In Zoe-Vonna Palmrose's article "PCAOB Audit Regulation a Decade after SOX: Where it Stands and What the Future Holds," she discussed the importance of AuditorSkepticism and the emphasis of this concept on PCAOB initiatives. In fact, it would appear that in many of the cases that we read in this course, the auditors lacked exercising "Professional Skepticism." The attached articles, "A Model and Literature Review of Professional Skepticism in Auditing" by Mark W. Nelson from Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, Volume 28 Number 2 (2009), pp. 1 - 34, and "Development of a Scale to Measure Professional Skepticism" by R. Kathy Hurtt from Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, Volume 29 Number 1 (2010), pp. 149 - 171 provide an overview of and a model for auditor skepticism.
