Washington DC, July 6, 2022 - The Center for Audit Quality (CAQ) today released the results of a new survey series, Audit Partner Pulse Survey, aimed at gathering US public company audit partner observations on a range of topics, including the overall health of the economy, business transformation, quality of corporate disclosures and more. This survey of audit partners is the first of its kind, providing objective views by industry and sector.
"We're excited to launch this first of its kind survey of the US public company audit industry that will offer a bird's-eye view of the state of the economy that only auditors can provide," said Julie Bell Lindsay, Chief Executive Officer, CAQ. "Due to the nature of our work, which necessarily includes risk assessment as part of every audit, auditors obtain unique insights across a broad spectrum of industries. The analysis in this survey provides valuable, independent observations on the state of the economy, economic indicators on the horizon, cybersecurity preparedness, corporate disclosure trends and more. We intend for this survey to be a regular initiative by CAQ."
Below are some of the interesting findings on the state of the economy and what the auditing industry believes are the top concerns.
