description The main objective of this study is to identify the variables that reduce the audit expectation gap and to prescribe a model in doing so in Bangladeshi context. Prominent researchers from various countries suggested several factors in reducing the audit expectation gap. Out of whom only the impact of audit education and the implementation of Financial Reporting Act regulations (FRA-2015 of Bangladesh) have been studied so far in Bangladesh; which indicates the research gap. This motivated the current study in identifying the holistic view for drawing a rigorous conclusion. In doing so, Likert 5 point scale based structured questionnaire has been randomly surveyed to 50 respondents including 20 university faculty members of accounting and auditing discipline; 10 qualified and practicing Chartered Accountants; and a group of 20 articled students of accounting bodies from Bangladesh. Principal component tool of factor analysis and Pearson’s correlation analysis have been employed in analyzing the collected data. Correlation results prove that the identified variables reduce the audit expectation gap significantly and factor analysis strongly recommends a model that reduces the audit expectation gap in Bangladesh.
