Abstract

This paper aims to explore the impact of quantitative entries on the development of tax examination by applying the Audit Office's quality of performance control criteria to satisfy the relevant parties, as the source of the audit report is the Audit Office, which begins with the communication process, and affects the tax inspector's perceptions with the degree of trust and credibility of the source, through the external audit office's awareness of its duties towards the tax examination through a quantitative approach, and all this through conducting a theoretical study and testing the research hypotheses by conducting a field study based on 173 samples from the study population, using multiple regression methods, the researcher concluded the importance of applying a clear approach that addresses the various dimensions of quantitative measurement to recognize the quality of performance, the credibility of the auditor's report, through a proposed quantifiable entrance, its inputs are a set of variables affecting the quality of the audit office, And its outputs reflect the quality level in order to achieve the objectives of the relevant parties - the tax examiner - and the expected objectives of the audit office's quality.

1. Introduction

The rapid growth in the global economic environment has greatly and effectively increased the importance of the earnings management study (EM) due to the growing need for reliable and transparent financial information, which helps external users improve their understanding of the company's future performance. However, EM is considered an opportunist, if managers act innovatively with accounting figures for purposes other than those related to improving honest reporting ¹, Financial records are the primary source of information on the financial stability, economic activity and financial health of any business. Therefore, the information provided in the misleading financial reports, whether unintentional error or deliberate activity to conceal information about the actual economic activity and financial stability of the company has a negative impact on all stakeholders, and is a violation of applicable legislation. ², so The way in which relevant information and earnings quality are communicated to external users to help them better understand the company's current or future performance ¹.

Accounting communications relay on the users of the communication process, either from the auditors' views on the financial statements or from that of other beneficiaries, The external auditor affects the decisions of users of financial reports, such as the relationship between the external auditor and the zakat examiner ³, that's why the need in this study to know the effect of applying a quantitative approach on a set of variables that differ in performance and affect the quality of the audit office, which is reflected adversely or positively on the audit office and as a result on the tax examination, and The rest of this paper is organized as follow: the second section presents our literature review and hypotheses development. In addition, the third Section describes our methodology.

The current treatment of tax examination is inappropriate with money companies due to their large size, multiple operations, long time, complexity of procedures and increased burdens, As a result of the accumulation of years of tax accounting, some cases were subject to a statute of limitations, thus delaying the availability of renewed State revenue, hence the need for a quantitative approach that reduces the cost of the proceeds, eliminates tax arrears, maintains the stability of financial and legal positions for financiers, and creates an investment climate, This research contribution aims to assist the tax examiner in judging the quality of the audit office through a set of indicators on which this proposed quantitative model is built.

2. Literature Review and Hypothesis Development

Many studies have addressed standards, components and entry points that affect audit quality control standards as a tool that helps beneficiaries understand the role of the external audit office. The objective of the Drojalast study is to examine the continuous scrutiny of the digital age from the perspective of the audit company's employees, as well as the techniques that can be used to implement it. The sample consisted of 105 individuals working in Greece's largest audit institutions. The data were analyzed through multiple regression. This study found that technological advances are indispensable for creating an effective digital audit system. (Drogalas et al. 2020), also, Matrood study aims to provide factors that affect the quality of the external auditor's performance in Iraqi auditing companies. It is an analytical study that conducted a survey of 102 questionnaires distributed to a number of audit offices in Iraq. Reaching the need for audit offices to abide to the quality control system (peer review) and to be completely independent from the customer, thus, encourage trust in the auditor's report by all sides transacting with the entity. (Matrood et al. 2019), Martiniet's paper also added the impact of the audit period and the rotation of the audit on audit. This effect varies for rotation between the big four and non-big four company. The results showed that the relationship between the auditor's tenure and the audit quality is not significant. The turnover of the audit company positively affects the audit quality, and the positive effect is less than the big four. In non-big four, the rotation of the audit company can improve the audit quality. Because they have enough partners to do a quality review ⁴, While Nguyen's article focuses on the pressure on the certified and reliable financial information is a key challenge to stimulate auditors to improve audit quality, The study analyze 102 responses (CPA and independent auditors), The research model shows that there are six factors affecting the audit quality. They are (1) professional ethics of auditors, (2) professional capacity of auditors, (3) quality of external control, (4) internal factors belong to auditing firms, (5) audit fees and (6) size of auditing firms’ ¹⁶, According to the Gunn & Michas study the audit quality is stronger when the auditor has experience in conducting global group audits, has special experience in the country where the client has an important subsidiary, or has both types of experience in engagement. Results suggest that the challenge of conducting multinational audits can be more easily met by auditors with experience in these types of engagements. ⁵, Berglund's study explained that larger auditors will be more likely to issue a going concern opinion to a a struggling customer, This study demonstrate a positive relationship between auditor size and the propensity to issue a going concern opinion and, compared to other auditors, the Big four are less likely to issue false-positive (Type I error) going concern opinions. ⁶, The Bouwens study noted that positive spillover effects occur when companies combine audit with advisory services. However, unspecified levels of advisory services (not tax advice or financial information systems) may have a negative impact on audit quality ⁷. The study explained by Simunic et al a measure to capture an audit firm's competitive position in a local audit market based on the transaction costs of changing audit firms included in DeAngelo's (1981) multi-period audit pricing model This study found that audit fees of a client decrease as this size difference increases. This result suggests that smaller audit firms charge lower audit fees because of their competitive disadvantage to the local largest firm. (Simunic et al. 2018), other study analyze the cost-benefit tradeoffs of two audit team production characteristics, client-specific expertise and year-round auditing, and find that both are associated with more effective audits and higher fees. and found that middle management team members’ production characteristics explain audit effectiveness and higher fees, and relatively more so than the characteristics of lead/EQR partners. ⁸, The study ⁹, indicates that The examination is an activity for the objective, professional collection, processing of data and evidence in accordance with the terms of the audit that aimed at testing compliance with tax obligations and the implementation of regulations and instructions. However, this study assumes the objectivity of the examination and therefore the cost of the examination process, and that procedure is no more than that of the other parties, where the tax examiner overapplies the maximum in the executive instructions to be far from the multiple control authorities, Other studies indicates that the concept of audit quality represents fulfilling the standards and rules of professional conduct set by the American Society of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), which include general standards, fieldwork standards, reporting standards, as well as professional conduct and professional ethics. ¹⁰, Some pointed out that the quality of the audit is the reader's awareness of possible errors in the financial statements in the light of the reference performing the necessary tests in accordance with standard auditing and issuing the reference opinion and the issuance of the auditor’s opinion ¹¹, The audit profession has been subject to a lot of criticism by professional organizations, and with the users' need for more reliable financial reports, to help maintain performance improvement and monitoring programs for institutions that maintain quality of performance. ¹², Thus, providing early warning of the shortcomings and weaknesses in the auditor's performance, which it will have to correct before any subsequent audits Which is a prerequisite for all parties involved in the audit results Randell, R., Brown, J. M., & Jayne, D. G. (2017), The efficiency and quality of external audit can be ensured only when certain criteria are established. These standards are audit standards "GAAS", which are the minimum required standards to be followed during audit activities. ¹³, To ensure that the profession meets its minimum responsibilities vis-à-vis all the different parties. obtaining expected values that are accurate, neutral, consistent and sufficient, where important inputs and outputs are summarized in a particular process to facilitate experimentation and appropriate decision-making ¹⁴. As honest representation means that all information included in the financial report must be faithfully represented, to achieve this all economic information and phenomena included in the annual reports must be complete, accurate, impartial and free from prejudice and errors. ¹⁵, the researcher believes that it represents a guarantee that these offices comply with generally accepted auditing standards.

According to the researcher, the existence of a quantitative approach to measure the quality of the audit office increases confidence and the credibility of the information of the audit office, and the financial report is considered the basis for that information in analyzing undesirable events to occur, especially in the field of taxation, and the degree of reliance on it in the tax examination process. Accurate controls and indicators are used to judge the credibility of the proposed approach in applying the proposed approach entry through - a relative weight of each indicator, determining the degree of credibility or risk in the audit office where the indicator is available, and a statement of its impact on the audit office and the tax examiner., For example, the size of Audit Office is an element that affects audit quality, and can be measured on the basis of the number of professionals in the audit office or company. If the size of the audit office is large, it is expected to have a positive impact, unlike the size of the office if it is small, This entry integrates these elements into a multidimensional function, that may have a positive or negative impact so that its inputs are variables that affect the quality of the audit process. Its output is a scale, indicator, ratio or rate that reflects the degree of quality of the audit, and thus its impact by negative or positive on the tax examiner. The following is a table shows the proposed entry and the interrelationships between the components of this entry. The entry contains variables and measurement elements that affect the quality of the audit office and reflect its impact on the tax examination.

As a result of the above, the study hypotheses can be formulated as follows:

H1: There is no relationship between applying the proposed quantitative approach in audit quality control standards at the Audit office (as an independent variable) and the development of tax inspection (as a dependent variable) Study methodology.

H2: The return of applying the proposed quantitative input in the audit quality control standards system at audit office does not exceed the costs of applying it.

3. Research Methodology

This study relied on the descriptive and analytical approach, in its theoretical and field styles, where the researcher used methods of collecting primary data from the accounting literature related to the research topic. The researcher used the field method to collect data from primary sources by developing a questionnaire that serves the study's objectives, which was distributed to the study population members.

The applied study relied on designing and distributing a survey list for partners in audit offices, as well as managers of funds companies registered in the Saudi Stock Exchange and some employees of the General Authority for Zakat and Income in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaires used in the statistical analysis were (173) questionnaire. Most of the sample members are those with academic qualifications from university education and used closed interviews to overcome these differences, whether cultural, educational, intellectual, or other.

4. Data Analysis and Results

The study tool

The researcher divided the questionnaire into a set of general inquiries relating to the problem of research, and a set of inquiries relating to the hypothetical test research, and using a Likert Scale to answer the questionnaire paragraphs.

The Cronbach Alpha test was used to verify the stability of the study toolits, and To test the hypothesis of the study. The researcher used the SPSS program and the Minitab program, where the linear regression methods were used to test the relationship between the dependent variable and a set of independent variables. As well as Kruskal Wallis Test regarded to three group, in addition to the use of the statistical alpha Cronbach test, Durbin-Watson To illustrate the link between the variables and The correlation matrix between Independent variable and Dependent variable.

Table 2 shows that The Cronbach Alpha test was used to ensure the study tool's stability. The value of Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the study variables ranged between (0.8007-0.8562), which means that there is a large degree of reliability in the answers. Therefore, the results of the study can be generalized to the study population, and Table 1 shows the most noticeable effects of this test.

The statements are answering using Curt's pentagonal scale by selecting the respondent for one of the appropriate proportions Here we have Yes = 1, No = 2 somewhat = 3

Y: represents the dependent variable

- X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 and X6 represent to the group of independent variants.

It is evident from the previous Table 3 that the difference of opinion has achieved relative importance in clarifying the extent to which the Development of tax examination is affected by the proposed approach to audit quality control standards

According to the above table, it is clear that the standards of Monitoring and Follow-Up and Standard of Impartiality, integrity and objectivity are of the highest importance from the perspective of Tax examiner, Standards of implementation for performance auditing and standards of impartiality, integrity and objectivity are also of the utmost importance from the perspective of corporate managers.

The standards of Monitoring and Follow-Up and the Standard of impartiality, integrity and objectivity also represent the highest importance from the point of view of the External Auditor.

The researcher explains that the audit office's sense of integrity and objectivity in its work and not being subject to the whims and desires of others is reflected in the quality, which in turn increases confidence in the technical opinion of the examining officer.

It is evident from the previous Table 5 that the difference of opinion has achieved relative importance in clarifying the extent to which the Development of tax examination is affected by the proposed approach to audit quality control standards.

According to the above table, it is clear that Reduction cases referred to the appeals commission and the courts, Provide sound and complete databases for the tax payer, reduced uncertainty, reduced misunderstanding, and increased trust and Provide the External Audit Office with information about the Examining Officer's expectations accepted by most interviewees.

5. Conclusion

A clear entry addressing the different dimensions of the quantitative measurement to recognize and judge performance quality, gives more credibility to the auditor's report, through a quantitative measure of quality that formulates a quantity of the variables to achieve the objectives of the relevant parties - the tax examiner- . , this entry integrates these elements into a multidimensional function so that its inputs are factors and variables that affect the quality of the review process; its outputs are a measure, indicator, ratio or rate that reflects the level of quality of the review process.

The methods of using the proposed approach for the quantitative measurement of the variables affecting the quality of the audit office are critical for tax examination of the following:

- Field research results show there is a connection between the application of the proposed quantitative approach in the audit quality control standards at the audit office (As an independent variable) and the development of tax inspection (as a dependent variable) Through a set of vital results, centered around:

There is a direct relationship between trust and credibility in the audit office's report and each of the efficiency and independence of the audit office.

There is a close link between the criterion of personnel management and the quality of job performance, which leads to increasing the effectiveness of organizations and ensuring their continuity.

There is a strong relationship between the criterion of accepting new customers and continuing to provide service to existing customers in order to avoid losing customers, gaining the trust of new customers, and gaining the trust of external parties, including the tax examiner.

There is a strong relationship between supervision and control, which in turn affects the quality of job performance and the development of tax examination.

There is a direct relationship between the application of this proposed quantitative approach and the reduction of the time required to complete the audit task at a lower cost with high quality, while giving confidence and ease of communication between the examining officer and the audit office, bringing opinions closer and reducing misunderstanding between the tax examiner and the auditor.

The office's experience in a specific industry, or a number of industries, gives this system an advantage represented by the low cost of the audit mission, the low number of lawsuits against the audit office, especially the large offices, and the high number of contracts entered into by the audit offices. Maintaining his reputation and prestige outweighs the risk of retaining the client and continuing the audit process.

Facilitating and understanding the financial statements and the data, they contain when presented, which facilitates tax examination. Helping to strengthen the independence of the tax examiner in expressing his neutral technical opinion while defining his responsibility clearly and helps him to identify the validity of a particular tax accounting procedure. The return of applying the proposed quantity entry into the audit quality control standard system to the audit office exceeds the costs of applying it.

- Obtaining a clean report by the Audit Office increases auditors' confidence in the Audit Office and brings views closer and good communication, thereby further achieving for all parties.

- There is no doubt that the research hypotheses developed by the researcher are valid on sound scientific grounds by applying the audit office, a set of audit quality control standards through a proposed quantitative approach in order to achieve the appropriate rule and tax justice.

- Reducing the scope and timing of the tax examination process and completing its implementation efficiently.

- Avoid many actions, many costs, and the huge efforts.

- Obtaining evidence that supports the formation of the final opinion of the examiner in judging the extent of regularity and honesty of accounting books, tax returns, and correctness of operations and balances.

- Reduces the impact of the financier's fictitious data, which requires hard effort to identify and correct deviations, their causes, and methods of treatment, thus reducing the level of risks surrounding the examination.

- Developing studies of the tasks and responsibilities of the external audit office to meet the needs of examining officers in order to reflect contemporary development.

- More practical studies in the field of quantitative and mathematical measurements to identify the quality of audit office.

- Reconciliation of differences between actual performance and standards expected by tax examiners and their rapid response to developments in the audit.

- The use of quantitative measures in guiding studies to assess all gaps in standards, performance, communications and perceptions, and link them to tax development.
