How and why auditors’ social exchange relationships influence their attitudes and behaviors: Implications for audit quality

External auditors regularly interact with various parties at work, such as their accounting firms, engagement team members, and clients. These interactions can help shape the nature of auditors’ social exchange relationships with these entities, which in turn may influence their behavior toward these targets. This installment of Accounting Matters draws from recently published research by Herda and colleagues to (1) explain how constructive auditor-target connections can develop and lead to beneficial outcomes like reduced auditor burnout and turnover intentions, as well as more citizenship behavior, and (2) discuss how these upshots might ultimately affect audit quality. This topic is important because audit quality translates into improved financial reporting, which helps stakeholders who rely on audited financial statements to make informed business decisions. Specifically, we underscore the key role auditors’ perceptions of fair treatment from a relationship partner play in fostering a strong psychological bond with the target via perceived support. We further consider how auditors’ consequent commitment to the target can result in favorable organizational outcomes, including enhanced audit and financial reporting quality. We also discuss practical implications for accounting firms.     

中国对RCEP国家的直接投资与出口技术复杂度

RCEP的签订为中国对外开放带来新契机。双循环新发展格局背景下,如何调整中国对RCEP国家的贸易和投资策略成为值得研究的议题。使用2004—2018年中国对RCEP国家的直接投资和出口数据,构建出口技术复杂度指标,实证分析直接投资和出口技术复杂度的关系。结果发现:中国对RCEP国家的直接投资能够提升中国对东道国的出口产品技术水平,当东道国为中低收入国家时,这一作用更为显著。基于此,中国应优化对RCEP国家直接投资的布局和结构,完善中资企业海外投资和经营规制,扩大与RCEP国家在新基建领域的合作,实现对外直接投资与出口高质量发展。
