公司声誉、审计师声誉与权益资本成本——基于中国民营上市公司的经验证据

以2009~2013年中国沪深两市 A 股民营上市公司为样本,实证检验审计师声誉、公司声誉与权益资本成本的关系。研究发现：限制其他条件,审计师声誉、公司声誉分别与公司权益资本成本呈显著负相关。进一步研究发现,随着公司自身声誉的逐步建立,审计师声誉对于公司权益资本成本的影响将会逐渐减弱,公司声誉对于审计师声誉具有替代作用。     

Determinants and implications of long audit reporting lags: evidence from China

Audit reporting lag is the single most important determinant influencing the timeliness of the release of financial statements. In this study, we first explore the determinants of audit reporting lags in China where the audit market for listed firms is dominated by non-Big 4 auditors. We then examine the implications of long audit reporting lags in subsequent years. We find that selected measures of audit risk and complexity, and auditor expertise are all associated with the length of audit reporting lags in China. Firms with long audit reporting lags are more likely to have the receipt of non-standard opinions in subsequent periods. There is also evidence that firms with extremely long audit reporting lags tend to have more restatements in the subsequent year. As prior research has not specifically investigated the consequences of long audit reporting lags in subsequent years, this study makes an important contribution to the literature in this area.     

Public sector audit history in Britain and Australia

The introduction of an independent public sector audit function was a critical element in the nineteenth century constitutional reforms of parliamentary and government accountability and created an essential precedent for current practice. By examining the extent of scholarly research on public sector audit history, findings reveal considerable research examined the teleological development of public sector audit and the modern history in a New Public Management context. However, there has been very little published regarding the complex rationales around the origins, development and importance of independent public sector audit notwithstanding that without an appreciation of these precedents it becomes very difficult to protect the Westminster‐based system of democratic government.

审计委员会特征与会计师事务所变更的经验研究

本文以会计师事务所变更为视角,探讨具备怎样特征的审计委员会才能有效履行其职责。研究表明:审计委员会的独立性和专业性与会计师事务所变更显著负相关;审计委员会的开会次数与会计师事务所变更没有显著关系,说明审计委员会的存在有助于减少会计师事务所变更。但在对会计师事务所变更的进一步研究中,我们并没有发现会计师事务所变是为了追求更高审计质量的进一步证据,也说明审计委员会对会计师事务所变更的影响仍然有限。这些研究结论为完善我国审计委员会制度提供了经验证据。     

财务报表异常特征、审计师疑虑与信息使用者保护——基于我国资本市场的经验挖掘

随着资本市场的发展,审计意见越来越成为投资者、债权人和其他利益相关者进行决策的重要依据。然而资本市场上诸多虚假财务报表的出现,不禁令信息使用者对审计质量产生了怀疑。本文使用关联规则分析方法对我国资本市场上9个行业进行了研究,归纳出2003—2005年间被出具非标准审计意见的上市公司财务报表具有的业绩不实、实质与形式不符和资金去向不明等容易引发审计师初步疑虑的异常特征,同时发现具备这些异常特征但被出具了非标准审计意见的样本数仅占35%。     

非国有大股东影响国企审计师选择吗？

以1999—2016年A股国有上市公司为研究样本,检验了非国有大股东对国企审计师选择的影响,研究发现,非国有大股东降低了国企选择本地小所的概率,发挥了治理效应;非国有大股东相对力量越强,其治理效应发挥得越充分,对国企选择本地小所的抑制作用越明显;此外,非国有大股东对审计师选择的影响在地方国企和竞争性国企中体现得更加明显。进一步研究发现,非国有大股东提升了公司的审计质量。
