Sustainability assurance research is still in its early stages and many important questions remain unanswered. According to Ulrike Thuerheimer (assistant professor in accounting at the University of Amsterdam) directions for future research include: • How do financial statement and sustainability audits interact? • What team characteristics matter? • How do materiality concepts differ between the financial statement and sustainability audits? • How does limited assurance differ from reasonable assurance concerning sustainability? • How to measure the quality of sustainability reporting (and assurance), possibly with the help of AI? • What is the impact of (changes in) European regulation? • What are cross-country differences in what parties are allowed to provide sustainability assurance? • How will the market and auditors react to future enforcement cases? Ulrike underlines the importance of FAR in helping to get access to relevant data. This video is an addition to Ulrike’s FARview podcast that was published last July: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsTz2AFlpSc FAR also recently published a booklet with 5 summaries of interesting articles on sustainability assurance. Here’s a link to the pdf of the publication: https://lnkd.in/eUCQnv6c There is also a Dutch version available: https://lnkd.in/eMc64NVK

FARview Pitch: Hoe ervaart de accountant steun vanuit de auditcommissie?
Hoe kan een auditcommissie het accountantscontroleteam ondersteunen? Waardoor voelen accountants zich het meest gesteund? Wat zijn de gevolgen van die steun op het gebied van professional skepticism? En maakt het iets uit wie de steun vanuit de auditcommissie communiceert? Op die vragen geeft het onderzoek van Joe Brazel, Anna Gold, Justin Leiby en Tammie Schaefer een antwoord. Anna Gold (hoogleraar Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) belicht in deze pitch twee onderzoeken die samen de basis vormen van het FAR-project ‘How do audit committees support audit engagement teams and encourage professional skepticism’. Het gaat om een survey en een experiment. In de survey is onderzocht in welke mate en op welke manieren auditcommissies support bieden aan auditteams. In het experiment is onderzocht of support van de auditcommissie de professioneel-kritische houding van de accountant vergroot en of het verschil maakt wie (de voorzitter van de auditcommissie of de partner) de support richting het controleteam communiceert. De bevindingen van de survey laten onder andere zien dat in ongeveer de helft van de controleopdrachten het controleteam ondersteuning ervaart vanuit de auditcommissie. Die ondersteuning wordt vooral gecommuniceerd door de partner of manager van het team. Veel respondenten geven overigens aan nooit informatie te ontvangen over steun van de auditcommissie. Bijna 70 procent van de deelnemers zegt in het geval van support vooral ‘emotionele steun’ te hebben ervaren (waarbij de auditcommissie bijvoorbeeld interesse toont in de bevindingen, beschikbaar is voor vergaderingen en begrip toont voor moeilijkheden). Andere vormen van steun worden in mindere mate gevoeld (bijvoorbeeld het mogelijk maken van samenwerking met het bestuur en het delen van inzichten over de klant). De resultaten van het experiment suggereren dat het communiceren van steun vanuit de auditcommissie de accountant kan helpen om professioneel-kritisch te handelen bij een cliënt met een onvriendelijke houding ten opzichte van de accountant. Het maakt daarbij niet uit wie de support vanuit de auditcommissie communiceert. Het communiceren van steun vanuit de auditcommissie helpt dus de accountant!
