An important feature of our experimental design is the addition of audit ”effectiveness” to our audit mechanism, where effectiveness is defined as the share of undeclared income that the tax agency detects in an audit. This addition allows us to examine the effects of audit effectiveness on post-audit compliance. We also study whether tax audits have differential effects on different types of taxpayers, as distinguished by their prior reporting behavior. Contrary to theoretical predictions, we find that tax audits have differential effects on post-audit compliance and that the effectiveness of audits determines these responses; that is, while effective audits increase post-audit tax compliance, ineffective audits have the opposite effect. We also find that tax audits (whether effective or not) increase subsequent compliance of noncompliant taxpayers while they reduce compliance among individuals who have been found to report their income correctly. Finally, we find no evidence that tax audits crowd out the intrinsic motivation to comply of honest individuals. Our findings suggest that the specific deterrent effect of tax audits is more ambiguous than much previous analysis suggests, with these effects dependent on the effectiveness of the audit process and on the taxpayer’s prior reporting behavior.","PeriodicalId":440695,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: Actors & Players eJournal","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121481075","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}

Increasingly, critics of American capitalism have urged that corporations, and implicitly corporate directors, act in a more socially responsible fashion and thus eschew the notion of shareholder primacy is the exclusive guide to a director’s fiduciary duty. On this view, directors must consider the effect of their actions on “stakeholders” other than shareholders and be guided by morality – do the right thing – when making business judgments. \u0000 \u0000When directors move away from shareholder primacy, however, decision-making becomes more difficult and problematic. This article analyzes the arguments that underpin a rejection of shareholder primacy, alternatives to shareholder primacy, and the utility of morality as a guide for directors making business judgments.","PeriodicalId":440695,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: Actors & Players eJournal","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132275860","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}

I document that monopolist auditors charge lower fees than do industry specialist auditors. This result is consistent with a monopolists’ pricing strategy (i.e., limit pricing) to deter new entrants but contrasts with regulators’ concerns about monopoly pricing. I further find that monopolist auditors more often fail to detect misstatements than do industry specialist auditors. This is consistent with regulators’ concerns about market-dominating auditors’ complacency. In cross-sectional tests, limit pricing is predominantly evident in homogenous operation industries where more profits are at stake. On the other hand, limit pricing is moderated when clients’ proprietary costs are high, which lowers auditor switching risk. In addition, I find that monopolist auditors’ audit failures are more pronounced when the current market competition within a city is low. These findings suggest that auditors exhibit distinctive incentives when they lack the closest competitor.","PeriodicalId":440695,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: Actors & Players eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129614555","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 find that firms with managers that have internal audit experience are associated with less overall earnings management, driven by lower real earnings management. Importantly, these firms do not trade-off reduced real earnings management with increased accruals-based earnings management. Further tests reveal that this effect is generally strongest when managers with internal audit experience currently hold financial roles or roles with higher power within the company. We also confirm that real earnings management is negatively correlated with future firm performance, as measured by Tobin’s Q and abnormal returns. Overall, these results point to a potentially important benefit of manager internal audit experience, as research suggests that real earnings management is common, difficult to detect, not always within the scope of financial reporting regulators, and detrimental to future performance.","PeriodicalId":440695,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: Actors & Players eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114433091","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}

Ram Mohan, Vishakha Raj","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3692155","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3692155","url":null,"abstract":"Gross negligence is a severe form of negligence. Its severity has been characterized using the presence of a mental element or mens rea accompanying the negligent act. Within the context of professional negligence, gross negligence is important as it constitutes professional misconduct. For auditors, a finding of professional misconduct through disciplinary proceedings can result in suspension or expulsion from the profession. The Securities and Exchange Board of India also uses this concept to determine whether an auditor has violated any securities regulations. Given the implications of a finding of gross negligence on the practice of an auditor, this paper seeks to examine the legal standard in detail. The paper examines all reported High Court decisions from 1950s till 2019 and finds that the standards applied by the High Courts have been inconsistent. In the absence of any precedent from the Supreme Court of India that details what comprises gross negligence in the context of auditors, the inconsistent approach of the High Courts poses a problem. The Supreme Court decision in the P.K. Mukherjee case (1968) dealt with an auditor’s misconduct, however, it did not examine the question of gross negligence. This paper offers a starting point for a discussion to minimize the uncertainty currently associated with auditors’ liability for professional misconduct, especially hoping to assist the newly established the National Financial Reporting Authority in its decision-making process.","PeriodicalId":440695,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Governance: Actors & Players eJournal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121191846","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}

Exploiting a mandated corporate social responsibility (CSR) regulation and using actual CSR expenditure data, the results of a quasi-natural experiment show that host firms that comply with the CSR mandate attract more FII investment. However, the heterogeneity of FIIs plays a significant role as we find that FIIs from civil law origin countries and, those considered to be independent and long-term investors invest more in mandated CSR firms.

These insolvency-related termination clauses are usually aimed at insulating solvent parties from a counterparty‘s insolvency. Although parties are bound by the terms of arm’s length contracts, the commencement of formal insolvency proceedings may invalidate unambiguous and copper-bottomed contractual rights. Insolvency-related termination clauses are no exceptions. A core objective of corporate insolvency law is to impose a mandatory collective regime for resolving insolvencies. This collective regime supplants the free-for-all individual enforcement actions against insolvents. \u0000 \u0000This two-part article explores the efficacy of insolvency-related termination clauses which are sometimes regarded as boilerplates.
