The circular economy, as a new paradigm for sustainable development, demands robust measurement and assurance mechanisms. Auditing, with its pivotal role in verifying and evaluating financial reporting, becomes a critical tool within this paradigm. This research aims to identify key components and indicators of audit reporting within the circular economy framework and to examine the influence of legitimacy theory. This study, based on content analysis and grounded theory of a purposive sample of 26 experts, shows that information quality and transparency, organizational culture, auditor natural and competence, environmental performance, and organizational structural characteristics significantly impact audit reporting within the circular economy paradigm. Moreover, the research proposes strategies to enhance this reporting, including monitoring and responsibility, the development of sustainability-based audit frameworks, and the adoption of innovative technologies within the context of the circular economy. The findings of this research highlight the potential of audit reporting within the circular economy paradigm to improve organizational performance, create sustainable value, and amplify social impact. As such, this topic is poised to become a central research focus within the domains of accounting, auditing and sustainability.
