Resumo

O artigo discute o uso da intuição pelos auditores, explorando sua relevância para a detecção de fraudes. Espera-se que os auditores exibam ceticismo profissional, que inclui uma mentalidade questionadora e avaliação crítica das evidências de auditoria, mas tem havido preocupações sobre o uso insuficiente na prática. Embora a intuição seja considerada uma característica perigosa para os auditores devido ao risco de decisões tendenciosas, ela é um direcionador essencial da prática, principalmente para decisões de risco. Apesar das iniciativas de associações profissionais de contadores e auditores, reguladores governamentais e organizações internacionais de padronização para aumentar o conhecimento sobre o ceticismo profissional dos auditores, ainda falta orientação prática sobre o uso apropriado e como documentá-lo. Portanto, a questão de pesquisa é como a intuição pode ser usada no processo de auditoria para aprimorar a detecção de fraudes. Para abordar esta questão, o artigo faz uma revisão da literatura normativa, prática e da produção acadêmica sobre o uso da intuição por auditores como uma abordagem cognitiva. O artigo conclui que a literatura acadêmica é escassa, e a resistência normativa ao conceito por parte de organizações normatizadoras pode ser a causa. A tensão entre a necessidade de documentação suficiente e adequada e o exercício do ceticismo profissional cria um paradoxo para os auditores. A pesquisa encomendada de profissionais sobre o ceticismo dos auditores é essencial para unir a literatura acadêmica sobre a intuição a criação de regras por organizações profissionais e de definição de padrões. O artigo propõe uma agenda de pesquisa para as categorias: Incentivos, Tempo, Mentalidade/Prompts, Fatores Ambientais e Contextuais, Competência e Traços, sugerindo métodos alternativos de pesquisa, como estudos de caso de corrupção e escândalos financeiros. Esta contribuição é essencial para auditores, profissionais da contabilidade, reguladores e estudiosos interessados no processo de auditoria e aumentar o ceticismo profissional dos auditores.
