Full textSyftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkade hur lång tid det tog att bli auktoriserad revisor. Eftersom det fanns tidigare forskning på individers karriärframgångar inom andra yrken ansåg vi att det borde finnas liknande faktorer som påverkade revisorsassistenternas karriärframgång mot auktorisationen. I andra yrkeskarriärer är det vanligt att en person blir befordrad eftersom han eller hon har en social likhet med den personen som befordrar honom eller henne. Men i vår undersökning av revisorskarriären blir personen befordrad automatiskt genom att bli godkänd på revisorsproven och därför är personen i vår undersökning inte i lika stor grad beroende av ett socialt nätverk.
Vår utgångspunkt är att det tar fem år eftersom Revisorsnämnden har satt upp grundkrav som måste bli uppfyllda för att bli auktoriserad. Utifrån tidigare teorier, framförallt karriärteorier och forskning skapade vi en egen teori om auktorisationstiden, som består av olika faktorer som vi anser påverkar auktorisationstiden.
Vi har utgått ifrån att vägen till att bli auktoriserad revisor börjar när individen har tagit sin gymnasieexamen. Individen börjar kanske arbeta och får arbetslivserfarenhet inom redovisning. Arbetet kan pågå under den akademiska utbildningen och fram till dess att individen blir anställd som revisorsassistent. Tiden mellan revisorsassistent och tills individen blir auktoriserad revisor kallar vi för total auktorisationstid. Den totala auktorisationstiden består av effektiv auktorisationstid och arbetsavbrott. Effektiv auktorisationstid är den tiden som revisorsassistenten har arbetat heltid med sin anställning. I vår undersökning har vi utgått ifrån den effektiva auktorisationstiden. Alla individen gör inte arbetsavbrott, därför blir det mer jämförbart mellan individerna om man bortser ifrån arbetsavbrottet.
Vi anser att individuella karakteristiska drag påverkar den effektiva auktorisationstiden. Vi hävdar att könet påverkar den effektiva auktorisationstiden och att det tar längre tid för en kvinna. När en kvinna får barn ändras ofta hennes värderingar, från att tidigare prioritera arbetet till att istället prioritera familjen. Vi anser att ålder påverkar den effektiva auktorisationstiden eftersom en yngre revisorsassistent har sin studieteknik färsk, vilket gör att de vet hur de ska studera för att minnas mer till provet. Vi anser att den effektiva auktorisationstiden påverkas av en stark motivation, en god hälsa baserad på konditionsträning och en stresstålighet. En person som har en starkare motivation tar till sig kunskapen från uppdragen mycket snabbare än en person som inte har lika stark motivation. Fysisk träning gör att en person orkar mer, tänker klarare och blir mindre sjuk. En person som har medelhög stressnivå upplever att hanteringsförmågan och förmågan till anpassning är större än den press personen utsätts för.
I de sociala egenskaperna kommer en persons effektiva auktorisationstid att påverkas av personens arbetslivserfarenhet av redovisningsarbete och sociala miljö. Både den sociala miljön som personen befann sig i under sin ungdom, d v s klassursprung och den som personen befann sig i under sin utbildning, framför allt under sin akademiska utbildning. En person som föds i en högre social klass vet mer om vilka normer och värderingar som väntar dem eftersom personen har anammat föräldrarnas egenskaper och livsstil. En uppdragsgivare som har examen från en prestigefull skola väljer att ge de mer betydande uppdragen till en person som har examen från samma prestigefull skola eller från liknande prestigefull skola. Arbetslivserfarenhet av redovisning innan en person börjar arbeta på en revisionsbyrå gör att den får lättare att komma in i arbetsuppgifterna och förstå organisationskulturen.
Den organisation som revisorassistenten blir anställd i kan påverka den effektiva auktorisationstiden genom att erbjuda varierande arbetsuppgifter på grund av sin storlek, att ge stöd med en eller flera mentorer samt möjliggör för den nyanställde att byta position under sin anställningstid. Den medelstora revisionsbyrån har tillräckligt många små och stora klienter för att revisorsassistenten ska få rätt förutsättningar inför revisorsproven. Mentorn kan dela med sig av sin kunskap och ge råd till personen om vad som är viktigt att kunna. En person som har bytt position oftare har fått arbeta med mer varierade uppdrag, får mer bred erfarenhet.
Utifrån vår teori har vi skapat hypoteser som vi har valt att testa genom en telefonsurvey. Vi har intervjuat revisorer som har skrivit det nya EU anpassade revisorsprovet och fått sin auktorisation under åren 1999-2004. Vi valde det nya revisorsprovet eftersom det är mest aktuellt idag och i framtiden. Vår svarsfrekvent blev 81 % av 74 auktoriserade revisorer.
Vår teori har visat sig förklara två tredjedelar av den effektiva auktorisationstiden. De faktorer som vi fann ha ett samband med den effektiva auktorisationstiden var motivationen och åldern. Faktorer med ett svagt samband med den effektiva auktorisationstiden är stress och examensplats. Teorin har även visat en antydan till att antal positionsbyten har ett samband med den effektiva auktorisationstiden. Våra övriga faktorer som var; kön, hälsa, arbetslivserfarenhet, social klass, mentor och revisionskontorets storlek visade sig inte ha något samband med den effektiva auktorisationstiden.
En person som vill göra en snabb karriär inom revisorsyrket bör börja som revisorsassistent direkt efter avklarade studier, eftersom åldern ger en längre effektiv auktorisationstid. En stark motivation ger mer intresse för arbetet och ökar individens målmedvetenhet som i sin tur leder till att individen söker sig till nya utmaningar. En person som vill korta ner sin effektiva auktorisationstid bör lära sig att hantera stress, eftersom vår empiriska undersökning har visat att de personer som har medelhög stressnivå har kortare effektiv auktorisationstid.

Full textIntroduction The audit industry is affected by a high employee turnover that has resulted in a 20 % loss of certified public accountants since the year 2005. This is a problem for audit firms since they invest a lot of resources in educating their employees, who in turn leave the industry before they achieve their authorization. Representatives from the Big 4 describe that audit assistants acquire attractive knowledge which are appealing for recruiters in other lines of business. Audit assistants are aware of this which results in them using the job as a stepping stone in to other industries. Purpose The purpose of the study is to examine why an employment as an audit assistant works as a stepping stone in to other industries. Method The study applies an interview method with a mainly deductive approach. To collect data the authors have carried out 17 interviews in total, with respondents from four different interview groups. Conclusion The findings of the study is that the large amount of internal education that the firms provide results in audit assistants gaining lots of attractive knowledge. Audit assistants also become attractive because of the industry’s work climate. The audit industry is affected by an intense peak season which teaches the audit assistants to cope with stress and to work efficient. The study also indicates that audit assistants develop social skills which are highly attractive in the eyes of recruiters.

Full textRevisorsyrket är ett yrke som tidigare haft en tråkighetsstämpel på sig, ett yrke där man behövde vara en så kallad ”siffermänniska” för att trivas. Idag har yrket blivit mycket mer eftertraktat. Eftersom yrket har ökat i popularitet, bland annat hos studenter samt att branschen står inför stora förändringar ansåg vi att det var intressant att ta reda på mer om yrket och kraven för att bli revisorsassistent.
I denna studie har vi haft som syfte att ta reda på just vad som krävs för att bli revisorsassistent, vad det innebär att arbeta som revisorsassistent samt att se om den förmedlade bilden av yrket stämmer överens med verkligheten.
Som teoretisk referensram till denna studie har vi använt oss av teorier som berör rekryteringsprocessen för att se huruvida rekryteringsbeteendet hos revisionsbyråerna i Umeå stämmer överens med den vanligaste modellen. Vi har även använt oss av teorier rörande revisionens praktiska utförande och ställt upp Revisorsnämndens föreskrifter om utbildning och prov (RNFS 1996:1). Detta för att peka på vilka egenskaper som behövs för att vara revisor, samt för att tydliggöra vad som krävs för att bli revisor. Teori som rör förväntningar och kommunikation har också använts för att visa vilka faktorer som kan påverka den förmedlade bilden av yrket till oss studenter.
Studien har genomförts genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer där vi dels intervjuat tre stycken rekryteringsansvariga och dels fyra revisorsassistenter. Vi har även intervjuat en HR-ansvarig för Lindebergs Grant Thornton. Uppsatsen präglas av ett hermeneutiskt synsätt då vi genom våra kvalitativa intervjuer lämnat plats åt tolkning och reflektioner.
Resultatet av studien visar att om man vill bli revisorsassistent bör man som ekonomstudent ha läst 160 poäng enligt de rekommendationer som revisorsnämnden har för att få skriva högre revisorsexamen. I undersökningen framkommer det även att många av de redovisningskurser som läses på civilekonomprogrammet är för internationellt inriktade. Detta leder till att nyttan av dessa kurser inte är direkt synliga hos revisorsassistenterna på de lokala revisionsbyråerna eftersom dessa mestadels hanterar mindre svenska bolag. Undersökningen visar även att för att bli revisorsassistent bör man som person vara utåtriktad, och tycka om att möta människor. Man ska även vara självdrivande och inte beroende av en fast arbetsplats. Studien tyder också på att alla som söker till yrket inte har en bra uppfattning om vad yrket på förhand innebär.

Full textSyfte: Antalet tentander som skriver provet för revisorsexamen och högre revisorsexamen minskar. Vi vill genom vår undersökning titta närmare på varför inte fler avlägger revisors-examen samt söka efter de faktorer som vi tror kan påverka individens beslut om att avlägga provet.
Metod: Undersökningen bygger på en kvantitativ metod och för att öka tillförlitligheten gjorde vi även en kvalitativ undersökning. Vårt empiriska material erhöll vi genom webbenkätundersökningar samt att vi genomförde två intervjuer. Materialet har vi sedan sammanställt och de frågor som är av störst vikt för vårt arbete redovisar vi under empiri-avsnittet där vi jämför de olika resultaten med varandra, utifrån detta analyserar vi vad de olika utfallen kan bero på.
Resultat & slutsats: Undersökningen visar att majoriteten av de revisorsassistenter som deltagit i vår undersökning har för avsikt att i framtiden avlägga revisorsexamen. Vi tror att de förändringar som håller på och sker inom revisionsbranschen kan påverka revisors- ssistenternas beslut i huruvida de ska avlägga revisorsexamen eller inte.
Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Att titta närmare på hur utfallet hade blivit om undersökningen genomfördes i flera län eller i Norden. Uppsatsens bidrag: Vi tror att man som revisionsbyrå kan dra nytta av vår undersökning eftersom de får ta del av faktorer som kan påverka individens val i att avlägga revisorsexamen.

Our study is motivated bythe lack of research concerning the audit associates own experience of their worksituation, discretion and comfort. Purpose: To explore the relationship between audit associates perceived discretion andcomfort. Method: We performed ten semistructured interviews. Eight of these with auditassociates and two with former audit associates who left the occupation the latest year. Conclusion: We conclude that the main factors that affect the relationship betweenaudit associates perceived discretion and comfort is experience, personality andstructure/controls.

Full textIntroduction: More than half of newly graduated audit assistants leave the audit profession within three years. The audit industry is characterized by an intense peak season that adversely affects the well-being of auditors. Well-being is affected by work-life balance, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Declined well-being contributes to turnover, according to prior research. As the audit firms invest a lot in the audit assistants, there are incentives to keep their employees. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore how former auditor assistants reason about their subjective well-being and how, in relation to other aspects, it contributed to the choice to leave the audit profession before authorization. Method: The study applies an interview method with a mainly deductive approach. Primary data has been collected through semi-structured interviews with eleven former audit assistants who have worked at Big 4 firms. The empirical data was analysed thematically. Conclusion: The study indicates that there are several reasons why audit assistants change professions. The study finds dissatisfaction with low salary in connection with high workload and many working hours during the peak season. In addition, occupations that require the same professional experience provide higher pay for less work, which contributes to changes in profession. The study also indicates that the audit profession is used as an entry to other career opportunities.

Full textAuditor independence is a constantly discussed and debated topic. New scandals continue to arise where the auditor's’ independence is questioned. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference between the auditors’ independent assessment depending on the auditor's professional title. The titles examined in this study is auditor assistants and authorized auditors. To investigate the purpose of the study, a qualitative method was used and semi-structured interviews were conducted with five auditors, of which three where authorized auditors and two auditor assistants. The results of the study show that all respondents agreed that independence is important for building trust and that independence is a difficult question. This is because they all believed that differences existed between the different auditors' independent assessments and that the independence remains as a complex subject. Furthermore, differences emerged between the two different professional titles' arguments regarding different scenarios where they should decide whether there was a threat to their independence or not. What emerged was that the authorized auditors had a stricter view of the self-examination threat and the friendship threat, while the auditor assistants looked more strictly at the self-interest threat and independence in appearance. The conclusions drawn from the study is that auditor assistants and authorized auditors use the analysis model in the same way, but the auditors' assistants fill in these while the authorized auditors control it. In addition, there were differences between the auditor assistants and the authorized auditors' arguments regarding different independence threats, which means that the study makes clear that the character trait, professional experience, influences the auditor's independence assessment.

Full textTitle Employee turnover as a business model - A qualitative study focusing on former auditing assistants Authors Lina Larsson and Matilda Lind Supervisor Pernilla Broberg Introduction Many newly graduated economists are attracted by the audit profession, but about 50% choose to terminate their employment within three years. Researchers believe that one reason for the high employee turnover in the auditing industry may be that audit associates choose to leave the profession. Factors such as high workload, misleading expectations and the perception of the audit profession are also used to explain employee turnover. However, few studies focus on the audit associate as well as differences between small and large audit firms. Purpose The main purpose of this study is to understand former audit associates’ expectations and perceptions of the audit profession as well as their motives for leaving the occupation as an audit associate. The study also aims to understand the possible differences in the perceptions of former audit associates from small and large audit firms. Method This study applies a qualitative research strategy with a primarily deductive process with inductive elements. For data collection, a total of 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted with former audit associates at small and large audit firms. Conclusion This study indicates that audit associates expect a high workload, extensive learning experiences and useful career opportunities when they enter the audit profession. Perceptions such as high workload and low salary prove to affect the audit associates' job satisfaction and constitute motives for leaving the profession. In addition, this study indicates differences between small and large audit firms, for instance in terms of work assignments. Contribution This study contributes to create an understanding of the phenomenon of employee turnover from the perspective of the audit associate and to expand the knowledge of actual employee turnover within the audit profession.

Full textBackground: As in previous years is The Big Four considered one of the 100 most attractive employers in Sweden, which indicates that it is still of great interest to work with auditing. Working with auditing means a teamwork, and an auditor can be seen as a link between the company they audit and the company's stakeholders. The Swedish title for certified public accountant is protected and requires both a theoretical and a practical education, in the form of bachelor’s degree in economics and additional theoretical education according with RI studies curricula and practical at an auditing firm. Previous research has highlighted the problem of differing perceptions of expectations from audit firms and the skills of newly graduated economists. Question: What gap exists between the auditing firms expectation and graduate economics view of acquired competence, compared to the competence gained from an bachelor of economics? Purpose: The study aims to explore how well prepared newly graduated economists are based on the auditing firms expectations of their competence. As well as whether there is a possible lack of the expected competence placed against the education of the academy, by examining whether the skills that newly graduated economists obtained from their education correspond to what members of the accounting college believe they should have obtained at the degree. Method: In this study, a qualitative method was used, and the empirical material was collected through semi-structured interviews. The interviewees interviewed three different groups: recruiters, assistant auditors and faculty members of the Accounting College of a university. Results and conclusions: The results of the study shows that there is an expectation, that the newly graduated economists should possess basic accounting knowledge and that there is a gap between the received competences obtained at the examination from the bachelor studies and which are subsequently obtained at the accounting firms. A change needs to be made, either by the educational plan or by the content of the education.

Full textAuditors are considered a profession which is characterized by ethical guidelines and demands of education and knowledge. According to the ethical guidelines, set up for the auditing profession by IFAC and its independent boards, auditors are to work for the public interest. The meaning of public interest could be perceived as vague and there are different views of what it actually means. According to IFAC public interest means to consider organizations all stakeholders in society, but within the profession there are different views depending on rank. On the way to and within the profession professional development occurs through education, mentoring and structure & judgment. The purpose of this study is therefore to see how professional developments affect the view on public interest. A positivistic and deductive approach was chosen in order to fulfil the purpose. A quantitative method of web questionnaires has been used, there have been distributed via e-mail and social media to auditors, audit assistants and audit students who all experience professional development. The study does not show any significant difference between auditors, audit assistants and auditing students in their view of how the interest groups represent the public interest. However, professional development appears to affect how much the interest groups represent the public interest both as a whole in different organizational contexts and individually in general. Because of the difficulties of asking the right questions in the right way to capture the opinions concerning public interest in a questionnaire and to measure the professional development in a reliable way, the results are not able to generalize. However, the study hints that professional development is a possible explanation to what affects the view on public interest. A suggestion for further research is to limit the study to only include auditors and audit assistants in order to reduce the difficulties of making comparable questionnaires which has been an issue in this study. To obtain a deeper understanding concerning the view on public interest a qualitative study is suggested.

Full textIn the absence of motivation, it becomes more difficult to achieve goals or to accomplish something with pleasure. Career development is an important part to motivate employees in audit firms. Since many new graduates choose to apply to Big4 where career development is clearly characterized by up-or-out, it is interesting to investigate what characterizes career development at the smaller audit firms. The purpose is to contribute to the understanding of career development as well as the motivational factors that influence the audit associates to career development at smaller firms. To fulfill the purpose of the study, a qualitative research method has been used in form of semi-structured interviews with audit associates. Nine interviews were implemented: four personal and five digital interviews. Motivational factors and career development have been studied based on central concepts and three motivational theories. The results of this study show that audit associates tend to think about motivational factors rather than hygiene factors when asked what motivates them. It is the motivational factors that are directly motivating in the work at the accounting firms. The most important motivating factor discovered in the study was responsibility. One conclusion in this study is that both the motivational factors and career development are perceived differently from individual to individual. Career development opportunities at the smaller firms are not as great as the larger firms. However, career development does not only mean how to become an authorized auditor or partner at the firm but can also mean developing on a personal level.

Full textThat the auditing branch has a high employee turnover is well known. Many new employees leave work already within the first three years. The high turnover comes with high costs for the firms. The firm will lose the employee´s knowledge and have to train new employees. Existing research only focuses on what the firms should do to reduce the high turnover but does not show what the firms actually do. The purpose of this study is to understand how accounting firms are dealing with high employee turnover. By studying how the firms work with reducing the turnover this study will contribute with new research within the found research gap. Six motivational factors have been identified by studying existing research. The accounting firms need to motivate their employees through the motivational factors to make them stay. The existing research and the collected empiricism have been connected with the three theories Personal-organization fit, Theory of professions and Motivation theory. The studies´ research area is illustrated in a model. A qualitative study was chosen to get a deeper understanding of the research area. Due to COVID-19 the empiricism was collected through interviews by mail and Skype. The conclusion of this study is that even if the accounting firms work with all motivational factors the employee turnover remains high. That can depend on the fact that the firms do not motivate the employees enough or that the employees chose to quit even if the firms do work with the factors.

Full textThe audit profession needs to retain qualified staff with extensive expertise in order to maintain good audit quality. It is crucial that employee turnover in audit firms is considered an important aspect and hence thoroughly researched. An important question to ask is why auditors choose to leave their position. Entry barriers are high and it is considered a prestigious profession, yet many junior auditors leave after only a few years of working and choose not to become senior auditors. To develop a better understanding of what it is that makes junior auditors choose to leave before completing their auditor exam, we have combined theories and literature from turnover, job satisfaction and motivation. Through our research we have developed a model that illustrates the different factors likely to affect junior auditors in their decision to leave the field early. To test the model, a survey of perceptions and motivational factors was given to present and former junior auditors. Although our findings show that the three main reasons for junior auditors leaving are external job opportunities, low perceptions of the audit profession and work-life balance issues, turnover may be due to several different factors. We have come to the conclusion that some factors identified from previous literature can therefore be questioned and that more extensive research is necessary to further understand the reasons behind this gap in the field. The results also indicate a different moderating variable, namely season. Therefore we suggest that further research focuses on this by carrying out a similar study during a different time of the year. With a better understanding of junior auditor turnover, audit firms could reduce the high costs that are associated with recruiting and training junior auditors.

Full textEvery other audit assistant fails the audit exam and there is a gap in the passing percentage between big and small firms. Because every other audit assistant fails the audit exam, this paper aims to identify which prerequisites an audit firm can present to their audit assistants up until the audit exam. This paper seeks to answer if these prerequisites differ between big and small audit firms and how. This study has adopted an abductive approach with a qualitative method and a positivistic philosophy. The results were produced by analyzing text documents of approved education plans and semi structured interviews with four big and four small audit firms. The paper follows the structure Revisorsinspektionen uses when approving education plans, that is by using the areas Competence, Individual adaptation, Resources and Educational environment. From the analysis another area is added, Preparation for the Exam. A two-step analysis was used to identify 24 prerequisites. The difference in prerequisites between big and small audit firms is that big audit firms generally have more resources, internal competence and implements a more structured and controlled education plan, while smaller audit firms are more flexible and adapt the education plan after the individual. The conclusion in this paper is that prerequisites alone are not what adds to a better education for the audit exam, but rather how they are implemented. Limitations in this study are about whether three out of four interviewed offices really represent a big audit firm well, and there are risks about interviewing individuals from an audit firm's perspective. Proposal for future research is to study newly certified auditors to control whether they experience that the prerequisites identified in this study have contributed to the development of their skills.

Full textIn the auditing industry, many auditing firms face the challenge of retaining their auditing assistants. Previous research focuses heavily on the perspective of the auditors 'assistants and has asked what factors are behind the auditors' choice in seeking opportunities outside the auditing industry. Since earlier research has been focused from the audit assistant perspective, the audit firms and their work on how to handle this challenge, has received little attention. It would therefore be interesting to examining how the audit firms perceive and handle the high staff turnover among auditing assistants. To fulfill the study purpose, a qualitative research method has been used, in the form of semi-structured interviews with auditors stated to be familiar with the audit assistants' rotation at the auditing firm. The interviews were conducted with auditing firms in Kristianstad and the surrounding area. The subject has been studied from literature in the following perspective: personnel turnover among employees, effects of staff turnover, management method Up or Out and motivation factors. The results of this study show that a majority of the participating firms did not find themselves having problems with high staff turnover among their auditors' assistants. The opinions were the same whether the audit firm belonged to the “Big 4” or represented a small auditing firm. This study shows that the participating audit firms handle the high staff turnover among auditor assistants through measures such as training, physical and mental support, varying tasks and participation in personal activities to try to get the auditor assistants to feel a potential for professional development, getting acknowledgement, and thus are willing to stay on Office. The study concluded that the size of the participating firms, whether the firm belongs to the “Big 4” or not, does not tend to have any impact on how the audit firms perceives or manages the high staff turnover among auditor assistants.

Full textStarting your career as an audit associate at an auditing firm is sought after by many newly graduated students. The large auditing firms in Sweden annually employs many newly graduated students for junior roles such as audit associates. Hiring audit associates has therefore proved to be easy but retaining audit associates for a longer period has proved to be more problematic. This leads to a recognized high employee turnover in the profession, which means that the auditing firms need to work on retaining employees at the firm. Regarding the difficulties, the purpose of this study is thus to create an understanding of the work that the audit firms do to retain employees and what the audit associates consider significant for staying within the firm and the expectation gap that exists between them. In order to fulfill the purpose of this study and answer the research questions, a document study was conducted. Annual - and sustainability reports at two of the largest auditing firms in Sweden was studied, in order to create an understanding of how they work to retain employees. In addition to the document study, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with current and former audit associates to create an understanding from their perspective and what they think is important to stay at the agency. The study's most important conclusions are that the expectation gap between what audit firms work with and what audit associates demand largely consists of work-life balance that goes hand in hand with a high-performing culture followed by more realistic expectations and to a lesser extent education and career. In addition, the study can also draw conclusions about why the identified expectation gap exists. The study has found that there is a different starting point to why there is a high employee turnover in the profession between auditing firms and auditing associates. This leads to different views on how the work of retaining employees should be constructed. In addition to this, there are also different interests between the groups, such as profit interest, results and work- life balance.

Full textIntroduction: Staff turnover is a phenomenon that exists in most organizations and is usually a natural part of a business. Turnover can be seen as an indication of perceived well-being in the workplace and existing literature has produced aspects that affect the feeling. However, the research is carried out at an aggregated level, which means that it is limited by not having studied the individuals behind the found relationships. By examining how an individual's background, characteristics and life situation affect relationships, the authors consider that they can deepen the understanding of what creates well-being and thus the understanding of staff turnover in general. Purpose: This study aims to nuance and develop, what can be considered to otherwise be a static understanding of what drives employee turnover. By doing so, the study has the potential to make the literature on employee turnover somewhat more complete. Since the study uses the auditing industry as a useful study object, it is also a secondary purpose to identify what increases the level of well-being in these workplaces and thereby create greater opportunities for the audit firms to control their turnover. Method: This study has applied a qualitative approach in which pre-existing theories and research of what influences the feeling of well-being have been tested against the empirical data collected through semi-structured interviews. The interviews are intended to better capture the individual behind the correlation. Conclusion: The study concludes that there is more information to consider than the aspects that previous literature has developed to explain perceived feelings of well-being. Our data indicates that the individual and his or her background, characteristics and life situation affect the relationships that create well-being and thus the desire to stay in their workplace. What makes an assistant at an audit firm want to stay in their workplace is thus more complicated than previously thought and consideration must be given to how the individual's unique context influences the evaluation of the aspects.

Full textBackground: Students' perception of their future profession does not always correspond with what they experience when they are new employees – there’s an expectation-reality gap. When the student becomes a new employee, they may experience a reality shock. To get some practical connection to the theoretical education that the academic universities provide, the student may undergo a work integrated learning (WIL). In Sweden there are eight institutions offering WIL as part of economic studies with specialization within accounting/auditing. Objective: The aim of this study is to explore how WIL affects the accounting and auditing students' perceptions of auditor assistants' duties, roles and responsibilities. Implementation: To start with, a pilot study was conducted in which three auditor assistants were interviewed in order to get a clear picture of auditor assistants' duties, roles and responsibilities. These interviews formed the basis for the design of a questionnaire sent out to the audit and accounting students at the universities that offer WIL within the framework of the economic studies. This was done to identify accounting and auditing students' perceptions of auditor assistants' duties, roles and responsibilities. Conclusion: Our conclusion is that WIL does not seem to have any major impact on the accounting and auditing students' perceptions of auditor assistants' duties, roles and responsibilities. A weak relationship has been identified between WIL and the assistant auditor task check digits. The study suggests, however, that there is a difference of perceptions between the different educational institutions. Suggestions for further research: A longitudinal study in which a number of accounting and auditing students' perceptions are studied throughout the work integrated learning course in an attempt of capturing their perception before and after WIL.

Full textThe profession of audit has traditionally over the years been a male dominated profession. Since the authorization of auditors began in the early 1900s, more men than women have been authorized auditors. Until the 1960s, the ideal for a married woman has been to be a housewife and take care of the home and the children. But after this a change began in the society. It has been a slow development and the auditing industry is still today not an equal industry after more than 100 years. This is also reflected in the proportion of female partners in the audit firms who are not equal. The audit profession is shrinking as more people retire than are authorized, but there is another aspect that leads to a reduction and that aspect are younger auditors are unregistering. Other aspects that come into play are what the distribution looks like between the sexes regarding the proportion of passed auditors' examinations to become an authorized auditor, salary, parental leave, care of children and pension. Previous research describes that there is an invisible barrier for women to make a career, as well as various factors contributing to this, such as pay differences, parental leave, biological differences between the sexes and stereotypical gender roles. The study's research question to be answered is "What are the perceptions, norms and social beliefs within and outside the audit profession regarding women's ability to enter the hierarchy and pursue a career by becoming authorized auditors and partner?". The study method is based on a deductive research approach where we study previous research based on established theories through scientific articles. The empirical study is conducted through semi-structured interviews with auditors. In the study's conclusion, we came up with eight main factors that affect women's ability to pursue a career in the audit profession. These are that it is easier for auditors to become partners of smaller firms, workload makes it more difficult to combine family and work life, biological factors as fertility, salary differences are due to justified reasons, women preform worse during pay negotiations, parental leave can adversely affect women's careers and more women compared to men work part time which affects the pension.
