Participants
Partners from the participating firms nominated non-specialist audit staff to take part in the experiment. All participants were non-industry specialists and non-task experts. A minimum of two years of audit experience was set to ensure that all participants had sufficient work experience to deal with the case materials. In total, 83 auditors with an average 7.1 years of audit experience completed the two cases outlined above. Of the 83 auditors, 31 were seniors with an average of 3.7 years of audit experience, 44 were managers with an average of 7.7 years of audit experience, and 8 were partners with an average 16.4 years of audit experience.
In the year leading up to the experiment, 18 of the 83 participants had no industry-based experience in either the manufacturing or the superannuation industry, 11 had experience with clients in both industries, and 54 had experience in only one industry. In the year leading up to the experiment, 39 of the 83 participants had no task-based experience in either research and development or in investments, 10 had experience in both tasks, and 34 had experience in only one task.
The 83 participants completed two cases, providing 166 usable responses. Seventy-six participants reported having industry-based experience and 54 participants reported having task- based experience. Of the 76 reporting industry-based experience, 56 (20) were in the manufacturing (superannuation) industry. Of the 54 reporting task-based experience, 23 (31) specified research and development costs (investments).
