Abstract [en]

Recently, we have been hit by a pandemic and previous financial crises that have shaken the global economy. This has meant that the auditor has become increasingly important when the financial market is uncertain. Previous research has focused on studying the auditor's role and involvement in crises. The research indicates that counseling increases during times of crisis and that this counseling can have a negative impact on the quality of the audit but also the auditor's independence. Something that thus became interesting to investigate is how the auditor's independence is affected by such crises. We have chosen to use a qualitative study with an abductive approach. To conduct this study, we conducted eight interviews with auditors who worked at various large auditing firms. The study shows that counseling increased during a crisis and that the relationship between auditor and client became closer as clients needed help in the form of crisis management. We could also see that the auditors' independence is unchanged during a crisis

Abstract [sv]

Den senaste tiden har vi präglats av en pandemi och tidigare finansiella kriser som skakat om den globala ekonomin. Detta har medfört att revisorn får en allt mer större betydelse när den ekonomiska marknaden är osäker. Tidigare forskning har fokuserat på att studera revisorns roll och inblandning i kris. Forskningen indikerar på att rådgivningen ökar under kristider samt att denna rådgivning kan ha en negativ påverkan på revisionskvaliteten men även revisorns oberoende. Något som därmed blev intressant att undersöka är hur revisorns oberoende påverkas av sådana kriser. Vi har valt att använda oss av en kvalitativ undersökning med en abduktiv ansats. För att genomföra denna studie så har vi genomfört åtta intervjuer med revisorer som arbetat på olika stora revisionsbyråer. Studien visar att rådgivningen ökat under kristid samt att relationen mellan revisor och klient blev tätare då klienterna är i behov av hjälp i form av krishantering. Vi kunde även se att revisorernas oberoende är oföränderlig under en kris.
