The purchase of non‐audit services from incumbent auditors has generated considerable attention. Surprisingly, limited empirical evidence exists on the association of non‐audit services with firm value. Focusing on services related to financial information system (FIS), we find that the market value of equity is greater for firms that purchase FIS‐related services from their incumbent auditors relative to firms that do not. The levels of FIS fees are also positively related to firm value after controlling for total other fees, or total other non‐audit fees. Hence, despite the negative perception associated with non‐audit services, investors regard FIS‐related services as value‐adding activities.  相似文献

This article discusses the paper by Dutillieux et al., (2013). The comments are in four main areas, regarding the importance of the research question, the setting in which the study is located, the theoretical development of the study and some thoughts regarding both supply‐ and demand‐side considerations around auditor change.  相似文献

Using a system of simultaneous equations, this study examines the relation among external audit monitoring, in the US life insurance industry. We find insurers with higher leverage risk and surplus risk are more likely to use Big‐4 auditors and to pay higher fees. In return, insurers hiring Big‐4 auditors and paying higher audit fees have lower leverage risk and surplus risk. Second, the results suggest that mutual life insurers have a higher leverage risk and surplus risk than stock life insurers. This evidence is in contrast to that for property–liability insurance companies. Third, we find insurers are less likely to hire Big‐4 auditors and to pay higher audit fees after implementation of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act (SOX). Finally, life insurers with Big‐4 auditors or paying higher audit fees are more likely to take lower risks after the implementation of SOX.  相似文献

This study examines the impact of country-level corruption on audit fees. Using a sample of 102,934 companies from 48 countries over the period 1998–2014, the authors find that audit fees are positively associated with higher levels of corruption. They also discovered that corruption adds a significant margin to the premium paid to Big 4 (Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young and KPMG) auditors. The study opens up a new line of research and adds significantly to the academic literature on the Big 4 audit premium.

IMPACT

The study has several important implications for academics and policy-makers. These include discussion of the factors driving corruption and the role of auditing. Knowledge of the factors driving corruption should guide policy-makers to adoption of polices that could reduce corruption. The finding that audit fees are positively associated with corruption, as well as with audit quality, points to the potential for auditing as a tool for corruption control beyond its traditional role as an assurance service.  相似文献

We examine changes in the association between auditor type (Big 4, Second‐Tier, and Other non‐Big 4) and perceived financial reporting credibility in the wake of events (e.g., Andersen's failure, the implementation of SOX, creation of the PCAOB, etc.) which led to significant growth in Second‐Tier client portfolios and increased scrutiny of Second‐Tier audit practices. Our results reveal that financial reporting credibility of Second‐Tier clients was lower than that of Big 4 clients and was indistinguishable from that of Other non‐Big 4 clients pre‐Andersen. However, post‐Andersen, we find that financial reporting credibility of Second‐Tier clients is higher than that of Other non‐Big 4 clients and is indistinguishable from that of Big 4 clients. We expect that our results will be of interest to regulators, both in the United States and in the European Union, who have expressed concerns about the current state of competition in the audit market, management and boards of directors that are contemplating switching to a Second‐Tier audit firm, and academics investigating quality differences among audit firm types.  相似文献

基于1146家具有全国代表性的中小银行样本,探讨地方经济政策不确定性(LEPU)对中小银行资金跨区域配置的影响。结果发现:LEPU上升显著促进了中小银行资金跨区域配置。基准回归结果经过一系列稳健性检验后依然成立。在作用机制方面,LEPU上升加剧了中小银行本地经营的安全性风险和流动性风险,从而促使其进行资金跨区域配置。异质性分析表明,相较于城市商业银行,LEPU上升对于农村商业银行资金跨区域配置的促进作用更大。鉴于此,地方政府应尽量保证经济政策的连贯性和稳定性,以引导中小银行更好地服务本地实体经济。  相似文献

Despite the huge audit pricing literature, there is a dearth of evidence on the temporal dynamics of audit fee adjustments and the persistence of audit fees. Based on a sample of 76,867 panel observations for a sample of UK companies audited by the Big 4 over the period 1998 to 2012, we employ consistent lagged dependent variable panel estimators to provide new evidence on the persistence and dynamics of real Big 4 audit fees. Contrary to extant research, which assumes that audit fees adjust immediately in a single period, our empirical results indicate that Big 4 real audit fees are persistent, being partly dependent on their previous realisations. We conclude that static audit fee models omit a potentially important temporal dimension of audit pricing behaviour and that further research is warranted into dynamic audit fee models across other jurisdictions.  相似文献

This paper examines the effect of environmental policy stringency (EPS) on audit pricing. By exploiting the exogenous variation in environmental policies across 26 countries, we find that firms in countries with more stringent environmental policies incur lower audit fees. The inverse association is more pronounced in common law countries, in countries with a higher level of public enforcement of regulations and in countries with more investor protection. The lower audit fees are also more prominent for firms that are followed by more analysts and firms that have a greater institutional ownership. Furthermore, we find that firms in countries with strong regulations are better and more innovative at managing environmental risk, which implies that better environmental performance of the firms following stronger regulations could lower business risks and thus decrease audit fees. Overall, our findings suggest that compliant firms benefit from EPS.  相似文献

We examine whether supply shocks in the audit partner labor market induce clients to switch audit partners. We argue that audit partners in their early careers (i.e., junior partners) charge low audit fees to attract clients, which induces client firms to switch from senior partners to junior partners when there are more junior partners available. Utilizing the Big4 localization policy, we find that Big4 clients are more likely to replace senior auditors with junior auditors to cut costs after the policy. Furthermore, the results are mainly driven by clients who are charged high fees. Our empirical evidence enriches the understanding of auditor choice determinants and informs the ongoing debates surrounding new regulations for Big4 firms in China.  相似文献

We show that a news‐based measure of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) negatively forecasts momentum. A 1‐standard‐deviation increase in EPU is associated with a 1.11% decrease in risk‐adjusted momentum returns. The predictive power of EPU is robust after controlling for previously documented economic state variables and macroeconomic uncertainty. We provide an explanation for these results from the perspective of a fund flow‐induced trading mechanism and offer direct empirical support. The literature documents that momentum can be partially attributed to performance‐chasing mutual fund flows. We find that this flow‐induced mechanism functions more effectively in low EPU states, thereby generating stronger stock momentum.  相似文献

We examine the relationship between uncertainty (political, economic, and financial) on real earnings management (REM). Covering nine presidential elections in the U.S. from 1980 to 2012, we find that firms limit overproduction in pre-election years followed by reductions in REM activities in election years. We also show that economic and financial uncertainty (FU) stimulate firms’ use of REM through cutting back discretionary expenses such as advertising, research and development, and selling, general, and administrative expenses. We also find that firms with higher agency costs reduce REM during election years whereas larger firms accelerate REM during political, economic policy, and FU.  相似文献

The increase in regulation has caused the number of publicly traded Canadian public companies to decline. This study analyzes audit fee data from Audit Analytics from 2002 through 2015 for Canadian companies to determine if they have moved away from using Big 4 auditors. Charts and regression are used to analyze the data. Results show that there is a decline in the number of public audits from 2002 to 2015 that seems to correspond to the decline of Canadian public companies due to increased regulation. In spite of the decline in the number of publicly traded companies, the results of this study show that, of the total audits, the proportion done by Big 4 auditors is increasing, possibly due to the need for higher audit quality and more experienced auditors for the companies to be listed on stock exchanges. This leads to higher audit fees. As a result, many executives have decided to fund their companies with private equity. This decline in the number of publicly traded companies is not healthy for the Canadian market. Perhaps more incentives can be given to attract more public issuers, which will give investors more opportunities to invest, and thus, further strengthen the economy.  相似文献

选取2011年1月至2022年3月的时间序列数据,探讨经济政策不确定性对人民币汇率波动的非对称影响及投资者预期的中介效应。研究发现,相对经济政策不确定性上升加剧了人民币汇率波动,且呈现出明显的非对称特征,即在宏观经济状况较坏时的波动更大,投资者预期在其中发挥了重要的中介作用。鉴于此,应针对不同宏观经济状况采取差异化调控措施,提振投资者信心,避免形成人民币不良变动预期,预防人民币汇率的过度波动。  相似文献

全球贸易的不平衡,表现为美国急剧上升的经常账户赤字与中日等国家不断累积的贸易顺差之间的矛盾,并成为美国施压人民币汇率的理由。文章分析表明,国内经济结构、贸易方式甚至国际货币体系等因素部对国际贸易的不平衡构成重大影响,汇率政策不是国际贸易失衡的本质及唯一原因,也不是国际贸易再平衡的解药。寻求国际贸易再平衡的出路,关键因素不是汇率,而要从经济结构调整、贸易方式转变以及货币体系改革中寻求答案。  相似文献

依据2011—2021年我国283个城市面板数据,考量金融科技发展对城市金融韧性的影响。结果显示:金融科技发展主要通过提升金融体系运行效率与金融服务实体经济效能,进而增强城市金融韧性。异质性分析显示,金融科技发展对中、西部地区以及非中心城市金融韧性的提升作用更显著。经济政策不确定性对金融科技发展增强城市金融韧性具有负向调节作用,高市场化水平则具有正向调节作用。鉴于此,应持续优化金融科技发展政策体系,实施差异化区域发展战略,进一步完善政策稳定性保障机制,深入推进市场化改革进程。  相似文献

基于中文媒体构建的中国经济政策不确定性指数,研究经济政策不确定性对股价崩盘风险的影响效果和机制。结果显示:经济政策不确定性的提高会显著加剧股价崩盘风险,这表明经济政策不确定性是崩盘风险的诱因之一。通过对影响机制检验发现,经济政策不确定性对股价崩盘风险的正向作用,随着投资者意见分歧的增加而加强。在宏观经济良好时期,非国有股权和规模较大的企业,经济政策不确定性并未明显加剧股价崩盘风险,甚至起到了缓解股价崩盘风险的作用。  相似文献

作为中国资本市场中保护投资者利益的一种手段,法律惩戒在注册会计师行业监管中扮演着重要角色。本文通过对我国资本市场上市公司数据的研究表明,随着法律惩戒力度增强,审计意见和审计行为存在明显的变通可能性,注册会计师会更多地出具非标准审计意见类型的审计报告。这意味着,法律惩戒对审计意见类型具有重要影响,是注册会计师做出审计判断时考虑的一个重要因素。  相似文献
