AN EVALUATION OF USERS’ PERCEPTION OF AUDIT SERVICE QUALITY AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This study focuses on evaluation of the effects of audit service quality on users’ credibility perception of audited financial statements and their use for economic decision -making in Nigeria. The analysis of data collected by way of opinions survey of auditees, investors and lenders revealed that post-audit reports of fraud in organisations and the general notion that audit was a mere annual routine to comply with statutory requirements had led to awareness by users of financial statements, of audit service quality differences among audit firms. The resultant consequence was the discriminatory selection and engagement of qualitydifferentiated audit firms by auditee qouted companies which patronize money and capital markets, using audit firm size, reputation, competence, independence etc as quality service surrogates. It is also noted that investors and lenders preferred and perceived as more credible financial statements audited by such quality -differentiated audit firms for use in economic decisionmaking. It concludes by suggesting inter-alia, closer monitoring of public accounting firms for quality standard and annual peer review of audit firms as a basis of renewal of practising licence; encouragement of large partnership and engagement of small audit firms by big quoted companies to afford them the experience, growth and financial strength with which to achieve independence and competence necessary for quality service. iv Many thanks to my brother-in-Islam Al-Sayyidi Mashood Salaudeen whose path I toed unregrettably in both academics and faith.
