Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After several major financial scandals, mandatory auditor rotation was raised as a measure to improve the auditor independence. For regulators who are to set mandatory rotation limit need detailed information about the turning points of the inverted U-shaped relationship between audit quality and auditor tenure, such as the statistical implication of a representative turning point of audit quality obtained by OLS estimation based on quadratic model or even the entire distribution of the sample firm-auditors' turning points. These two problems remain unsolved. This paper derived the statistical implication of the representative turning point of audit quality obtained by OLS estimation based on quadratic model. This paper also proposed an estimation method based on survival analysis to estimate the entire distribution curve for the turning points of all the sample firm-auditors in the form of their cumulative probability curve. Mote Carlo simulation was used to the performance of various estimation methods, such as accuracy, robustness, and information usefulness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arising from the author’s experience as a practicing CPA, this book is quite different from other research in this field, as it confronts the subject of audit quality from a pragmatic perspective. The first goal of Jonas Tritschler is to develop an audit quality metric on national audit firm level. Financial reporting errors, as detected by the German enforcement institutions during examinations, which subsequently are published in the German Federal Gazette by the involved companies, are the data basis for this measurement. Using the developed audit quality metric, the second goal of this study is to analyze audit quality differences of selected audit firms by comparing their deployed audit input factors such as employee’s competence (ratio of certified professionals to total audit staff), experience of employees (average tenure of employees in years) and client-specific experience (client fluctuation rate). Results indicate a correlation between audit quality according to the developed metric and the operationalized audit input factors mentioned above.

Download or read book Does Auditor Tenure Improve Audit Quality? Moderating Effects of Industry Specialization and Fee Dependence written by Chee Yeow Lim and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate whether the relation between auditor tenure and audit quality is conditional on auditor specialization and fee dependence. Although prior studies have investigated the relation between extended auditor-client tenure and audit quality, none has examined how this relation is jointly influenced by both auditor specialization and fee dependence. Our main analyses, using accrual quality as a measure of audit quality, show that firms audited by specialists (vs. non-specialists) have relatively higher audit quality with extended auditor tenure, and that this relation is negatively moderated by auditors' fee dependence on clients. These results are robust to sensitivity tests, and alternative proxies for audit quality such as the issuance of going concern opinions and the market's response to quarterly earnings surprises.

Download or read book Selection Bias in Audit Firm Tenure Research written by Ce Wen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior studies find that long auditor tenure improves audit quality. An alternative explanation, however, is that low audit quality increases auditor turnover, thereby self-selecting into the short-tenure group. To disentangle these explanations, this paper examines selection bias in audit firm tenure research in three steps. First, we empirically demonstrate the existence of self-selection. We find that the length (or duration) of the auditor-client relationship is not random: firms that have higher audit quality, higher profitability, and lower risk are more likely to have long relationships with their auditors. Second, we use simulated panel data to illustrate that, when self-selection exists, results consistent with long tenure improving audit quality may be obtained, even if lengthened tenure has no impact or even an adverse impact on audit quality. We show that incorporating fixed effects is critical to address the selection bias. Third, we examine commonly used audit-quality proxies and find that, after controlling for selection bias, there is little evidence that auditor tenure affects audit quality or perceived audit quality. Our results suggest that the previously documented positive association between auditor tenure and audit quality reflects selection bias, instead of a treatment effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the timeliness of misstatement discovery as a proxy for audit quality, we examine the association between audit firm tenure and audit quality in a setting that alleviates the endogeneity problem endemic to this line of research. We find that longer audit firm tenure leads to less timely discovery and correction of misstatements, which is consistent with a negative effect of long auditor tenure on audit quality. In addition, using the non-voluntary auditor change following the demise of Arthur Andersen in 2002 as a natural experiment, we show that the misstatements of its former clients were discovered faster than those of comparable companies that retained their auditors throughout the misstatement. This finding speaks to the benefit of a fresh look by a new auditor. An extended analysis shows that longer auditor tenure also leads to misstatements of greater magnitudes, and that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has mitigated, but not eliminated, the negative effect of long auditor tenure. Lastly, we show that the negative association between auditor tenure and timely discovery of misstatements is mainly present in the first ten years of an audit engagement. Our study has implications for regulators who continue to express concern regarding lengthy auditor-client engagement.

Download or read book Audit Firm Tenure and Audit Quality written by Li Zheng Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We propose that audit quality is likely to increase in the earlier years due to a Learning Effect and in later years it decreases due to a Bonding Effect. Adopting a quadratic model, we find that the average turning point is between 12 to 16 years for a large sample of U.S. firms. With an average tenure of 9 years in our sample, these findings imply that mandatory auditor firm rotation may not be necessary. Further, we find that the turning point varies by auditor - it is longer for non-Big N auditors, non-specialist auditors, and auditors with high client importance, and the deterioration of audit quality exists in low litigation industries only, consistent with the Bonding Effect explanation. Moreover, we find the turning point gets longer in the post-SOX period. Our results have implications for the current debate on mandatory audit firm rotation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: it is observed that most firms in Jordan retain the audit firm for long period of time, this long auditor-client relationship can have adverse effect on perceived audit quality; as long-term relationships between companies and their auditors create a level of closeness that impairs auditor independence and reduces audit quality, this close relationship may create a conflict of interest for the auditor and can adversely affect the auditing process (opinion/integrity); The auditor could identify closely with management's perspective and not exhibit sufficient professional skepticism. In addition, management can take advantage of the auditor's conflict by making a personal appeal for compassion and support. This leads us to the following question: Does long audit firm tenure affect perceived audit quality? This study will investigate whether audit firm tenure affect perceived audit quality by examining the relation between audit firm tenure and the client -specific equity risk premium -that is, the excess of client specific cost of equity capital over the risk free interest rate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although investor perceptions of audit quality play a critical role in maintaining systemic confidence in the integrity of financial accounting reports (Levitt 2000), prior research on the effects of auditor tenure from an investor perspective is relatively sparse. In this study, we investigate whether investors price audit firm tenure for Big Five audits by examining the relation between tenure and the ex ante equity risk premium, i.e., the excess of the company-specific ex ante cost of equity capital over the risk-free interest rate. Based on prior research, whereas the quot;auditor learningquot; argument predicts that audit quality will change in only one direction (i.e., improve) with tenure, the quot;auditor-client closenessquot; argument suggests that audit quality may decrease beyond some (albeit unspecified) length of tenure due to impaired auditor independence and objectivity. Consistent with prior theoretical arguments, we find some evidence of a non-linear relation between audit firm tenure and the ex ante equity risk premium, i.e., we find that the equity risk premium decreases in the early years of tenure but increases with additional years of tenure. These findings persist after we control for well-known risk factors and company characteristics that have been shown in prior research to be related to the cost of equity capital. The implications of our findings are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze how investors and information intermediaries perceive auditor tenure. Using earnings response coefficients from returns-earnings regressions as a proxy for investor perceptions of earnings quality, we document a positive association between investor perceptions of earnings quality and tenure. Further, we find that the influence of reported earnings on stock rankings becomes larger with extended tenure, although the association between debt ratings and reported earnings does not vary with tenure. Finally, we find that the influence of past earnings on one-year-ahead earnings forecasts becomes larger as tenure increases. In general, our results are consistent with the hypothesis that investors and information intermediaries perceive auditor tenure as improving audit quality. One implication of our study is that imposing mandatory limits on the duration of the auditor-client relationship might impose unintended costs on capital market participants.
