審計失敗的傳染效果與財務報導品質之關聯性

The Association between the Contagion Effect of Low-Quality Audits and the Financial Reporting Quality

指導教授 : 蘇淑慧

摘要


本篇研究探討分所層級及會計師層級之審計失敗是否具有傳染效果,亦即會計師事務所分所發生審計失敗,是否影響該分所之其他審計案件,以及會計師個人之審計失敗,是否影響該會計師所執行之其他審計案件。實證結果顯示,當會計師事務所分所發生審計失敗時,同樣由該會計師事務所分所查核的公司也具有較低之財務報導盈餘品質,與過去文獻相同,支持分所層級之審計失敗具有傳染效果。然而,本研究並未發現會計師個人層級之審計失敗存在傳染效果,隠含會計師的審計工作受到相關法令的制約。由於我國的金融監管機關規定上市櫃公司需由兩位會計師查核簽證,本研究敏感性分析另探討當僅有一人發生審計失敗或者兩位會計師皆發生審計失敗時是否導致財務報導的盈餘品質不佳而形成傳染效果,與主要研究結果相同,並未發現會計師層級之審計失敗具有傳染效果。

並列摘要


This paper investigates whether the contagion effect of low quality audits exists at the office level and at the individual level by examining the association between the audit failures of auditing office or individual auditors and the earnings quality of others audits performed by these same offices or auditors. The empirical results show that the earnings quality is lower for the companies audited by the same offices who have performed failed audits, consisting with prior research. However, no evidence on the contagion effect of low quality audits at the individual level is found, implying that individual auditors concerned about the legal liability of audit failures. In additional analyses, this paper examines the contagion effect of low quality audits exists by only one or both two auditors. The results also show that no evidence on the contagion effect of low quality audits at the individual level.
