利用2004~2012年中国A股上市公司财务数据,考察高管审计背景对公司盈余管理行为和审计定价决策的影响。研究中,将高管审计背景分为高管审计经历与事务所关联两个维度。研究发现,高管具有审计背景的公司为了实现较低风险水平下的私有收益最大化,有从应计盈余管理转向实施真实盈余管理的倾向,事务所可能采取的策略是增加额外的审计收费以弥补过高的审计风险,而"校友效应"却使事务所显著减少该类公司的审计收费。研究表明,高管审计背景可能会导致公司财务报告信息质量下降、审计风险上升,证实了其对公司财务报告信息质量及事务所审计质量的不利影响。本研究为加强对高管审计背景公司的监管及完善审计师跳槽的"冷却期"政策提供经验证据。  相似文献

本文通过对2001年至2004年在上海、深圳证券交易所首次公开发行(IPO)的296只新股(A股)的会计师事务所选择行为进行分析,旨在检验上市公司在新股发行过程中对会计师事务所选择的初始成本效益的权衡。以会计师事务所声誉作为审计质量的替代变量,并根据2001年至2004年各会计师事务所审计的发行公司的总家数排名、总资产排名以及会计师事务所自身的总资产排名等因素,对其赋予相同的权重,确定了11家会计师事务所为知名会计师事务所,其余为普通会计师事务所。自选择分析结果证明,发行公司在选择审计质量水平时,力图使抑价成本和审计收费成本之和最小,且依据自身规模和风险特性做出成本最小化决策。  相似文献

高管会计师事务所关联、审计任期与审计质量   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
本文研究了高管会计师事务所关联对审计任期(事务所任期)和审计质量的影响,以及事务所关联存在和不存在的条件下审计任期与审计质量的关系。实证结果表明,有事务所关联的公司更可能收到标准审计意见,从而说明事务所关联降低了审计质量;同时,事务所关联关系延长了审计任期,即存在事务所关联的公司比没有事务所关联的公司与事务所合作的时间更长。在有事务所关联的公司和没有事务所关联的公司中,审计任期与审计质量之间的关系不同,进而说明有事务所关联公司的审计质量并不取决于审计任期,而是事务所关联本身的影响所造成的。  相似文献

本文以2005-2009年间中国A股上市公司补充与更正报告中出现"会计差错更正"项目的公司为研究对象,分别以是否发生财务重述和重述调整方向为因变量,系统研究了事务所变更、审计意见类型对财务重述的影响。形成的结论主要有:被出具标准审计意见的公司,发生财务重述以及负向财务重述的概率均低于被出具非标审计意见的公司;没有发现事务所变更的公司发生财务重述和负向重述的概率高于事务所未变更的公司;而被出具标准审计意见的公司在事务所变更后发生负向重述的概率高于事务所未变更的公司,但没有发现其发生财务重述的概率高于事务所未变更的公司;未更换事务所的公司其前期被出具标准审计意见与发生财务重述的概率负相关,而与负向财务重述的关系不显著。  相似文献

本文锁定2016-2019年为上市公司出具关键审计事项的会计师事务所,以这些事务所承接的上市公司为样本,将被出具关键审计事项的公司定义为"被联结公司",将与之共享至少一位签字注册会计师的公司定义为"联结公司",研究因共享审计师形成的"执业网络"在关键审计事项出具时的效应.结果表明:共享审计师可以在向"被联结公司"出具关键审计事项时获取经验和信息,增强自身的沟通能力和执业质量,并将之运用于"联结公司",提升"联结公司"的审计质量和审计效率.这种效应类似于网络研究中的"传染"现象,故将其命名为"传染效应".进一步研究表明,"联结公司"业务集中度越高、自身规模和所聘事务所规模越大,则"执业网络"内注册会计师沉淀的经验和累积的能力越多,"传染效应"越明显.  相似文献

本文以2003-2017年国有上市公司为样本,探究了混合所有制改革对国有企业会计师事务所选择的影响.我们研究发现,国有企业混合所有制改革程度越高,更倾向于聘请国际"四大"会计师事务所审计.进一步的,混合所有制改革对国有企业会计师事务所选择的影响在高竞争行业、低市场化程度地区及信息透明度低的国有企业中更显著.此外,本文考察发现,混合所有制改革提高了国有企业融资约束水平,这构成了混改后国有企业选择高质量会计师事务所的一个重要动机.基于中介效应的检验发现,国企混改通过影响会计师事务所选择进而提高了公司会计信息质量.本文研究在丰富国有企业混合所有制改革和会计师事务所选择文献的同时,也为混合所有制改革的经济后果提供了经验证据,为进一步推进我国国有企业改革提供了参考与借鉴.  相似文献

对于会计师事务所来说,公司经营一旦倒闭,其投资者常把"经营失败"与"审计失败"划上等号,为其进行审计的会计师事务所也会负有连带责任.针对高风险客户,我们应该推广风险导向审计.审计风险与企业经营风险不可分割,威胁企业的风险也是审计风险的来源,作为审计人员,必须通过其职业判断能力通过企业的财务状况来判断企业的持续经营能力及其存在的经营风险.  相似文献

This small sample study provides additional evidence on the unsettled question of auditor independence: Does the provision of non‐audit services by an auditor compromise independence resulting in a poor quality audit? We also examine whether these findings vary across the “Big‐5” public accounting firms. Most prior studies addressing this question, using parametric approaches and various measures of audit quality, have reported conflicting results. Contrary to these studies, we use a non‐parametric approach and the probability of GAAP violation as a new measure of audit quality to address this question. Using data from a sample of Fortune 500 companies for the year 2000, we find that firms whose auditors provide substantial non‐audit services tend to have a higher propensity to violate GAAP. At the firm‐level analysis, we find that these results are more likely driven by few of the Big‐5 public accounting firms. For the remaining firms, the association between non‐audit services and quality of audit could not be established, primarily because of small sample size and lack of power in the test. Our main finding is consistent with other recent studies that provide evidence that the rendering of significant non‐audit services by auditors creates conflict of interest resulting in poor quality audits. Furthermore, our result of differences in these levels of association among the Big‐5 accounting firms represents a new finding, and suggests that there is a need for controlling them separately in research studies examining auditor independence.  相似文献

This paper examines the impact of IFRS adoption on the quality of accounting information within the Greek accounting setting. Using a sample of 101 firms listed in the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) for a period of eight years (2001–2008) we find convincing evidence that the implementation of IFRS contributed to less earnings management, more timely loss recognition and greater value relevance of accounting figures, compared to the local accounting standards. Also, our findings document that audit quality further complements the beneficial impact of IFRS since those companies that are audited by Big-5 audit firms exhibit higher levels of accounting quality. Our findings are robust in regard to different model specifications and after controlling for firm-specific effects like size, risk, profitability and growth opportunities.  相似文献

Regulators suggest that small audit firms join international accounting networks to reduce their resource constraints in serving large clients and providing high-quality service. Bills, Cunningham, and Myers (2016) investigate the issue in the United States and find that both audit fees and quality are higher for members of international accounting networks (i.e., member audit firms). We investigate the effects of network membership on audit fees and quality in China, a relatively weaker institutional environment than the United States. Using data of Chinese listed companies audited by non-Big N audit firms from 2001 to 2010, we find that member audit firms charge 3.9% higher fees than nonmember audit firms, much lower than the 30% fee premiums charged by U.S. member audit firms. We do not find consistent evidence that audit quality is higher for member audit firms. Overall, our results demonstrate that China's weak institutional environment may overwhelm the quality control brought by international accounting networks and that it may weaken or even offset the benefits of audit firms' participation in these networks, resulting in smaller or even no effects of membership on audit fees and quality.  相似文献

人力资本在会计师事务所中具有十分重要的意义。本文利用2009年我国会计师事务所及其非金融类上市公司客户的数据,以操控性应计额度量审计质量,检验会计师事务所中注册会计师所占比重以及注册会计师的学历、年龄、参加行业领军人才培训情况等人力资本特征对审计质量的影响,结果发现,在我国本土事务所中,注册会计师的年龄以及入选行业领军人才培训计划的人数与正向的操控性应计额之间存在显著的负向关系,这表明,会计师事务所中注册会计师的经验丰富程度和对培训的重视程度对于抑制客户的正向盈余管理行为、提高审计质量具有积极作用。文章没有发现会计师事务所中注册会计师的比重以及注册会计师中高学历者所占比重与审计质量之间存在显著关系的证据。  相似文献

By employing a Heckman two-stage selection model, we identify whether employing a financial expert with or without accounting expertise on the audit committee is optimal and how earnings quality varies across these optimal and suboptimal choices. Using four earnings quality measures (informativeness, timely loss recognition, earnings persistence, and accruals quality), we find no differences in earnings quality between firms optimally choosing an expert with or without accounting expertise, consistent with Demsetz and Lehn (J Polit Econ 93:1155–1177, 1985) and others who argue that when firms optimize their choice (i.e., accounting expertise), there should be no difference across the characteristic (i.e., earnings quality) being examined. We do find, however, earnings quality is significantly higher for firms that optimally choose an accounting expert relative to firms that choose (with/without accounting expertise) suboptimally. Finally, firms suboptimally choosing an accounting expert exhibit no improvement, or even lower earnings quality, than firms that optimally choose no accounting expert. Our results provide important evidence of the impact accounting expertise has on earnings quality when considering the firm’s choice.  相似文献

政府控制对审计质量的双重影响   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
本文从上市公司和会计事务所的产权性质与区域属性的角度,研究了政府控制对审计质量的影响。研究发现,国有企业和本地会计事务所审计的公司的盈余管理水平较低;而较低的盈余管理水平能够降低审计师出具非标意见的概率;同时,国有企业在控制了盈余管理水平的情况下,其得到非标意见的概率相对要低。研究结果表明,政府控制对审计质量的影响具有双重性:一方面,政府控制增强了会计事务所的"本土知识"优势和抵御公司压力的能力,进而提高了公司报表质量;另一方面,政府控制依据它对审计市场的控制降低了出具非标意见的概率,损害了审计质量。  相似文献

以财务报表重述公司为研究对象,考察财务报表重述公司年报审计质量。结果表明:财务报表重述的幅度对非标审计意见的出具有显著的影响力;初始差错年和报表重述年,注册会计师都能在一定程度上识别上市公司的盈余管理动机,并在审计意见中有所反映;审计师任期和对财务报表重述公司出具非标审计意见之间没有显著的相关性;事务所规模和非标审计意见的相关性并不显著,结论没有支持大事务所更有可能对重述公司出具非标审计意见。  相似文献

Using a sample of A-share listed companies on the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, this study examines the impact of voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure on independent audit demand in different institutional environments. The sample covers the 2008–2016 period and excludes firms that are required to disclose CSR information. The findings show that compared with companies that choose to not disclose such information, companies that voluntarily disclose CSR information prefer to employ “small” accounting firms for auditing services, although the auditing fees are much higher. However, as the institutional environment improves, this preference is weakened. Further analyses show that this preference is stronger in enterprises where CSR disclosure is driven by strong political motivations and managerial self-interest motivations. Legitimate motivations and economic motivations do not significantly impact the preference for “small” audit firms. Furthermore, this preference is more obvious in enterprises with poor operational performance and low information disclosure quality, and it increases as CSR disclosure level decreases. The study enriches our understanding of the economic consequences of voluntary CSR disclosure and the factors that influence independent audit demand. The results also have implications for the construction and regulation of China’s system for supervising CSR information disclosure in the transitional phase.  相似文献

我国审计市场的发展状况表明垄断型和过度竞争型的市场不利于审计行业的健康发展,前者不利于公平竞争、审计质量提高,后者则不利于提高审计效率、规模经济.目前,审计市场上的绝大多数优质客户资源被国外会计师事务所占据,国内会计师事务所在同其竞争时处于劣势地位.因此,提高本土会计师事务所的市场占有率,进而规范审计市场的竞争态势就显得尤为重要.本文利用种群竞争模型分析了影响会计师事务所实现竞争均衡的重要因素,得出我国会计师事务所应当实行差异化经营,同时要在自身的优势领域保持持续竞争力的结论.  相似文献
