چکیده

جهانی‌شدن فرآیندی است که منجر به تخصیص بهینه منابع در سطح بین‌المللی شده و امکان توسعه جهانی را فراهم آورده است. در همین راستا نیاز به اطلاعات جهت اخذ تصمیمات اقتصادی، ضرورتی انکارناپذیر است که اعتباردهی و اطمینان‌بخشی به این اطلاعات قسمتی از این فرآیند است. بر این اساس، انتظار می­ رود پذیرش استانداردهای بین­ المللی گزارشگری مالی اثرات گسترده ­ای بر حرفه حسابرسی داشته باشد، زیرا پذیرش استانداردهای بین ­المللی گزارشگری مالی سبب می­ شود تا گزارش­ های حسابرسی به قضاوت حرفه‌ای بیشتری نیاز داشته باشند و حسابرسان با استفاده از مبنای ارزش منصفانه، اظهارنظر مستقل­ تری ارائه نمایند. پژوهش حاضر اثر پذیرش استانداردهای بین­ المللی گزارشگری مالی را بر حوزه­ های دانش حسابرسی به‌ طور مروری مورد بررسی قرار داده است. یافته‌های این پژوهش نشان می­ دهد که پذیرش استانداردهای بین­ المللی گزارشگری مالی بر حوزه­ های مختلفی از حسابرسی از جمله حق­ الزحمه حسابرسی، انتخاب حسابرس، کمیته حسابرسی، تخصص­ گرایی در صنعت و تأخیر گزارش حسابرسی اثر دارد. آگاهی از این یافته­ ها می‌تواند علاوه بر تبیین چالش­ های پیش­رو حرفه حسابرسی، حرفه را مجهزتر کرده و سبب شود تا حرفه از آمادگی لازم در مواجه با چنین تغییراتی برخوردار شود.
