Abstract:
ABSTRACT Machine learning methods are currently the object of considerable study by the artificial intelligence community. Research on machine learning carries implications for decision making in that it seeks computational methods that mimic input‐output behaviors found in classes of decision‐making examples. At the same time, research in statistics and econometrics has resulted in the development of qualitative‐response models that can be applied to the same kind of problems addressed by machine‐learning models—particularly those that involve a classification decision. This paper presents the theoretical structure of a generalized qualitative‐response model and compares its performance to two seminal machine‐learning models in two problem domains associated with audit decision making. The results suggest that the generalized qualitative‐response model may be a useful alternative for certain problem domains.Keywords:

With the development of economy,auditing will transit from traditional auditing concentrating on financial auditing to modern auditing,putting emphasis on performance auditing.It not only pays attention to economic benefits,but also to ecological benefits.As the branch of performance auditing,we should also give attention to environment performance auditing.This paper firstly conducts introductions on the contents,objectives and characteristics of performance auditing and environment performance auditing,then analyses the relationship between the two auditings and finally conducts discussions on how to develop environment performance auditing.

Auditing procedure is the summation of working steps of auditing organizations and personnel to reach auditing objective.The best way to settle the contradictions between auditing procedure and tasks is to raise auditing work efficiency and make effective use of audited results,we should learn advanced auditing methods,carry out regular audit,make use of the results of social auditing and interior auditing,carry out computeraided auditing so as to raise auditing efficiency.

This paper describes Energy Auditing techniques used throughout the world. Details of references to Energy Auditing discovered during an extensive literature search conducted by the author are recorded, and the usefulness of various descriptions of the detailed practicalities involved in Energy Auditing is discussed. The practical methods used by some professional auditors to audit multi-storey office buildings in New Zealand are described. Conclusions are reached about both the problems encountered in auditing and the prospect for wider application of energy auditing principles and practice in the future.

Audits play an important role in improving the services to patient care. Our department was involved in carrying out Audits by the trainees on regular basis as suggested by the Royal college and each House officer or the Registrar rotating through was doing an Audit in his/her tenure. Ninteen Audits were done in 3 years in the Pediatric department. We used the criteria suggested for evaluating the quality of Audits and put into the category of full Audits, Partial Audits, Potential Audits and planning Audits. Six of our Audits were full Audits, eleven were partial Audits, two were Potential Audits and none were Planning Audits. We think that as a general trend we had similar shortcomings in quality of our Audits which need to be improved by involving seniors specially in implementing the changes suggested in the Audits otherwise it will not fulfill the Aims and objectives.

Results of a survey conducted early in 1978, about the state of psychiatric audits in Ontario, are presented and discussed. Of the facilities that responded 66% reported the existence of an audit system for psychiatric care. The picture that evolves from the survey shows that audits are comprehensive in only 52% of Ontario facilities, more so in the provincial psychiatric hospitals than in psychiatric units in general hospitals. The audits are multidisciplinary in 64% of all facilities. While only 50% of facilities involved in audits felt that audits have a positive impact on improvement of psychiatric care, 71% were positive that audits have contributed to continuing staff education. The authors report their experience in introducing a criteria audit system. Factors influencing the selection, as well as advantages and criticisms of this model are discussed.
