| 中文摘要 | 现有实证审计文献更多是从审计组织和审计师个体两个层面讨论审计在财务报告 生产中的作用。而我则引入审计师群体这一中间分析层面,考察事务所内审计师群际 互动对客户财务报告可比性的影响。基于中国 1998-2012 年发生的 47 起事务所合并事 件,我根据合并前会计师事务所的名称将合并前审计师划分为不同的审计师群,进一 步的根据合并前审计师的姓名将合并后审计师划分为相应的审计师群。研究发现,合 并前强势审计师群体的地域性越强,行业声誉越差,强势审计师群体与弱势审计师群 体间的平衡性越好,则合并后群间客户的应计盈余可比性越差。与前述结果相反,合 并前弱势审计师群体的行业声誉越差,合并后群间客户的应计盈余可比性越好。而弱 势审计师群体地域性的影响并不十分显著。这些研究结果表明,事务所内审计师群体 间的互动是决定客户财务报告质量的重要因素。 |
| 英文摘要 | Existing literature has discussed the effect of audit on financial reporting from the audit organisation and individual auditor perspectives. This paper introduces the concept of the auditor group, which is at the intermediate analysis level, and examines how inter-group interaction influences financial statement comparability. Using 47 mergers of audit firms in China from 1998 to 2012, I first divide pre-merger auditors into different auditor groups on the basis of pre-merger audit firms and then divide post-merger auditors into corresponding auditor groups on the basis of auditors’ names. I find that the financial statement comparability of two clients audited by different groups after a merger is negatively related to the locality of the strong auditor group and to the balance between the strong and weak auditor groups before the merger. Meanwhile, the reputation of the strong auditor group before the merger has a positive effect on the financial statement comparability of two clients audited by different groups after the merger. In contrast with the previous results, the reputation of the weak auditor group before the merger has a negative effect on the financial statement comparability of two clients audited by different groups after the merger. The locality effect of the weak auditor group is not significant. These findings suggest that inter-group interaction within the audit firm is an important factor in determining the quality of financial reporting. |
