The purpose of this article is to explore the effects and disadvantages of the lack of a theoretical audit framework. Considering that no general agreement has been reached on a theoretical framework so far, the necessity of a theoretical framework as well as the effects of its absence for auditing have been examined. The research method is to use the structural equation model and analyze the statistical results related to the questionnaire prepared for this purpose. Research findings show that the lack of theoretical framework can lead to a lack of understanding of the role of independent auditing and training and understanding of auditing can be challenged, can reduce the acceptance of auditing standards , It can be effective in neglecting and not identifying areas that need standardization, , can be effective, can make the process of harmonization and globalization of auditing standards more difficult and slow, and can also lead to the need for constant revision of auditing standards (instability).

In recent years, the quality of audit documentation and its impact on audit quality in auditing standards (such as PCAOB Standard 3) has received more attention. According to auditing standards, audit documentation is the record of audit procedures performed relevant audit evidence obtained, and conclusions the auditor reached. The importance of audit documentation is determined by the need to provide evidence that corroborates the auditor's opinion, as well as to provide information about the various stages of the audit process. The present study aims to design a model of audit documentation quality with a grounded theorizing approach. The research method is qualitative. In order to conduct in-depth and semi-structured interviews, 16 partners of audit firms, directors of the audit organization and financial managers of companies were selected through a purposeful process. The research findings were identified as a paradigm model with 14 categories for causal conditions, 6 categories for context conditions, 6 categories for intervening conditions, 6 categories for strategy and 3 categories for consequences related to the main research phenomenon. The results showed that the quality of audit documentation and its evaluation is complex and multifaceted in nature and in addition to personality and auditor characteristics, it is also affected by the micro and macro environment around the audit field. Accordingly, in order to comprehensively examine the issue, various aspects have been examined in developing the quality model of audit documentation

Estimating the time budget of any independent audit engagement is often a subjective estimation done without paying attention to uniform criteria, therefore, the audit profession does not enjoy its benefits in project planning and control. Also, the auditor's estimation of time budget can be one of the effective factors in determining audit fees. The purpose of this study is to provide a practical model to reasonably estimate a risk-based time budgeting for independent audit of financial statements. The research method was literature review, interviewing experts, distributing questionnaires and using grounded theory to collect data in order to present an applied model and review the budget form. According to the proposed model, at the stage of work acceptance, the time budget is initially estimated based on the assessed risk for each part of the budget form and then initial estimated hours will be adjusted by obtaining an understanding or overview from the customer. The proposed model of this study has been formulated as an executive instruction, and its mechanization for deployment is now at the production phase, in collaboration with a specialized working group of partners and managers in one of the largest private sector audit institutions in our country.
