Résumé

This article seeks to bring evidence on public value co-creation between public auditors and auditees, with a focus on the environment, as a matter of pressing interest for the citizens. We analyse data from performance audit reports issued by the European Court of Auditors: the tonality of audit conclusions and the corresponding auditees’ replies and the degree of acceptance and implementation of audit recommendations by the auditees. The analysis is performed using the theoretical perspectives of institutional logics and public value co-creation. We use qualitative and quantitative methods, including sentiment analysis and bivariate analysis. We find evidence that the EU public auditors increased their focus on environmental issues, following an increasingly trending institutional logic of focusing on non-financial topics of public interest. However, the tonality of environment-related audit conclusions and the auditees’ replies does not differ from the non-environment-related ones. We also demonstrate that public auditors co-created public value together with the auditees through a significantly higher acceptance of their recommendations in environmental than in non-environmental audits. The article contributes to the existing literature by using data from a supranational supreme audit institution and by applying an innovative research methodology in the audit field (sentiment analysis). It also offers practitioners valuable insights on performance audit’s evolution and impact. Although the data is limited to one supreme audit institution, this research can open future research avenues to perform comparative analysis with other supreme audit institutions or extend the research scope to content analysis of the substance of audit findings.
