The purpose of this paper is to describe the results of an effort to utilize Case Based Reasoning (CBR) to model a specific audit judgment task. To date most efforts to develop computational models of audit judgment have used strictly rule-based representation methods. Some researchers have recently adopted more robust structures to model the auditor domain knowledge. Although these recent efforts to extend the representation methods appear to be more accurate descriptions of auditor reasoning and memory, they still lack a comprehensive. theory to guide the development of the model.

Professional auditing has become much more complex over the past decade. This development has engendered a need for leveraging auditor expertise. In an attempt to meet this need, public accounting firms have been actively involved in supporting the development and application of artificial intelligence methods in audit services, which forms the foundation of their business.
