Kay W Tatum

Kay W Tatum serves as an Associate Professor in the Accounting Department within the Miami Herbert Business School at the University of Miami, where she contributes to academic instruction and research in auditing and financial accounting disciplines.

Her research centers on auditing practices, with emphases on expanded audit reporting standards, audit committee efficacy, and regulatory impacts on audit quality. She has extensively investigated the United Kingdom's implementation of enhanced auditor reports, analyzing consequences for large public firms and smaller, riskier entities on the Alternative Investment Market. Additional work addresses international auditing standards development, technological integration in auditing, and corporate governance frameworks.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent empirical focus on regulatory changes in audit environments, particularly UK-based studies examining investor reactions, audit fee structures, and reporting effectiveness. Her work demonstrates evolving trends from foundational audit committee guidelines (2004–2009) toward contemporary assessments of reporting expansions for diverse company types, highlighting persistent gaps in informational value for stakeholders.
