谈和谐社会之审计文化

审计文化是在一定的社会背景下，审计主体在审计实践活动中形成的意识形态，包含多重含义。本文着重探讨和谐社会审计文化的有关问题。     

内部审计在高校基本建设中的作用

随着各高校的扩招,高校对基本建设的投入越来越大,对资金安全与效益的监管和要求也不断提高,特别是近几年日益严重的高校腐败多发生在基本建设中,造成国有资金损失。因此,就如何加强内审部门对高校基本建设的监督作了详细阐述。     

企业金融化、内部控制与审计定价

以2007-2018年我国A股非金融类上市公司为研究对象,探讨并实证检验企业金融化、内部控制与审计定价之间的关系.研究表明:企业金融化与审计定价正相关,内部控制在企业金融化与审计定价之间的正相关关系中发挥负向的调节作用;企业金融化主要是通过影响审计业务复杂度进而影响审计定价;企业金融化对审计定价的正向影响在企业规模越大、受融资约束越高、内部控制缺陷越严重的企业更显著.     

审计报告改革对权益资本成本的影响研究

传统审计报告的模式化披露无法满足投资者价值信息获取需求,“审计期望差距”问题日益严重。基于2016年12月颁布的新审计报告准则,选取A+H股上市公司为研究对象,考察审计报告改革对上市公司权益资本成本的影响。结果表明,审计报告改革会显著降低权益资本成本。进一步发现,关键审计事项披露数目越多,权益资本成本越低;审计报告改革降低权益资本成本的效应在信息不对称程度高、内部控制水平低、媒体环境差以及代理冲突高的公司中更为明显。这不仅为审计报告改革的经济后果提供了证据,而且对于提高投资者决策效率以及维护资本市场秩序也具有一定的现实意义。     

利益相关者视角下的公允价值审计研究

正是因为公允价值计量在会计处理中的大量运用,审计工作者在审计工作中,也需要在执行了必要的审计程序、获取充分适当的审计证据基础之上,对资产、负债、权益项目进行公允价值审计,核查其计量、披露是否符合会计准则及相关制度。文章从利益相关者的角度出发,通过了解国家相关政策、市场条件,借鉴国外公允价值计量、审计的相关经验,希望对公允价值计量提出合理的见解及可操作性建议。     

新审计报告与资本市场的信息反应——来自股价同步性和股价预测能力双维度的经验证据

新审计报告准则的施行旨在增加审计报告的信息含量及其决策相关性。以2015—2018年沪深非金融上市公司为样本,研究发现新审计报告施行后,上市公司的股价同步性显著下降,公司特质信息含量比例显著上升,股价特质信息效率显著提升,同时新审计报告的施行产生了增量信息。在此基础上,进一步分析新审计报告准则对资本市场特质信息效率的传导机制,发现投资者关注度对新审计报告(关键审计事项的披露数量)影响资本市场特质信息效率的过程中表现出显著的部分中介效应。分样本检验的结果表明,虽然AH股共同上市公司和非AH股共同上市公司之间的结果存在细微差异但整体趋势相似。通过对新审计报告的影响的分析,可以更好地理解该政策对资本市场的影响。     

The Determinants and Effects of Clients Following Audit Partners Who Switch Audit Firms

Abstract

We examine the determinants of clients’ decision to follow departing partners to new audit firms and the effect of this decision on the likelihood of financial restatements. Using Taiwanese audit partner turnover data from 1984 to 2010, we find that clients are more likely to follow departing partners when the partners have more clients, longer tenure, and when both lead and concurring partners leave simultaneously. By contrast, clients are more likely to stay with their incumbent audit firms when the firms are one of the Big Four or when only the concurring partners leave. The extended partner tenure due to clients following departing partners, however, does not enhance audit quality. In fact, clients that stay at the incumbent firm experience a significant decrease in the probability of financial restatements in the first year after the audit partners leave, but clients that follow do not.     

Analysts' Cash Flow Forecasts,Audit Effort,and Audit Opinions on Internal Control

We examine the economic impact of analysts’ cash flow forecasts by looking at how external auditors respond to financial analysts’ issuance of cash flow forecasts. Using a differences‐in‐differences approach, we find that financial analysts’ initiation of cash flow forecasts leads to reduced auditor fees and audit report lags. Moreover, after cash flow forecast initiation, firms report fewer Section 404(b) internal control weakness disclosures. These findings suggest that cash flow forecasts constrain earnings manipulation and improve management accounting behavior, thereby reducing inherent and control risk and strengthening firms’ internal control over financial reporting.     

领导干部离任环保审计探析

改革开放以来,我国经济济总量和人均GDP实现了质的飞跃.在看到可喜成绩的同时,也应看到不少地区的领导干部存在以环境污染、资源浪费和唯GDP是从的政绩观.在环境保护问题日益突出和领导干部离任审计广泛开展的今天,应与时俱进地推行领导干部离任环保审计,从审计主体、审计原则、审计要素、审计证据和审计信息披露机制等着手,通过领导干部离任环保审计制度的创新来遏制领导干部的短期行为.     

Financing the sustainable management of Rwanda's protected areas

Rwanda's Nyungwe National Park is a biodiversity hotspot with the most endemic species in the ecoregion and the highest number of threatened species internationally. Nyungwe supplies critical ecosystem services to the Rwandan population including water provisioning and tourism services. Tourism in the Park has strong potential for financing enhanced visitor experiences and the sustainable management of the Park. This paper explores quantitatively the economic impacts of adjustment in Park visitation fees and tourism demand as a source of revenues to improve Park tourism opportunities and ongoing operations and maintenance. The methods developed in this paper are novel in integrating the results of stated preference techniques with a regional computable general equilibrium modelling approach to capture multisectoral, direct, indirect and induced impacts. Such methods have strong potential for assessing revenue generation alternatives in other contexts where park managers are faced with the need to generate additional revenue for sustainable park management while facing diminishing budget allocations. Results of this analysis demonstrate that adjustment of Park fees has a relatively small impact on the regional economy and well-being when compared with a strategy aimed at generating increased tourism demand through investment in improving the visitor experience at Nyungwe National Park.
