Title in Portuguese
A lógica nebulosa (fuzzy logic) aplicada na contabilidade: um modelo para os julgamentos de materialidade no planejamento da auditoria
Keywords in Portuguese
Auditoria

Logica matemática
Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo desta tese é a aplicação da lógica fuzzy e da teoria dos conjuntos fuzzy a certas teorias de negócios que requerem a adoção de "suposições irrealistas". Tais aplicações têm o propósito de "relaxar" essas suposições para tornar as teorias mais úteis no mundo real. Especificamente, este esforço de pesquisa foi direcionado para o desenvolvimento de um sistema especialista que incorpora lógica difusa em julgamentos de materialidade. A pesquisa resultou na extensão de modelos anteriores de julgamento de materialidade e ilustrou a aplicabilidade da lógica difusa a situações ambíguas de decisão contábil. Os julgamentos de materialidade normalmente envolvem uma grande quantidade de subjetividade e consideração de fatores qualitativos. A lógica fuzzy e a teoria dos conjuntos fuzzy, um meio matemático que trata especificamente da imprecisão e da ambiguidade, permitiram a consideração explícita desses fatores subjetivos e qualitativos. Pesquisas anteriores, literatura confiável e consultoria de auditor forneceram a experiência usada para projetar o modelo de materialidade. Essas fontes de conhecimento revelaram muitas características que, por sua natureza ambígua, não haviam sido incorporadas aos modelos anteriores. Utilizando o programa FuzzyTECH que se baseia no raciocínio fuzzy, o projeto detalhado do modelo de materialidade foi utilizado para desenvolver a base de conhecimento para o sistema especialista. A interface do usuário desenvolvida para o sistema de materialidade fuzzy permite respostas do auditor mais características da linguagem natural.

Fuzzy logic applied to accounting: a model for materiality judgments in audit planning

Abstract in English
The purpose of this thesis is the application of fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory to certain business theories that requires the adoption of "unrealistic assumptions". Such applications have for the purpose of "relaxing" these assumptions to make the theories more useful in the real world. Specifically, this research effort was directed toward the development of a expert system which incorporates fuzzy logic into materiality judgements. The research resulted in the extension of previous materiality judgement models and illustrated the applicability of fuzzy logic to ambiguous accounting decision situations. Materiality judgements typically involve a large amount subjectiveness and qualitative factor consideration. Fuzzy logic and Fuzzy Set Theory, a mathematical means which specifically addresses vagueness and ambiguity, permitted explicit consideration of these subjective and qualitative factors. Previous research, authoritative literature, and auditor advice provided the expertise used to design the materiality model. These knowledge sources revealed many characteristics which, because of their ambiguous nature, had not been incorporated into previous models. Using the program FuzzyTECH which relied upon fuzzy reasoning, the detailed design of the materiality model was used to develop the knowledge base for the expert system. The user interface developed for the fuzzy materiality system permits auditor responses which are more characteristic of natural language.
