While trade credit is an increasingly common financing tool, it is not uncommon for trade credit to become past due, increasing a supplier's own financial risks. We use two events reflecting regulatory and global sources of variation in trade credit risk: BAPCPA's strengthening of creditor protections and the COVID-19 pandemic's supply chain disruptions. Using a difference-in-difference design, we find that post-BAPCPA auditors levy lower audit fees on suppliers whose customers exhibit greater trade credit risk, reflecting the greater certainty surrounding regulatory enhancement of creditor protections. We further find that post-COVID-19 auditors levy higher audit fees on suppliers whose customers exhibit greater trade credit risk. We then investigate the role of supply chain risks in addition to audit effort and audit quality implications. Overall, we find evidence that auditors account for trade credit risk in audit pricing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46906,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Accounting","volume":"68 ","pages":"Article 100819"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144108205","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}

Specifically, we use a natural experiment — the staggered introduction of the anti-recharacterization laws (ARLs) — to investigate the causal relationship between financial constraints and cost stickiness. Implementing anti-recharacterization state regulation increases the value of a firm's collateral, resulting in lower external financing costs and improved credit market access. We hypothesize that this improves firms' ability to obtain external funding for expansion and allows firms facing sales decreases to retain their resources for a potential rebound. This results in an increase in cost stickiness. Our findings support the hypothesis that cost stickiness increases after the passage of the ARLs. Moreover, the effect of these laws is more pronounced for high-growth firms, firms with more stringent financial constraints, and firms relying on external financing, especially financing through special purpose vehicles (SPVs). These changes in asymmetric cost behavior are driven by economic incentives that improve firm performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46906,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Accounting","volume":"68 ","pages":"Article 100816"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143833443","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 empirical analysis used accounting data from 3928 unique hotel firms operating in Greece, over the period 2003–2018. Panel fixed effects and logit regression analysis indicated that the introduction of the new principle-based HAS contributed to an increase in earnings management and income smoothing behaviors of private hotel firms. Furthermore, the deterioration of accounting quality under the new HAS was more severe for medium and small hotel firms, relative to their larger counterparts.

Using a survey experiment and adopting both between-subjects and within-subjects designs, we developed three distinct firm scenarios: one where the firm did not disclose climate-related risks; the second where the firm disclosed climate-related risks only (following the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) guidelines); and the third where the firm disclosed both climate-related risks and corresponding risk mitigation strategies (also in line with the TCFD guidelines). From our analysis of a sample of 96 stock market investors in Australia, the results show that the investors were inclined to commit more money to the two firms that disclosed climate-related risks than the firm that did not. Moreover, the most money was invested in the firm that disclosed both the risks and risk mitigation strategies, irrespective of the investment horizon. Further, we found no evidence that the investors' belief in climate change moderates the association between disclosure level and investors' investment decision. The study demonstrates the contemporary significance of climate change as a pertinent investment risk and the heightened importance investors are placing on companies to manage associated risks.
