The auditing profession is undergoing a transformation, becoming heavily reliant on computerized systems to produce data analytic reports. As a result, the demand for accounting graduates with knowledge in data analytics (DA) has increased. Because textbooks remain the primary educational resource in a college classroom, we sought to determine the extent to which textbooks include DA content and provide a summary of our findings to assist auditing educators in locating this content. Our primary analysis includes the examination of the six most commonly used audit textbooks and one book on DA for accountants. For each text, we evaluated (1) the degree to which textbooks have integrated current and emerging technologies into the written chapter content; (2) the degree to which auditing textbooks have students perform specific DA activities, using DA software; and (3) the degree to which these problems follow the AICPA’s five-step process for planning and performing audit DA. We also provide a Detailed Analysis section for each text in which we summarize both in-chapter and end-of-chapter DA exercises. Recognizing the large amount of DA resources available online such as case studies and datasets, we also provide a review and summary of this content, thereby providing auditing educators a wide variety of options for including DA in their classroom. Finally, based on our review of these resources, we provide recommendations for educators, textbook authors, and publishers to consider when developing DA educational materials. Our purpose is to contribute to the discussion on auditing curriculum and whether trends in practice are reflected in the course resources.

审计教科书目前集成数据分析的情况如何

审计行业正在经历变革,它严重依赖于计算机化系统来生成数据分析报告。结果,对具有数据分析(DA)知识的会计专业毕业生的需求增加了。由于教科书仍然是大学教室中的主​​要教育资源,因此,我们试图确定教科书中包含DA内容的程度,并提供我们的发现的摘要,以帮助审核教育工作者找到该内容。我们的主要分析包括对六本最常用的审计教科书和一本针对会计师的关于DA的书的检查。对于每本书,我们评估(1)教科书将当前和新兴技术整合到书面章节内容中的程度;(2)审核教材让学生进行特定的DA活动的程度,使用DA软件;(3)这些问题在多大程度上遵循了AICPA计划和执行审核DA的五步过程。我们还为每个文本提供了一个“详细分析”部分,其中总结了章中和章末的DA练习。认识到在线上有大量的DA资源(例如案例研究和数据集),我们还提供了对此内容的回顾和总结,从而为审核教育工作者提供了多种选择,可将DA纳入他们的课堂。最后,基于对这些资源的审查,我们为教育工作者,教科书作者和出版商提供了一些建议,供他们在开发DA教育材料时考虑。我们的目的是促进有关审核课程以及课程资源中是否反映了实践趋势的讨论。(3)这些问题在多大程度上遵循了AICPA计划和执行审核DA的五步过程。我们还为每个文本提供了一个“详细分析”部分,其中总结了章中和章末的DA练习。认识到在线上有大量的DA资源(例如案例研究和数据集),我们还提供了对此内容的回顾和总结,从而为审核教育工作者提供了多种选择,可将DA纳入他们的课堂。最后,基于对这些资源的审查,我们为教育工作者,教科书作者和出版商提供了一些建议,供他们在开发DA教育材料时考虑。我们的目的是促进有关审核课程以及课程资源中是否反映了实践趋势的讨论。(3)这些问题在多大程度上遵循了AICPA计划和执行审核DA的五步过程。我们还为每个文本提供了一个“详细分析”部分,其中总结了章中和章末的DA练习。认识到在线上有大量的DA资源(例如案例研究和数据集),我们还提供了对此内容的回顾和总结,从而为审核教育工作者提供了多种选择,可将DA纳入他们的课堂。最后,基于对这些资源的审查,我们为教育工作者,教科书作者和出版商提供了一些建议,供他们在开发DA教育材料时考虑。我们的目的是促进有关审核课程以及课程资源中是否反映了实践趋势的讨论。
