It is widely believed that auditors are supposed to ensure that publicly traded companies are free from fraud.
However, auditors publicly reveal only a small portion of frauds. In an upcoming policy webinar, Krannert School of Management Assistant Professor of Accounting Dr. Jonathan Black will discuss the extent to which auditors are incentivized and equipped – or not – to uncover fraud.
Given that other actors may be better-incentivized and/or better-able to reveal fraud, he will talk about how recent auditor disclosure requirements might help to reveal corporate fraud more quickly.
Our live webinar will be hosted by Purdue University Research Center in Economics (PURCE) Kozuch Director Kevin Mumford. He will moderate a Q&A following Dr. Black’s presentation.
