In line with the expertise paradigm, the expert panel members confirmed that the cases are realistic and based upon problems faced by auditors (Bedard and Biggs 1991a, 1991b; Gibbins and Jamal 1993; Trotman 1996). They are sufficiently ill defined (Abdolmohammadi and Wright 1987; Bedard and Biggs 1991a, 1991b; Trotman 1996) in order to assess whether each type of experience impacts performance (Be ́dard and Chi 1993). Had the cases been too simple and structured, the auditors would have been expected to perform equally well with or without relevant industry- or task-based experience (Bedard and Biggs 1991b; Bonner 1990).
The case set in the manufacturing industry deals with research and development expenditure. It consists of information regarding a client, together with five questions on research and development expenditure; in particular, which procedures to use when auditing research and development expenditure, which items from a list provided can be capitalized, and how a government grant should be handled. Excerpts from relevant accounting standards were provided as information cues.
