訴訟風險、產業專家會計師事務所與審計風險關係之研究

A Study of the Relation among Litigation Risk, Industry Specialist Auditor Firms, and Audit Risk

指導教授 : 劉若蘭 王春熙

摘要


本研究旨在探討於2007年臺灣通過會計師法修正案後,產業專家會計師事務所對客戶篩選之變化,以及出具之審計意見適當性之探討;因會計師法在修訂後其條文規範、相關罰則的訂定標準將更加嚴苛,預期會計師將面臨的訴訟風險與法律責任相對會提高。實證結果發現,在會計師法修正案通過後,產業專家會計師事務所的受查公司之財務風險水準,低於修法前的受查公司之財務風險水準,顯示產業專家會計師事務所面臨法律責任加強時,愈會慎選其受查客戶;也發現在修正法案通過後,產業專家會計師事務所出具繼續經營疑慮審計意見之比例將會下降,其原因為已拒絕繼續承接高風險之客戶,故愈不會出具繼續經營疑慮審計意見,但對於規模愈大之受查公司,出具繼續經營疑慮審計意見之傾向則增加。再者,本文亦針對四大會計師事務所做額外測試,結果支持修法後四大會計師事務所愈會慎選客戶,其客戶的財務風險水準愈低,也愈不會出具繼續經營疑慮審計意見,但對於規模愈大之客戶,則愈會出具繼續經營疑慮之審計意見。
