This study examines the effect of auditor sanctions imposed on the riskiness of auditors' client portfolios. We identify auditors/audit firms that were subject to disciplinary actions by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and empirically examine the change in the riskiness of their client portfolios after the sanctions were imposed. The empirical results suggest a decrease in the overall clientele financial risk, measured by both aggregate bankruptcy measures and individual financial risk measures, after enforcement releases were issued. Moreover, we find that the decrease in client portfolios' risk is greater when a disciplinary action is imposed in the period of higher legal liability than when it is imposed in the period of lower legal liability. This study contributes to prior studies on the effects of audit failure on auditors' behaviour by examining the association between auditor sanctions and the management of audit client portfolios risk.
本研究考察了审计师制裁对审计师客户投资组合风险的影响。我们确定了受到中国证监会纪律处分的审计师/审计事务所,并实证研究了制裁实施后其客户投资组合风险的变化。实证结果表明,在发布强制执行令后,通过总破产指标和个人金融风险指标衡量的总体客户金融风险有所下降。此外,我们发现,在法律责任较高的时期实施纪律处分时,客户投资组合风险的下降幅度大于在法律责任较低的时期实施的风险。本研究通过考察审计师制裁与审计客户组合风险管理之间的关系,为先前关于审计失败对审计师行为影响的研究做出了贡献。

This study investigates firm characteristics that may affect the IAF's quality characteristics: size, independence, methodology, and competence. Its motivation is that a firm's agency and economic costs can affect its way to invest in the IAF quality. In this study, a postal questionnaire survey was sent to the head of internal audit (HIA) in 213 UK non-financial companies with in-source IAF, and archival data were collected from the respondent companies' annual reports. The study found that a firm's size and the proportion of cash flows from its operations are positively associated with the IAF's quality characteristics, a suggestion that a high quality IAF is an important way of compensating for the direct loss of control and of managing internal agency risks. In addition, it found evidence that having a high quality IAF is a costly process; the level of debt had a significant negative association with the IAF's quality characteristics. Furthermore, the supporting OLS regression revealed a positive significant association between the effectiveness of the audit committee and the quality characteristics of the IAF. This study has important implications for both practice and future internal auditing research and provides a composite measure that can be used to assess IAF quality.
本研究调查了可能影响IAF质量特征的企业特征:规模、独立性、方法论和能力。其动机是,一家公司的代理和经济成本会影响其投资IAF质量的方式。在这项研究中,向213家拥有内部审计框架的英国非金融公司的内部审计负责人(HIA)发送了一份邮寄问卷调查,并从被调查公司的年度报告中收集了档案数据。研究发现,一家公司的规模和经营现金流的比例与IAF的质量特征呈正相关,这表明高质量的IAF是弥补直接控制损失和管理内部机构风险的重要方式。此外,它发现有证据表明,拥有高质量的IAF是一个成本高昂的过程;债务水平与IAF的质量特征有显著的负相关。此外,支持OLS回归显示,审计委员会的有效性与IAF的质量特征之间存在显著的正相关。这项研究对实践和未来的内部审计研究都有重要意义,并提供了一种可用于评估内部审计框架质量的综合衡量标准。

This study examines whether partner special competencies, such as industry expertise, public company expertise and client-specific expertise, are associated with a fee premium. It further investigates whether the association between partner competencies and audit fees is dependent on gender. Using a sample of 225 public Swedish companies audited from 2006-2015 (1461 firm-years) by 182 (33 females and 149 males) partners affiliated to Big 4 audit firms, partner industry expertise and client-specific expertise are found to be associated with higher audit fees. A further finding is that partners with special competencies are predominantly men. However, male public company specialists receive significantly lower audit fees than their female counterparts. Taken together, the results indicate that partner special competence is valued by clients.
这项研究考察了合作伙伴的特殊能力,如行业专业知识、上市公司专业知识和客户特定专业知识,是否与费用溢价有关。它进一步调查了合作伙伴能力与审计费用之间的联系是否取决于性别。使用2006-2015年(1461个事务所年)由隶属于四大审计事务所的182名合伙人(33名女性和149名男性)审计的225家瑞典上市公司的样本,发现合伙人行业专业知识和客户特定专业知识与更高的审计费有关。另一项发现是,具有特殊能力的伴侣主要是男性。然而,男性上市公司专家的审计费用明显低于女性同行。结果表明,合作伙伴的特殊能力受到客户的重视。

This study examines the effects of voluntary audits on the quality of financial information and the cost of debt in small privately held companies using a sample of 5,254 observations spanning 2007-2012. Prior studies [see Blackwell et al. (1998), Minnis (2011) and Kim et al. (2011)] suggest that audited firms have a significantly lower cost of debt. In contrast to prior studies, our archival evidence shows that firms opting for a voluntary audit pay a slightly higher interest rate on their debt than do the unaudited firms among the set examined. This result is however supported by Niemi et al. (2012) who found that having a voluntary audit is positively associated with financial distress and by Dedman et al. (2014) who found that riskier companies are more likely to purchase voluntary audits.
本研究考察了自愿审计对小型私营公司财务信息质量和债务成本的影响,使用了2007-2012年间5254个观察样本。先前的研究[参见Blackwell等人(1998)、Minnis(2011)和Kim等人(2011)]表明,审计公司的债务成本明显较低。与之前的研究相反,我们的档案证据表明,选择自愿审计的公司比未审计的公司支付的债务利率略高。然而,这一结果得到了Niemi等人(2012)的支持,他们发现自愿审计与财务困境呈正相关,而Dedman等人(2014)发现风险较高的公司更有可能购买自愿审计。

The study investigates the value relevance of earnings and book value on the Bombay Stock Exchange over 21 years of accounting regulation reforms in India from 1995 to 2015. In developed markets accounting information has lost its relevance due to shift in economies from tangible to intangible intensity. However, the relevance of accounting information in an emerging market increases with the improvements in accounting regulation and market environment. Thus, we also examined the effects of both accounting regulation reforms and intangible intensity on the relevance of earnings and book value in an emerging market. Results indicate that the relevance of the combined and incremental value of both earnings and book value is increased with the improvements in accounting regulation reforms in India. Furthermore, the intangible intensity is positively (negatively) significant to explain the change in the incremental explanatory power of earnings (book value).
该研究调查了1995年至2015年印度会计监管改革21年来孟买证券交易所收益和账面价值的价值相关性。在发达市场,由于经济从有形强度转向无形强度,会计信息已经失去了相关性。然而,会计信息在新兴市场中的相关性随着会计监管和市场环境的改善而增加。因此,我们还研究了会计监管改革和无形强度对新兴市场收益和账面价值相关性的影响。结果表明,随着印度会计监管改革的改善,收益和账面价值的组合值和增量值的相关性增加。此外,无形强度对解释收益(账面价值)增量解释力的变化具有正(负)意义。

A string of accounting-related scandals has revealed key shortcomings in internal auditor truthfulness. These scandals have led researchers, professional organisations and institutions to question causes of internal auditor silence and the failure of ethical guidelines. This study responds to these questions by revealing moral courage as the missing ingredient in internal auditor ethical instruction and as the tool needed for internal auditors to preserve their integrity and overcome their fears. Building on what is currently known of internal auditors and moral courage, this study sheds light on professional and ethical requirements placed on internal auditors to tell the truth, and it emphasises the role of moral courage in guiding their ethical behaviours. It also considers what must be known about the development of moral courage among internal auditors and seeks to identify the factors that promote internal auditors' moral courage through 30 structured interviews with chief audit executives.
一系列与会计有关的丑闻暴露了内部审计师真实性方面的主要缺陷。这些丑闻导致研究人员、专业组织和机构质疑内部审计师沉默和道德准则失败的原因。本研究回应了这些问题,揭示了道德勇气是内部审计师道德指导中缺失的成分,也是内部审计师保持诚信和克服恐惧所需的工具。本研究以目前已知的内部审计师和道德勇气为基础,阐明了对内部审计师讲真话的职业和道德要求,并强调了道德勇气在指导其道德行为中的作用。它还考虑了必须了解的内部审计师道德勇气的发展情况,并试图通过对首席审计官的30次结构化访谈来确定促进内部审计员道德勇气的因素。

In this study, we explore audit pricing decisions in the presence of excess audit committee compensation. Specifically, we examine whether excess compensation of audit committee members is related to audit fees. We find that excess compensation is positively associated with audit fees. We further examine whether the excess compensation affects auditors' pricing of earnings manipulation, and find evidence suggesting that auditors perceive earnings manipulation risk relatively low when the audit committee members are paid excess compensation. Overall, our results support the notion that audit committee excess compensation represents greater monitoring over a firm's financial reporting process, which affects auditor's risk assessment.
在本研究中,我们探讨了存在超额审计委员会薪酬的审计定价决策。具体而言,我们考察了审计委员会成员的超额薪酬是否与审计费用有关。我们发现超额薪酬与审计费用呈正相关。我们进一步研究了超额薪酬是否影响审计师对盈余操纵的定价,并发现证据表明,当审计委员会成员获得超额薪酬时,审计师对盈余操纵风险的感知相对较低。总体而言,我们的研究结果支持这样的观点,即审计委员会的超额薪酬代表着对公司财务报告流程的更大监控,这影响了审计师的风险评估。

Impact of IFRS adoption on reporting of firm efficiency: case of Indian IT firms 采用《国际财务报告准则》对公司效率报告的影响:以印度信息技术公司为例

This study examines the impact of the transition from generally accepted accounting principles of Indian jurisdiction (IGAAP) to international financial reporting standards (IFRS) on IT firms' reported performance efficiencies that are measured through different types of efficiencies of firms with the application of window analysis based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). We find that IT firms, in general, are found to operate on increasing returns to scale (IRS) indicating thereby cost diaspora in their advantage while raising the scale of production. Our statistical analysis also provides enough evidence that relative gross, technical and scale efficiencies of the firms remain relatively unchanged with a switching of accounting standards from IGAAP to IFRS. The semblance of impact on the reported relative performance efficiencies of the competing firms indicates the resemblances of accounting procedures that are being used under both standards in measuring the accounting amounts.
本研究考察了从印度司法管辖区的公认会计原则(IGAAP)向国际财务报告准则(IFRS)过渡对IT公司报告的绩效效率的影响,这些绩效效率是通过应用基于数据包络分析(DEA)的窗口分析的不同类型的公司效率来衡量的。我们发现,一般来说,IT公司都是在规模收益递增(IRS)的基础上运作的,这表明在提高生产规模的同时,它们的优势是成本分散。我们的统计分析也提供了足够的证据,表明会计准则从IGAAP转换为IFRS后,公司的相对总效率、技术效率和规模效率保持相对不变。对竞争公司报告的相对绩效效率的影响的相似性表明,在两个标准下,在计量会计金额时所使用的会计程序是相似的。

This study provides a comprehensive literature review of audit quality and it explores three decades of audit research (1980 to 2010). The DeFond and Zhang (2014) framework is used to present and discuss several perspectives on the concept and measures of audit quality, its inherent limitations and main strengths, adding US versus international studies comparative approach. The study is of interest to students, academic researchers, practitioners, standard setters/regulators and all those interested in understanding audit quality, from a US versus international perspective.
本研究提供了审计质量的全面文献综述,并探讨了三十年的审计研究(1980年至2010年)。DeFond和Zhang(2014)的框架用于提出和讨论审计质量的概念和度量、其固有局限性和主要优势的几个观点,并添加了美国与国际研究的比较方法。学生、学术研究人员、从业人员、标准制定者/监管机构以及所有有兴趣从美国与国际的角度了解审计质量的人都对这项研究感兴趣。

The Big 4 audit firms currently dominate the US audit market. We investigate whether the extent of a Big 4 local office's dependence on industry specialist clients impacts audit effort/earnings quality for the office's specialist as well as non-specialist clients. Our findings suggest that greater dependence on specialist clients is associated with higher audit effort/earnings quality for specialist clients but also with lower audit effort/earnings quality for the office's non-specialist clients. Our results hold when we propensity-match specialist and non-specialist clients to control for client characteristics as a possible confounding explanation. Our study is important, because it: 1) contributes to prior research that is largely silent on whether cross-sectional variations in reputation for industry-expertise are associated with variations in audit quality (DeFond and Zhang, 2014); 2) suggests that, it would be appropriate for PCAOB inspectors to focus on non-specialist clients at audit offices with greater dependence on specialist clients as an area representing higher risk of lower audit effort/quality.
四大审计事务所目前主导着美国审计市场。我们调查了四大会计师事务所当地办事处对行业专业客户的依赖程度是否会影响其专业客户和非专业客户的审计工作/盈余质量。我们的研究结果表明,对专业客户的更大依赖与专业客户更高的审计工作/盈余质量相关,但也与事务所非专业客户更低的审计工作/盈余质量相关。当我们倾向匹配专家和非专业客户以控制客户特征作为可能的混淆解释时,我们的结果成立。我们的研究很重要,因为它:1)有助于先前的研究,这些研究在很大程度上对行业专业知识声誉的横截面变化是否与审计质量的变化有关保持沉默(DeFond和Zhang, 2014);2)建议PCAOB检查员将重点放在对专业客户依赖程度较高的审计办公室的非专业客户上,作为审计工作/质量下降的高风险领域。
