International Journal of Auditing

Edited by:
Jenny Stewart

IJA is a high quality specialist journal that publishes articles from the broad spectrum of auditing. Its primary aim is to communicate clearly, to an international readership, the results of original auditing research conducted in research institutions and/or in practice. Papers reporting the results of research conducted jointly by academics and practitioners are particularly welcome. The journal seeks to publish articles that have international appeal either due to the research topic transcending national frontiers or due to the clear potential for readers to apply the results, perhaps with adaptation, in their local environments.

While articles must be methodologically sound, any research orientation is acceptable - for instance, papers may have an analytical and statistical, behavioural, economic and financial (including agency), sociological, critical, or historical basis. The editors consider articles for publication which fit into one or more of the following subject categories:

Financial statement audits
Public sector/governmental auditing
Internal auditing
Audit education and methods of teaching auditing (including case studies)
Audit aspects of corporate governance, including audit committees
Audit quality
Environmental and social audits
Audit related ethical issues
Audit regulation
State:Profession relationships
Auditing history
New and emerging audit issues

Early View
We are pleased to announce that The International Journal of Auditing is now part of the Wiley Interscience Early View service. Articles accepted for publication can be accessed on a regular basis online in advance of their appearance in a print issue. These articles are fully peer reviewed, edited and complete - they only lack page numbers and volume/issue details - and are considered fully published from the date they first appear online. This date is shown with the article in the online table of contents. The articles are available as full text HTML or PDF and can be cited as references by using their Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers. For more information on DOIs, please see http://www.doi.org/faq.html

To view all the articles currently available via Early View, please click here. On print publication, the article will be removed from the Early View area and will appear instead in the relevant online issue, complete with page numbers and volume/issue details. No other changes will be made.

The implementation of Early View for The International Journal of Auditing represents our commitment to make manuscripts available for viewing by the academic community as quickly as possible, thereby reducing time to publication considerably without sacrificing quality or completeness.
