چکیده مقاله:

The aim of the present study is to predict audit failure using metaheuristic algorithms in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. To achieve this objective, ۱,۸۴۸ firm-year observations (۱۵۴ companies over ۱۲ years) were collected from the annual financial reports of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period from ۲۰۱۱ to ۲۰۲۲. In this study, four metaheuristic algorithms (including Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), and Bee Colony Optimization (BCO)) were utilized, as well as two methods for selecting the final research variables (the two-sample t-test and the forward stepwise selection method) to create the model. The results from the metaheuristic algorithms indicate that the overall accuracy of the GA, PSO, ACO, and BCO algorithms is ۹۵.۳%, ۹۴.۵%, ۹۰.۶%, and ۹۲.۸%, respectively, demonstrating the superiority of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) compared to other metaheuristic algorithms. Furthermore, the overall results from the variable selection methods indicate the efficiency of the stepwise method. Therefore, in companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange, the stepwise method and the Genetic Algorithm (GA) provide the most efficient model for predicting audit failure.
