Abstract (Swedish)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka förväntningsgapet mellan småföretagare och deras revisor, med grund i uppfattningen av revisorns roll, samt att se om det ser annorlunda ut för småföretagare som frivilligt använder revisor eller som enligt lag ska ha revisor.

Metoden i denna uppsats består av en kombination av en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ metod, Mixed Methods. En kvantitativ enkät samt kvalitativa intervjuer har använts.

Teorin som är använd i denna uppsatsen består av lagar, regler och uttalanden om revisorers arbete. Teorin består också av litteratur om förväntningsgapet, revisorns roll i samhället och den Nordiska Standarden.

Empirin består av småföretagare som fick svara på en enkät samt intervjuer med revisorer.... (More)

Empirin består av småföretagare som fick svara på en enkät samt intervjuer med revisorer. Enkäten och intervjuerna rör framförallt revisorns roll och förväntningsgapet.

Resultatet i uppsatsen visar på att revisorn har en betydelsefull roll, då deras arbete ska bygga förtroende i samhället. Undersökningen observerar vidare att det finns ett förväntningsgap mellan klienter och revisorer angående vad revisorns arbete ska omfatta. Dock råder det ingen större skillnad mellan revisionspliktiga och inte revisionspliktiga företagare när det gäller förväntningar, det beror snarare på revisorn och dennes prestation av regelverket. De olika förväntningar som ställs på revisorer hanterar revisorn genom kommunikation med klienterna. Studien påvisar att kommunikationen bör förbättras och effektiviseras eftersom det råder olika uppfattningar hos klienter om revisorns arbete. (Less)
Abstract

The empirical data consists of small firms that responded to a survey and interviews with auditors. The questionnaire and the interviews primarily concerns the role of the auditor and the expectation gap.

The results in this paper shows that the auditor has an important role, since their work aspires to build trust in the community. The study further notes that there is an expectation gap between clients and auditors regarding what the auditor's work should include. There is not much difference between business owners that are required to have auditors and those who voluntarily use auditors in terms of expectations, it rather depends on the auditor and his performance of the framework. The auditors handles the different expectations placed on them through communication with the clients. The study demonstrates that the communication should be improved and become more efficient as the views about the auditors work differs between different clients. (Less)
