| Abstract: |
This paper examines disclosures contained in supreme audit institutions’ (SAIs) audit reports, and the extent to which auditor-generals’ characteristics (internal factors to SAIs), national culture and governance quality (external environment of SAIs) impact on such disclosures. Using data drawn from SAIs from 21 countries over a 10-year period and insights drawn from upper-echelons theory, our findings suggest that the level of financial audit disclosures is higher than that of performance audit disclosures. |
