The purpose of this paper is to shed light on this question. The main variables to explore the auction mechanisms are the price difference between the primary and secondary markets (price spread) and the coverage ratio. Subsequently, to determine patterns for clarifying which auction system is optimal, we propose a new model based on the price spread and a valuation model for financial options that covers both negative and positive spreads. We conclude that the auction method and the number of primary dealers are relevant parameters in the auction outcome. Finally, the results of the new model are the cornerstone for identifying detailed patterns followed by top-performing countries.","PeriodicalId":244340,"journal":{"name":"Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting / Revista Española de Financiación y Contabilidad","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126192110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To measure regulatory oversight on external auditors, we use comment letters issued by the Securities and Exchange Organization of Iran. We show that audit committee financial expertise increases (decreases) regulatory oversight on external auditors when audit committee independence is low (high). We further show that this interactive effect is stronger under higher regulatory reviewers’ workload compression. Collectively, our findings suggest that, first, financial expertise and independence of audit committees should be analysed together as independence moderates the benefit of financial expertise. Second, the consideration of regulatory reviewers’ workload compression is important in this analysis.","PeriodicalId":244340,"journal":{"name":"Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting / Revista Española de Financiación y Contabilidad","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116785956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The closing values of eleven cryptocurrencies have been considered. The study employs dummy variable regression techniques, ANOVA and Friedman tests for assessing two calendar anomalies, the day-of-week and month-of-year effects. To test these calendar effects, we have applied both full sample and rolling-regression techniques for two lengths of the rolling sample intervals. Furthermore, we have examined the existence of long memory in day-of-the- week and month-of-the-year cryptocurrency returns. The results provide evidence about the existence of day-of-the-week and month-of-the-year effects in cryptocurrency returns, in particular, on Thursdays and in November. In addition, it should be added that the general results of the current study show that the calendar effect in the cryptocurrency market is dynamic rather than static, which indicates that the calendar effect is a phenomenon that varies over time.","PeriodicalId":244340,"journal":{"name":"Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting / Revista Española de Financiación y Contabilidad","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124106209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although such context provides little incentives to focus on financial reporting quality, the signalling role remains important. Therefore, we argue that auditors will also increase the quality of the financial statements in this context but will primarily focus on the form quality of the statements (i.e., the extent to which the required disclosures are made) while the substance quality (i.e., the extent to which the financial statements faithfully represent the economic reality) might become a smaller concern. A new measure for form quality is developed, and two matched samples of 278 and 316 Belgian private firms respectively are used to test our hypotheses. Our results confirm that having an auditor significantly increases the form quality of the financial statements while the effect on substance quality is more ambiguous.","PeriodicalId":244340,"journal":{"name":"Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting / Revista Española de Financiación y Contabilidad","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123599218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Audit committee activity has a positive relationship with investment efficiency. The results suggest that the independence and expertise of audit committees cannot increase investment efficiency if the audit committees are less active. This positive relationship is more pronounced for firms with mandatory audit committees. Moreover, this relationship is strengthened when external governance attracts shareholders’ attention to corporate issues. The results suggest that the positive relationship between audit committee activity and investment efficiency is enhanced when the firms are under external pressures on corporate governance. The findings provide significant implications for countries that still do not have mandatory requirements for audit committees.","PeriodicalId":244340,"journal":{"name":"Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting / Revista Española de Financiación y Contabilidad","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114227989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose several fast and inexpensive heuristics to classify firms as suspect or non-suspect of maintaining the stream through earnings management and examine whether market rewards differ for suspect and non-suspect firms. We find higher P/E multiples for firms with a pattern of increasing earnings supported by the same pattern of increasing cash flows (non-suspect). This is an important result as it shows that cash flows can be used to assess the quality of earnings in scenarios prone to earnings management, where earnings quality is expected to be low. We also find lower price-earnings multiples for firms suspected of using accrual-based earnings management, sales manipulation, and overproduction to achieve the earnings pattern.","PeriodicalId":244340,"journal":{"name":"Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting / Revista Española de Financiación y Contabilidad","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126773501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
