judgment

judgment
1. An informed and educated opinion. The use of judgment is central to the selection and evaluation of *audit evidence. Auditors are continually called on to apply their professional judgment to items that can be open to conflicting interpretation, but the professional frameworks within which auditors work are intended to channel their judgment along rational lines. It has been suggested that judgment "pervades accounting and auditing," yet the judgment of external auditors "should be exercised within the existing accounting framework, not independently of it" (*Cohen Commission Report, 1978, 16 and 14). 2. The formal pronouncement of a legal or moral decision.
