Abstract

This research is conducted to examine the relationship between components of risk assessment, environmental control and control activities of internal control system and the effectiveness of the audit program in Vietnamese firms. Data were collected by sending questionnaires to management, internal auditors, and accountants of Vietnam firms and feedback of 87 responses. By testing Cronbach¡¯s Alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Analysis of Variables (ANOVA), the results show that control environment, risk assessment and control activities contribute significantly to an effective audit program. These results indicate that Vietnamese firms lack required experiences to cope with the current instruments of internal control assessment.
