摘要
A model is proposed for examining the effects of audit task complexity on audit judgment performance. The model is developed from a review of literatures in accounting, management, and psychology. Seven testable propositions are derived. Using the model, previous audit judgment research on ratio analysis and going-concern evaluations is reanalyzed to examine the relation between task complexity and judgment performance, while controlling for the possible interactive effects of skill. For these tasks, increases in (task complexity/skill) are related to decreases in judgment performance. However, for the ratio analysis task, this relation is driven primarily by skill.
