本文讨论了前任会计师事务所的审计质量对公司更换审计师以后可操控性应计利润的影响。我们发现,四大对国内非四大转过来的新客户更加谨慎。这些客户在接受四大审计的第一年,可操控性应计利润水平显著低于四大所审计的其他公司,包括从其他四大转来的公司。这说明,四大已经在客观上提高了前非四大客户的审计风险。但是对于非四大而言,则没有这种差异,无论新客户的前任审计师是四大还是非四大,其所审客户的整体可操控性应计利润水平没有显著差异。本文的研究结果表明在一定程度上国内事务所对前任事务所审计风险的敏感度低于四大。  相似文献

本文以2001-2009年被证监会处罚的会计师事务所为样本,分别从会计师事务所和CPA个人两个层面检验了行政处罚对审计质量的影响。研究发现,在被证监会行政处罚后,受罚事务所或CPA所审计的上市公司的操控性应计利润没有显著降低,会计盈余稳健性也没有显著提高,并且行政处罚力度的差异对上市公司的操控性应计利润和会计盈余稳健性也无显著影响,这些发现表明我国证监会对违规事务所和CPA的行政处罚并未显著改进上市公司的审计质量。对此现象,监管部门应当反思,并引起重视。  相似文献

随着市场经济的发展,注册会计师在为客户提供审计服务的同时,还为其提供包括管理咨询服务等在内的非审计服务。非审计服务在审计服务蓬勃发展时期已经存在。非审计服务的提供是否会影响审计独立性成为审计学术界和职业界关注的焦点。我国的非审计服务的时间较短展,那么,在我国,非审计服务对审计独立性会造成怎样的影响?对此,本文研究了在我国注册会计师提供非审计服务对审计独立性的影响。本文在界定了相关概念和文献回顾的基础上用经济学理论解释非审计服务。对审计独立性的影响,对我国的审计行业进行了深入的分析。理论分析表明:非审计服务是影响审计独立性的一个可能因素,但在我国,非审计服务不会对审计独立性造成实质性的损害;然后以披露的上市公司的非审计服务费用为样本对非审计服务对审计实质独立性的影响进行了研究。审计服务费用和非审计服务费用总额的大小、非审计服务费用比重的大小与审计意见均不显著相关,在我国,非审计服务不会损害审计的独立性;最后在上述理论和实证的基础上,提出我国应大力发展非审计服务,并且从会计师事务所层面提出了政策建议。  相似文献

本文利用2001-2013年中国上市公司的经验数据,采用分位数回归方法,使用可操控性应计绝对值表示审计质量,考察审计费用与审计质量之间的关系。研究发现:审计费用和审计质量之间不是一直存在显著性的关系,当审计质量处于较低的分位数水平时,审计费用和审计质量无显著关系,随着审计质量分位数水平的提高,即审计质量的降低,审计费用对审计质量的影响逐渐显著,而且该影响表现出"马太效应":随着审计质量分位数水平提高,审计费用对审计质量的回归系数值越来越大。考虑审计师规模后,与非十大事务所相比,十大事务所表现出的对审计质量的敏感性更强,对较低的可操控性应计容忍度更低,说明十大的审计质量更高,其政策含义是事务所做强做大有助于提高审计质量。  相似文献

以2001~2010年我国上市商业银行为研究对象,从盈余管理的角度,以异常贷款损失拨备作为审计独立性的代理变量,以未预期费用作为经济依赖的代理变量,验证了审计师在银行业的经济依赖对审计独立性的影响.研究结果表明,未预期审计费用、总费用和非审计费用率对异常贷款损失拨备没有显著影响,而未预期非审计费用则对异常贷款损失拨备具有显著的负向影响.总体而言,审计师在为上市商业银行提供业务过程中,过高的经济依赖,促使其接受了客户的盈余管理偏好,审计独立性受到损害.  相似文献

根据证监会的规定,上市公司应当在年度报告中披露支付给会计师事务所的报酬。然而,我国每年仍有一定数量的公司没有按照规定披露审计费用。为此,本文从审计独立性和投资者感知审计质量两个视角分析审计收费信息隐藏情境下的审计质量。研究发现:(1)如果上市公司不披露审计费用信息,那么会弱化可控应计与非标审计意见之间的正向关系,这意味着不披露审计费用可能会有损审计独立性;(2)不披露审计费用的公司所披露的超预期盈余的盈余反应系数较低,即投资者对这类公司的感知审计质量较低。  相似文献

本文以2007-2009年沪市公司为研究对象,实证分析了这些上市公司的审计师性别差异与审计质量之间的关系。研究发现,签字注册会计师中女性审计师占的比例越大,所审计的公司操控性应计越低,两个审计师如果都是女性其操控性应计最低;签字注册会计师中女性审计师占的比例越大,越可能签署非标意见,两个审计师如果都是女性,最可能签署非标意见。进一步研究发现,女性审计师签署非标意见受上一期审计意见、本期操控性应计和自身学历的显著影响。  相似文献

由于权责发生制下的会计盈余分为有现金流支持的收现利润和没有现金流支持的应计利润两部分,所以应计质量在很大程度上决定了盈余质量。本文深入分析了我国上市公司应计质量与审计意见之间的关系,并运用回归分析法,考察了应计质量对审计意见的解释性。研究结果表明,虽然总体上来看上市公司的应计质量与审计意见之间存在正相关关系,但是这种相关性仅仅在ST类公司中表现出了显著性,而在非ST类公司中并没有表现出显著性。由此可见,我国注册会计师的审计质量仍然有待提高。  相似文献

“四大”审计质量在中国存在差异吗?   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
本文以2002—2008年由四大审计的中国上市公司为研究样本,采用操控性应计利润和会计盈余稳健性作为衡量审计质量的指标,检验四大之间的审计质量是否存在差异。在中国,普华永道中天的市场份额远远高于其他三大所,根据理论预期其审计质量也应显著高于(或者不低于)其他三大所。选取四大为研究对象,可以避免大小所之间的专业能力、事务所声誉和自选择等因素对审计质量的影响。研究发现普华永道中天审计质量没有显著高于其他三大会计师事务所,甚至在部分检验中,普华永道中天审计质量更低。这表明基于中国独特的市场法律环境,四大没有采取一贯的审计质量策略。  相似文献

We examine whether auditor independence is affected by the amount spent on non‐audit services. Faster growth in non‐audit fees and longer time periods over which non‐audit services are purchased might reduce the auditor's independence from that client. Our results do not provide any support for a relationship between non‐audit fee growth rates or the length of time of the non‐audit fee relationship with the client and discretionary accruals, our measure of earnings management. We do find some evidence that the interaction of the non‐audit fee time‐period measures and client importance is positive and significantly related to discretionary accruals.  相似文献

The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the recent findings in Gaver and Utke (2019) (GU) who find that seasoned industry specialist auditors provide higher audit quality. We first illustrate how the magnitude of residuals from the accruals model can vary significantly by industry, thus highlighting the importance of including industry fixed effects when the dependent variable is discretionary accruals. We next replicate GU’s findings. We first attempt to replicate prior literature after including industry fixed effects in the audit quality (discretionary accruals) models. This is an important control, as the relevant benchmark for a firm with an industry specialist auditor is a peer firm in the same industry with a non-specialist auditor. We find that after including industry fixed effects, there is no association between seasoned industry specialist auditors and discretionary accruals. We also find that the association between industry specialization and discretionary accruals is very sensitive to the way in which the researcher calculates specialization. Our findings are informative for shareholders of public companies who vote on auditor ratification.  相似文献

In Korea, regulators could assign auditors to firms. We investigate the relationship among audit fees, mandatory auditor assignment, and the joint provision of non-audit and auditor services in Korea. We find that assigned auditors charge significantly higher audit fees than freely selected auditors. We also find that the joint provision of non-audit and audit services does intensify the relation between auditor assignment and audit fees. Combined with the results of other studies that have shown that firms audited by assigned auditors report smaller amounts of discretionary accruals than firms audited by freely selected auditors, our results suggest the possibility that mandatory auditor assignment may improve auditor independence.  相似文献

We investigate whether the characteristics of audit committee (AC) chairs are associated with decisions about auditor choice, audit fees and audit quality. Using hand-collected Australian data, firms with AC chairs who have longer tenure and multiple AC memberships across several boards are found to be more likely to choose Big 4 and/or industry specialist auditors, pay higher audit fees and have lower discretionary accruals. Those AC chairs with higher business qualifications are more likely to hire a Big 4 auditor, pay higher audit fees and have lower discretionary accruals, while AC chairs with professional qualifications are more likely to hire a Big 4 and/or industry specialist auditor. In contrast, firms with AC chairs who are executive directors are less likely to hire a Big 4 auditor and have higher discretionary accruals. Our findings contribute to the literature by documenting that various characteristics of AC chairs are important for enhancement of auditor selection and audit quality.  相似文献

审计任期与审计质量:来自中国证券市场的经验证据   总被引:54,自引:6,他引:48  
本文以中国证券市场上2000年至2002年期间获得标准无保留审计意见的上市公司为样本,使用经过一定调整后的截面Jones模型估计出的公司操纵性应计利润的绝对值作为审计质量的衡量指标,考察了会计师事务所审计任期与审计质量之间的关系。研究发现,在控制了事务所变更、事务所特征、行业成长性、公司规模、经营业绩、资产负债率、上市年龄以及样本所在年度后,审计任期与公司操纵性应计利润的绝对值呈正U型关系,即审计任期与审计质量呈倒U型关系。进一步分析发现,当审计任期小于一定年份(约6年)时,审计任期的增加对审计质量具有正面影响,而当审计任期超过一定年份(约6年)时,审计任期的增加对审计质量具有负面影响。  相似文献

通过对2001~2003年A股上市公司的实证研究发现:审计师变更与公司可操纵应计利润的增长具有显著正相关关系,且两者关系在不同年度、不同前期审计意见的情况下有所不同.这表明,一方面审计师变更影响到后任审计师的独立性,即公司能够通过更换审计师实现盈余管理的目标;另一方面,对前期非标审计意见的公司,审计师采取了较为谨慎的做法,且伴随着监管政策的逐渐强化,后任审计师的独立性逐年提高.  相似文献

This study investigates the association between discretionary accruals and Big Six and non-Big Six auditors, and the direction of auditor change. We hypothesize that there is no significant difference in discretionary accruals between Big Six and non-Big Six clients when there is low incentive for auditors to provide high-quality audits, as in Korea.Upon examination of the discretionary accruals of firms listed on the Korean Stock Exchange from 1994 to 1998, we find there is no significant difference between the discretionary accruals of firms with Big Six and non-Big Six auditors. This holds true for firms that switch from non-Big Six to Big Six auditors and vice versa. These resources imply that there may be no difference in audit quality between Big Six and non-Big Six auditors in Korea. This is consistent with other studies in Korea, while inconsistent with the findings of previous studies on audit quality in other countries.  相似文献

This study examines the effect of audit risks in the Korean initial public offering (IPO) market on the designated auditors’ decisions. The Korean External Audit Act requires firms to switch from incumbent to new auditors designated by the Securities and Futures Commission after the firm announces a future IPO. This study shows the effects of audit risks by examining if the quality of reported earnings and audit fees significantly differs between IPO‐eligible and IPO‐ineligible firms. Empirical tests first show that discretionary accruals are significantly lower for IPO‐ineligible firms than for IPO‐eligible firms in both the IPO designation period and the following review period. We interpret this result to mean that designated auditors evaluate the IPO‐ineligible (and eventually failed) firms’ listing possibility as low. Second, audit fees are higher for IPO‐ineligible firms in the auditor designation period. This reflects the fact that designated auditors are exposed to future audit risks associated with firms’ post‐IPO financial market troubles if IPO‐ineligible firms attempt to go public. Our study contributes to IPO‐related research by showing the effects of auditors’ risk evaluation on discretionary accruals and audit fees. This study also contributes to accounting policymaking regarding auditor independence.  相似文献

Corporate hiring of former audit personnel to fill key financial positions is a practice that has attracted attention from the media, the accounting profession, and regulators. The concern is that the former external auditor who now holds a key position with the client may be able to circumvent the audit or exert pressure on the audit team and adversely influence audit quality. We compare a sample of 172 test companies that appointed to the position of chief financial officer (CFO) personnel who are former employees of the companies' auditors, with a control sample of companies that appointed new CFOs who were not affiliated with their auditors. We investigate whether the level of discretionary accruals is greater for the test sample compared with the control sample during the two years following appointment of the CFO. Both univariate and multivariate results for signed discretionary accruals suggest some support for the hypothesis that firms with affiliated CFOs are associated with greater earnings management than firms with unaffiliated CFOs. Furthermore, the results for signed discretionary accruals suggest that the association is stronger for nonpartners who moved from the audit firm to the client with little or no time gap. On average, the results for absolute discretionary accruals do not suggest differences in earnings management between affiliated and unaffiliated CFOs. However, they do indicate some earnings management relative to unaffiliated CFOs by CFOs who had little or no time gap between leaving the audit firm and joining the client firm, although at a weaker level of significance.  相似文献

审计市场结构与审计质量:来自中国证券市场的经验证据   总被引:12,自引:1,他引:11  
本文以我国证券市场2004年~2005年的上市公司为研究样本,使用调整后的KS模型估计出的公司操纵性应计利润的绝对值作为审计质量的衡量指标,考察了审计市场结构和审计质量的关系。研究发现在控制了影响审计质量的相关变量之后,市场结构与审计质量存在以下关系:审计市场集中度与审计质量成正相关关系;市场的进入退出壁垒越高,审计质量越高;但审计师的行业专长不但没有提高审计质量,反而在一定程度上降低了审计质量;审计市场的强地域性与审计质量也没有明显的相关关系。  相似文献
