Behavioral Research in Auditing: A Review and Synthesis

In the first edition of the Handbook of Organizational Behavior, I reviewed the research about auditors that could be considered as "behavioral." That first review included studies that were published to 1991 in seven leading accounting and auditing academic research journals. In updating this review to 1998,1 include the same seven journals, as they are still considered to be the preeminent outlets for behavioral auditing studies.
