Abstract

This study is aimed at developing an ERMI to be considered for utilisation by Zimbabwean audit firms. The proposed ERMI will guide audit partners and chief risk officers in assessing engagement risk for potential clients before accepting or rejecting them for an audit engagement. A Delphi process was employed to a panel of engagement risk experts, namely audit partners and chief risk officers. This study has identified engagement risk factors that should be assessed before client acceptance in the Zimbabwean context. It has further provided the ERMI which could be considered and adopted by Zimbabwean firms when they make a decision whether to accept or reject a potential client. It is envisaged that this instrument, will be pivotal in the reduction of reputational risk associated with litigation that follows when the auditee fails. Other countries could adopt the approach utilised to get to the ERMI for country specific ERMIs.
