Judgment in the auditing profession as a subjective criterion in the decisions of auditors has a significant role in improving the quality of decision support for analysts, shareholders, and investors in the capital market. Therefore, recognizing the qualitative characteristics in this area can help the theoretical development of improving the quality of auditors' professional judgments. The purpose of this study is to develop the effectiveness of auditing professional judgment based on the mindset of auditors. In this study, to identify the components (auditing professional judgment) and research propositions (themes of auditors' mindfulness), meta-synthesis analysis was used with the participation of 12 experts and experts in the field of accounting and financial management at the university level. In the quantitative part, the identified components and propositions in the form of matrix questionnaires were evaluated by interpretive analysis by 18 auditors with work experience and a level of technical and specialized knowledge. The results showed that the statement of inferential mindfulness is the most influential theme of intuitive judgment in auditing, which can cause auditors to perform more effectively in professional judgment. This result suggests that inferential mindfulness is a factor in intuition in professional judgment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of peripheral uncertainty on the relationship between the herd behavior of investors and the price of negative stock shock. Because the capital market is one of the main pillars of the country's economic growth and development, the incidence of any disturbance and deviation in prices causes problems with allocating and equipping funds. Reducing stock prices is an example of the disorders created in the capital market. On the other hand, one of the factors that lead to the fluctuations of return and instability of financial markets is the herd behavior of investors. If investors lack sufficient information about environmental factors, environmental uncertainty occurs. Such a situation also affects the organization. Environmental uncertainty overshadowed the use of financial statements. Changes in stock prices and corporate status are cases that can not speak in full confidence in their occurrence. As a result, environmental uncertainty is part of the economic environment. To test the research hypotheses, 156 companies from the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2010 to 2020 were selected by screening method. To test the hypotheses, multivariate regression models were performed using STATA14 software. The results indicate that herd behavior has a significant effect on price shock and environmental uncertainty has no effect on the relationship between the two.

The certainty about retirement income is dependent on the longevity and the selected investment policy by individuals during their working years. Attention to longevity and investment risks is of high significance in making enough income for retirees. In this research, the impact of the objective formulation selection on investment decisions has been investigated. Two functions including terminal wealth objective formulation and retirement income objective formulation are applied to investigate these decisions. Based on the investment alternatives, 5 asset classes including Equity, Certificate of deposit (cash), real estate investment trust (REIT), gold coin, and foreign exchange have been selected for investment. According to the complexity of modeling in the aforementioned functions, the Metaheuristic Genetic algorithm has been used. The results are indicative of the importance of objective formulation selection. The retirement income objective function has the nature of more wealth accumulation and more control over economic and market turbulences through higher cooperation in investment and as a result, it has been recommended as the optimal function.
