Does Gender Affect Audit Quality

Abdulmalek Marwan M. Saeed

Abstract


This study investigates the connection between audit quality and the gender of the auditor (auditor sex). This literature review is to collect data. This can be done by doing a simple search on Google Scholar. With the data collected from the last ten years (2013–2023), we got 59 articles, but we took only 25 because they were the most suitable for our study. Results: Gender's impact on audit quality is complex and context-specific. Mixed findings suggest that male auditors may exhibit superior quality in certain scenarios, but overall, the relationship between gender and audit quality is influenced by factors such as competence, ethics, and gender stereotypes.
