Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate whether mandated disclosure of engagement quality review hours provides new information that affects investors’ decision-making.

Design/methodology/approach

In 2014, Korean authorities mandated that audit engagement quality review hours must be disclosed in their audit reports. Using this unique field setting in Korea, this study presents empirical evidence of the policy initiative’s effect on earnings reliability by examining both pre- and post-implementation periods.

Findings

Following the initial disclosure of engagement quality review hours in 2014, the authors observe that the capital market’s valuation of quarterly earnings surprises, measured by earnings response coefficients (ERCs), was significantly lower for firms with high levels of abnormal engagement quality review hours than for other firms. This paper also finds that the observed association between engagement quality review hours and ERCs in the postregulation period hinges on the probability of earnings management, proxied by discretionary accruals and just meeting or beating analyst earnings forecast.

Originality/value

This paper suggests that the policy mandating disclosure of engagement quality review hours provides original information that the market considers relevant for appraising the reliability of reported earnings.

投资者对业务约定质量审查时数的回应
本研究旨在探讨强制披露业务约定质量复核时间是否提供了影响投资者决策的新信息。2014 年,韩国当局强制要求必须在审计报告中披露审计业务约定质量复核时间。研究结果在 2014 年首次披露业务约定质量复核时间后,作者观察到资本市场对季度盈利意外的估值(以盈利反应系数(ERC)衡量)显著低于其他异常业务约定质量复核时间水平高的公司。本文还发现,在监管后时期,所观察到的业务约定质量审查时数与 ERC 之间的关联取决于收益管理的概率,而收益管理的概率则由可自由支配的应计项目以及仅仅达到或超过分析师收益预测的情况来体现。
