摘要
I examine the relationship between audit scope and auditor tenure and the hours of labor charged to audit activities (e.g. planning, internal control evaluation and testing, etc.) by a regional public accounting firm across a sample of governmental audits. I find that audit resources are generally allocated in a manner consistent with expectations derived from generally accepted governmental auditing standards. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
