  • Wiklund, T.E. & Fallan, E. (2024). Adoption of RPA technology in micro and small audit entities. Journal of emerging technologies in accounting, p. 1-21.
    • RPA is robotic process automation, i.e. (here) technology to enable automated audits.
    • The paper analyses the non-adoption of such technologies among micro and small audit entities. In addition to the standardisation-regulation lag observed in other studies, our study observes two other lags as well: a supple side (auditor) lag and a demand side (audit client) lag. This is the first RPA study to focus on micro and small audities, and it is also the first that distinguishes between micro and small independent audit firms and micro and small offices affiliated with the Big 4.
    • The paper will be a part of Tom Erik Wiklund’s ph.d. I am his supervisor.

    • This paper applies a theoretical framework of demand for (environmental reporting) information that is further developed from that of Fallan (2013) below. An important part of the framework is the stewardship incentive demand (ex ante use of information), formally derived in Gjesdal’s (1981, JAR) seminal paper “Accounting for stewardship”.

    • A PDF of the whole paper, including external appendices, is available here.
    • I am particularly happy with the (within CSR reporting research) novel idea and approach (new application and combination of theories for the research area) of this paper. The availability of this contribution is partially reduced by the fact that important parts of the paper, in the journal edition, is placed in external appendices (that the paper refers to). However, in the PDF above the external appendices are included.
    • I am also happy that Carol Adams and Carlos Larrinaga are recognising this, citing and discussing the paper in their large meta-analysis: “Adams, C. A. & Larrinaga, C. (2019). Progress: engaging with organisations in pursuit of improved sustainability accounting and performance. Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, 32(8), 2367-2394.
    • This paper (Fallan, 2015c) also applies the idea of stewardship incentive demand, adopted in an environmental reporting context by Fallan (2013) from the seminal work of Gjesdal (1981, JAR) “Accounting for stewardship”.

    • The most important contribution of this paper is probably the theoretical framework of CSR reporting objectives (developed from traditional financial accounting objectives, e.g. Gjesdal (1981)).
    • The most innovate part of the theoretical framework is the “ex ante use of reporting” concerning the stewardship/accountability/control objective – i.e. use of accounting information before it is reported (cf. Gjesdal, 1981). The idea is that if a steward/agent knows she/he is going to be held accountable for her/his actions/decisions (through the reported information), the steward/agent has an incentive to act more in line with the master’s/principal’s objectives in order to have favorable information to report. Thus, CSR reporting may be in demand even if very few stakeholders read it. They want it to be there for stewardship purposes.
