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...

Decision‐support systems can be improved by enabling them to use past decisions to assist in making present ones. Reasoning from relevant past cases is appealing because it corresponds to some of the processes an expert uses to solve problems quickly and accurately. All this depends on an...

This paper reports on the continued evaluation of EDP‐XPERT, and expert system for assisting Computer Audit Specialists (CASs) in evaluating the reliability of EDP controls in advanced computer environments. The current evaluation of the system involved four phases. First, Senior CASs used the...

This paper demonstrates concepts, collectively termed interpretive structural modeling, which can aid in the development of decision-support systems through: (1) creating a structure which helps identify the presence or absence of information necessary for decision-making; (2) providing a...
