Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, I have done the survey on the audit time in Japanese, the US and the UK auditing firm, as the real engagement base.
This research found that (1) the audit time in Japanese audit engagement is significantly shorter than the US and the UK, (2) the additional time by the audit plan change is significantly shorter than the others, and (3) the Japanese auditors scarcely share time for the evaluation of internal control without the time for internal control audit, quiet unlike the US auditors.
