Book excerpt: Although mandatory partner rotation has existed in the U.S. in some form since the 1970s, insufficient U.S. partner-specific data has limited researchers' ability to examine the costs and benefits of mandatory U.S. partner rotation in the current audit environment. Using proprietary data from a large international audit firm, I investigate the effect of mandatory lead partner rotation in the U.S. on three proxies for audit quality: audit fees, identifying and reporting a material control weakness, and providing a modified audit opinion. Controlling for client- and audit-specific characteristics, I provide evidence that mandatory rotation of the lead engagement partner increases audit quality in the year of rotation among larger audit offices only; audit quality is lower in the year of mandatory lead partner rotation in smaller offices. Further, rotation increases audit quality when the incoming lead engagement partner has the requisite industry expertise, but decreases audit quality when the lead partner lacks such expertise. Additional analyses show that mandatory concurring partner rotation has a similar, albeit weaker effect on audit quality. My results are robust to various proxies for audit quality, time periods, and model specifications. These findings provide evidence on the costs and benefits of partner rotation and informs practitioners, academics, and regulators as to the consequences of mandatory partner rotation in the U.S. The electronic version of this dissertation is accessible from http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/155494

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following major failures in corp. financial reporting, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted to protect investors through requirements intended to improve the accuracy and reliability of corp. disclosures and to restore investor confidence. The act strengthened auditor independence and improved audit quality. Mandatory audit firm rotation (setting a limit on the period of years a public accounting (PA) firm may audit a particular company's financial statements) was considered as a reform to enhance auditor independence and audit quality during the hearings that preceded the act, but it was not included in the act. This report studies the potential effects of requiring rotation of the PA firms that audit public companies registered with the SEC.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We discuss the Chi, Huang, Liao, and Xie (2009) study of the effects of mandatory audit partner rotation, and then identify areas where we see the greatest potential for future research on audit partner rotation and audit quality. First, we discuss how Chi et al. (2009) fits in the context of the extant literature, and we review challenges of examining audit partner rotation versus audit firm rotation. Second, we consider the study's research design. As Chi et al. suggest, the Taiwanese data provide an opportunity to address a research question that cannot be similarly addressed in a North American context. But the data and research design carry their own set of problems, including issues of statistical power. Third, we consider measures of audit quality. Interpreting the study as providing evidence on audit quality assumes not only that audit quality and earnings quality are the same, but also that abnormal accruals and ERCs are good measures of earnings quality, and by extension, audit quality. While such arguments are common in the archival audit literature, we believe it is time to move beyond these generic proxies. Our discussion concludes with suggestions for future research.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using discretionary accruals as a proxy for audit quality, this paper examines the association between mandatory audit firm rotation and audit quality. The study contributes to the debate on the effect of the mandatory audit firm rotation policy by bringing evidence directly from a setting where such an audit policy is in place. The results of multivariate regressions find no evidence that the adoption of such a policy improves average audit quality in the period thereafter. Other tests focus on the period where the mandatory rotation policy is already in place and examine the potential fluctuation of audit quality in the antecedent and decedent years of a mandatory rotation. The results find no significant difference of the audit quality in the last engagement year of a preceding auditor or in the first engagement year of an incoming auditor. Together with empirical findings in a few other markets where similar audit policies is or was in place, the results of the study argues against the necessity of introducing a mandatory audit firm rotation policy, The study provide implications of relevance for regulators who are considering taking similar measures to improve audit quality.

This book was released on 2021-11-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Audit Regulations, Audit Market Structure, and Financial Reporting Quality provides a structured overview of the empirical and analytical literature on the effects of audit market regulations. After a short introduction, the monograph is organized as follows. Chapter II addresses the structure of the audit markets of industrialized countries. First presenting an overview of the concentration metrics used to describe the structure of an audit market or a market segment, then providing the empirical findings on audit market concentration at the national level and presenting an overview of the main reasons that led to the currently high degree of concentration. Chapter III summarizes the reasons why regulators worldwide consider a high degree of concentration to be a concern. In particular, it reviews the regulator's assumption that a high degree of concentration inevitably leads to a low degree of competition and to the corresponding effects of low audit quality and high audit fees. It also provides an overview of the empirical findings on the association between concentration and audit quality and fees, respectively. Chapter IV introduces the mandatory audit firm rotation, the prohibition on the joint supply of audit and non-audit services, and joint audits as examples for regulations that are likely to have both incentive and market structure effects. Chapter V summarizes the empirical findings on the effects of these regulations on audit quality and market structure. Chapter VI summarizes models that regard the market structure as given. The results from these models show that the effects of regulations are not straightforward, but depend on various factors related to the auditor, the client, and the legal environment. Chapter VII gives an overview of analytical research that simultaneously considers incentive effects and market structure effects. It also provides a brief overview of industrial organization models that seem suitable to expand the models applied to investigate the effects of audit regulations. Chapter VIII concludes and highlights avenues for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the effectiveness of mandatory audit-partner rotation in promoting audit quality and perceptions of audit quality using audit data from Taiwan, where a five-year audit-partner rotation became de facto mandatory in 2004. We identify a sample of companies in 2004 whose audit partners were subject to mandatory rotation and compare this mandatory rotation sample with three benchmark samples: (1) companies in 2004 whose audit partners were not subject to mandatory rotation, (2) companies in the mandatory rotation sample one year ago in 2003, and (3) companies in years before 2003 whose audit partners were voluntarily rotated. Using both absolute and signed abnormal accruals as proxies for audit quality, we find no evidence that mandatory audit-partner rotation enhances audit quality. In addition, we use the earnings response coefficient as a proxy for investor perceptions of audit quality and find no consistent evidence that mandatory audit-partner rotation enhances perceived audit quality. Taken together, our findings are inconsistent with the belief that mandatory audit-partner rotation enhances audit quality or perceptions of audit quality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the effect a regime of mandatory audit firm rotation would have on audit quality in an Australian setting. Using two measures of audit quality, being the propensity to issue a going-concern report and the level of discretionary accruals, the study examines the switching patterns of clients in their current voluntary switching capacity, and the levels of audit quality. We find that audit quality increases with audit firm tenure, when proxied by the propensity to issue a going concern opinion, and is unaffected when proxied by the level of discretionary accruals. We conclude that given the additional costs associated with switching auditors there are minimal, if any, benefits of mandatory audit firm rotation. Other initiatives to address concerns about auditor independence and audit quality therefore need be considered before imposing mandatory audit firm rotation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides the first partner tenure and rotation analysis for a large cross-section of U.S. publicly listed firms over an extended period. We analyze the effects on audit quality as well as economic tradeoffs related to partner tenure and rotation with respect to audit hours and fees. On average, we find no evidence for audit quality declines over the tenure cycle and little support for fresh-look benefits after rotations. Nevertheless, partner rotations have significant economic consequences. We find increases in audit fees and decreases in audit hours over the tenure cycle, which differ by partner experience, client size, and competitiveness of the local audit market. More generally, our findings are consistent with efforts by the audit firms to minimize disruptions and audit failures around mandatory rotations. We also analyze special circumstances, such as audit firm switches and early partner rotations, and show that they are more disruptive than mandatory rotations, and also more likely to exhibit audit quality effects.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India, the government introduced mandatory audit firm rotation following calls to improve audit quality and auditor independence in the wake of the Satyam accounting scandal. The absence of strong institutional mechanisms to prevent and detect audit failure in a timely manner has led the government to require periodical audit firm rotation. Evidence from firms for the years 2014 to 2017 suggests that mandatory audit firm rotation does not appear to have improved audit quality, reduced audit costs and increased audit market competition.

Book excerpt: I examine the joint effects of two current audit regulations, mandatory partner rotation and PCAOB inspections, on audit quality. In doing so, I respond to Congress's call for research about the effects of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act's reforms on audit quality. In an experiment using experienced professional auditors, auditors decrease effort in the year prior to mandatory partner rotation and increase effort when there is a high risk of PCAOB inspection. When auditors anticipate both mandatory partner rotation and a high risk of PCAOB inspection, the effect of PCAOB inspection risk mitigates the decrease in effort from mandatory partner rotation, such that the net change in effort is not statistically different from zero. Additionally, partner rotation causes partners to reduce time spent on activities likely to enhance audit quality in favor of documentation. I find no evidence that partner rotation or PCAOB inspections affect auditors' independence, as measured by the magnitude of proposed audit adjustments. Regulators can consider whether required PCAOB inspections may perform the same external review function as the "fresh eyes" of mandatory firm rotation as they debate additional reforms.

Book excerpt: This study investigates whether mandatory auditor rotation rules are associated with changes in audit quality using available data from three countries that have adopted mandatory auditor rotation (MAR) rules. Consistent with prior literature, I assume that earnings management measures capture the various methods employed by corporate insiders to exercise their discretion to manage earnings that is not constrained by the audit firm. The more discretion, ceteris paribus, in earnings, the lower the audit quality. First, I investigate the debonding effect of an MAR policy. Debonding describes the effect that is often the primary motivation for adopting MAR rules. That is, end the possibility of long-term audit engagements and the economic bond of audit firms to their clients will be broken (by enhancing auditor independence and objectivity). In the sample after adoption of MAR rules, the data show evidence of less earnings management, less managing to earnings targets, and more timely loss recognition compared to the sample before adopting MAR rules. From these results, I conclude that audit markets appear to improve, on average, from enactment of MAR rules. I then investigate the allowed discretion in the year before and the year after auditor changes in which rotation rules have been adopted (termed the low client-specific knowledge effect). I find evidence of lower audit quality in both years. These results highlight the importance, particularly to regulators of audit markets, of considering ways to mitigate the erosion of audit quality when making the transition to new auditors under MAR rules (e.g., the use of detailed handover files between predecessor and successor audit firms or "four-eyes principle" in years of initial audits).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unique setting in which mandatory audit firm rotation was required from 2006-2010, and in which both audit fees and audit hours were disclosed (South Korea), this study provides empirical evidence of the economic impact of this policy initiative on audit quality, and the associated implications for audit fees. This study compares both pre- and post-policy implementation and, after the implementation of the policy, mandatory long-tenure versus voluntary short-tenure rotation situations. Where audit firms were mandatorily rotated post-policy, we observe that audit quality (measured as abnormal discretionary accruals) did not significantly change compared with pre-2006 long-tenure audit situations and voluntary post-rotation situations. Audit fees in the post-regulation period for mandatorily rotated engagements are significantly larger than in the pre-regulation period, but are discounted compared to audit fees for post-regulation continuing engagements. We also find that the observed increase in audit fees and audit hours in the post-regulation period extends beyond situations where the audit firm was mandatorily rotated, suggesting that the introduction of mandatory audit firm rotation had a much broader impact than the specific instances of mandatory rotation.
