Using 16,351 firm-year observations across 39 countries, our main results show that firms with higher average board tenure exhibit lower cash holding. Furthermore, strong political stability mitigates the negative relationship between the average board tenure and corporate cash holdings.  Our results are robust to various specifications, including endogeneity issue, weighted least-square regression, global financial crisis effect, and alternative measures for corporate cash holding and country-level institutional factors. Overall, our results imply the need to strengthen the institutional environment, given that countries with stable politics are those with incentives for the board to function effectively.","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46620503","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 setting for this study is Russian public companies’ boards, different from that of prior research that was conducted in developed countries. I find that foreign directors’ board representation is positively associated with the probability of Russian companies’ cross-listing on London Stock Exchange’s Main Market, alone or in combination with other markets. Non-London stock exchanges that are popular among Russian companies are characterized by less rigorous listing and reporting obligations as compared to the London. Accordingly, foreign directors enhance the boards’ advisory role but only in cases in which their expertise is critical. Notably, foreign directors’ serving on the audit committee is related to lower discretionary accruals and fewer modified audit opinion instances, enhancing the board's monitoring role,","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43932308","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}

Obtaining carbon emission and carbon management data from CDP from 2010-2017, we examine whether the adverse impact of carbon emissions on firm value is alleviated by the firms’ CMS. Our findings suggest that the level of carbon emissions is negatively associated with firm value, but a firm’s higher quality CMS weakens this negative relationship. The further analyses show that, the positive moderating effect of CMS is found only in carbon intensive, large, mature, and highly profitable firms. Our results provide potentially useful implications to corporate managers and outside stakeholders who are concerned about risks associated with carbon emissions and the financial implications of a firm’s CMS.","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45157661","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 follow the typology of Miles and Snow (1978, 2003) that describes a strategy continuum with the innovative ‘prospector’ strategy and the cost-leadership ‘defender’ strategy at the two ends. Using data from China, we find that prospectors are associated with more financial reporting violations and higher audit fees than defenders. Specifically, prospectors are positively associated with the occurrence of inadvertent reporting violations. Further analysis reveals that the increase in audit fees for prospectors is not different among firms exposed to different levels of business risk (proxied by ownership structure, auditor size, and leverage). We conjecture that the associations between business strategy and financial reporting violations and audit fees in China are due to firm financial reporting risks arising from accounting complexity.","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45297995","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}

However, it is unclear whether the results from developed countries apply in developing countries because no fraud detection research has been performed in this setting. The current study examines how auditors in two developing countries, Indonesia and Ghana, apply ISA 240 for fraud detection, including how auditors identify, investigate, and resolve potential fraud issues. We find that: (1) senior managers originate most asset misappropriation frauds; (2) auditors in Indonesia and Ghana do not use information technology or internal control assessment for fraud investigation; (3) auditors modify the audit program once potential fraud is detected; and (4) auditors use a more contending than conceding negotiation strategy when resolving potential fraud issues, which often stop short of requiring audit clients to record all audit adjustments.","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46281993","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}

Utilizing the probit model, difference-in-differences approach, and Wald test, we predict and find that large firms and/or firms with higher net PP&E to total assets ratios are more likely to revalue PP&E, and firms adopting the fair value option for PP&E record lower depreciation in the post-IFRS period.

This study examines whether the cost of debt decreases with auditor industry specialization at the engagement partner level. Most audits are conducted on private companies and audit partners mainly gain industry expertise on private company audits. This paper uses data from public and private companies in Thailand and investigates the moderating effects of company type and the global financial crisis (GFC) on the association between auditor industry specialization and the cost of debt. The results indicate that audit partner industry specialization is negatively associated with the cost of debt only in the GFC period. In contrast to findings from prior studies, I find no additional benefit from hiring an industry specialist during the non-crisis period.","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44875038","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}

Using proprietary data from the Chinese Institute of CPAs, we find that pre-audit earnings quality is higher for Big 4 clients. Controlling for pre-audit earnings quality, restatement frequency is lower for Big 4 clients than for non-Big 4 clients, but there is no significant difference in discretionary accruals between Big 4 and non-Big 4 clients. Our findings indicate that Big 4 and non-Big 4 auditors in China pursue different strategies to enhance audit quality. The Big 4 enhance audit quality by recruiting and retaining clients with higher earnings quality and acting more conservatively towards clients with a higher risk for earnings restatement. In contrast, non-Big 4 auditors enhance audit quality by requiring more downward audit adjustments.","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43920219","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}

Further cross-sectional tests reveal that the role of corporate transparency in firm growth and external financing is less pronounced among bank-oriented countries as compared to market-oriented countries.

Using a sample of 6,985 firm-year observations in Japan over the period 2001 to 2017, we find that banks in Japan evaluate off-balance sheet operating leases in certain circumstances. First, we find that banks evaluate such leases when firms have a strong relationship with a main bank. Second, banks assess firms’ credit risk by evaluating operating leases if there is a strong main bank relationship especially when estimation reliability is low. We uncover robust results by controlling for the systematic characteristics of a strong main bank relationship. Our study thus suggests that the main bank relationship plays the important role of conveying the off-balance sheet operating leases in loan contracts in Japan.","PeriodicalId":45457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Accounting Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49242196","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}
