendiri nantinya akan menggunakan metode <em>Ward and Peppard</em> yang dilakukan dengan menganalisis lingkungan bisnis juga lingkungan SI/TI secara internal dan eksternal. Metode tersebut memiliki beberapa analisis, analisis yang digunakan yaitu analisis SWOT, analisis <em>Value chain</em> dan analisis PEST, analisis <em>Five Force Model</em>, analisis <em>McFarlan</em>.

Warren W. Nissley's intense dedication to public accounting led him to crusade for development of schools of accountancy and improvement of education of accountants. Nissley conceived and championed the Bureau for Placements, 1926–1932, which resulted in: public accounting firms recruiting college graduates and developing permanent professional staffs, publishing the first Institute career publication, academic and student awareness of public accounting, and improved quality of college programs and graduates. Nissley's campaign for independent schools of accountancy, 1928–1950, influenced the Institute's committee on education. Many elements of his recommendations may be recognized in the evolution and current developments of accounting education. However, Nissley would continue to express disappointment in the failure to establish separate professional, graduate level, schools of accountancy for public accounting.
