dc.description.abstractAuditing standards that guide the auditing profession change and develop in line with the changes in the business world. In addition, various institutions conduct research and studies in this field. In 2020, the IAASB initiated a project to amend ISA 240, The Responsibilities Relating to Fraud in an Audit of Financial Statements. The reasons for the expectation gap regarding Fraud and going concerns and the possible solutions are investigated within this project's scope. In this study, the responses to the discussion paper published by the IAASB were examined. According to the results, the most important reasons for the expectation gap are that the public and the members of the financial reporting ecosystem, in general, do not have enough information about the audit, the auditors are not qualified enough, the audit is misevaluated, and parties in the ecosystem have unrealistic expectations. Among the most notable suggestions to narrow the gap are educating the members of the financial reporting ecosystem and the public, updating standards, preparing guides, and using technology/data analytics methods in auditing. In addition, the importance of clarifying key concepts such as materiality, reasonable assurance, auditing, Fraud, and professional skepticism is emphasized to narrow the expectation gap.
