Book excerpt: From the Overview: No empirical research study on materiality adequately addresses the question of how auditors make materiality decisions in practice. In this monograph, we attempt to remedy the deficiency ... In general, our results reveal that auditors do not make decisions, in practice, in the way tha clinical research studies found. Auditors' decisions in practice are consistent with the hypothesis that they may be influenced by managers, shareholders, and the risk of potential lawsuits. We conclude with a summary of what we know about materiality decisions. We offer three alternatives for the accounting profession to consider if it thinks it would do something to regulate such judgements: --1) Leave the decision to the auditor's judgement. -- 2) Legislate a specific materiality standard. -- 3) Require auditors to disclose their materiality levels in the audit report.
