Enterprise Forecasting using Key Audit Matters
以關鍵查核事項進行企業預測
摘要
Most investors regard enterprise forecasting as a valuable tool when making investment decisions; in addition to reflecting the operational performance of an enterprise at a given time in the future, it helps internal business managers to make intelligent management decisions. However, when undertaking enterprise forecasting, it is crucial to obtain key information and use the most appropriate approach to generate forecasting information so that investors can thoroughly understand the status of a company and use the forecasting information to determine whether or not to invest in the company. Key audit matters (KAM) are the most important matters to the audit of the financial statements of the current period according to the professional judgment of the certified public accountant. The disclosure of KAM aims to enhance information transparency and value relevance of audit reports. However, the disclosure of KAM is still inconclusive with respect to whether it can improve the usefulness of enterprise forecasting. This study performed textual analysis of key audit matters (KAMs) to forecast enterprise operational performance, credit risk, and stock price, to provide a reference for investors when making decisions, thereby enabling them to increase their profits. Our research objective was achieved by designing an enterprise forecasting process based on KAMs, developing related enterprise forecasting techniques, and demonstrating and evaluating the proposed enterprise forecasting approach.
