    Abstract: 關鍵查核事項之誕生係為增進查核報告之溝通價值,然而溝通價值之增進需要建立在關鍵查核事項之說明能夠被財務報表使用者理解。故本研究以可讀性作為資訊被理解之衡量標準。根據過去心理學和非會計領域之文獻,發現女性在過度自信程度與風險偏好程度皆較男性低且女性之寫作技巧和表達能力較好。本研究欲觀察女性寫作能力較佳的狀況,是否會體現在關鍵查核事項之可讀性上。因此本研究探討會計師性別和關鍵查核事項可讀性之關聯性。實證結果發現,女性會計師撰寫之關鍵查核事項可讀性較高,對於財務報表使用者來說比較容易理解。
    The purpose of key audit matters is to enhance the communication value of audit reports. However, the achievement of this objective considerably depends on whether the contents of key audit matters can be easily understood by users of financial statements. Therefore, readability is used as a measurement of how well the information is understood in this study. Prior literatures in psychology and non-accounting fields indicate that woman tend to have lower degree of overconfidence and lower risk preference than man. Moreover, woman are likely equipped with better writing skills and expression ability. This study explores the relationship between the gender of accountants and the readability of key audit matters. The empirical results show that the key audit items written by female accountants are more readable and easier to understand for users of financial statements.
