The 2012 Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act creates many exemptions to reduce the cost of going public for smaller issuers that qualify as an Emerging Growth Company (EGC). One set of provisions allows analysts affiliated with an EGC's underwriters to communicate privately with management and potential investors before the IPO. Using a sample of IPOs during 2001–2022, we find that the dispersion in affiliated analysts' initiation forecasts is significantly higher for EGCs than similar IPOs in the pre-JOBS period. A </span>path analysis reveals that the JOBS Act indirectly contributes to the heightened post-IPO stock return volatility through the mediating role of forecast dispersion among affiliated analysts. Our exploratory analyses suggest that more significant variations in affiliated analysts' social connections and their workload tend to be associated with higher forecast dispersion. Overall, our findings indicate that having privileged access to management could reduce consensus among analysts, which can increase post-IPO stock return volatility in EGCs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46906,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Accounting","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 100729"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139406434","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 levels of audit clients' strategic change are positively associated with the magnitude of audit adjustments and audit fees, suggesting that auditors exert greater effort, and propose larger audit adjustments, on these audits. We argue that during a client’ strategic change, auditors rely less on prior experience with the client, and increase their perceived risk of the audit. Further results show a positive correlation between clients' strategic change and the experience level of auditors assigned to the client by the audit firm. We also find evidence that levels of strategic change are negatively associated with pre-audit financial reporting quality, indicating that auditors' perceived risk for clients undergoing strategic change is consistent with clients' real financial reporting risk. Evidence on regulatory sanctions suggests that audit adjustments mitigate the positive association between clients' strategic change and the likelihood of those clients' being sanctioned. Taken together, these results suggest that auditors incorporate clients' strategic change into their assessment of client risk and implement appropriate responses to that risk, and that audit adjustments help companies avoid regulatory sanction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46906,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Accounting","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 100721"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139099869","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 quarterly filing data in the post-SOX era from March 2003 to December 2016, this study examines the impact of these requirements, with a focus on the effect of ACFE on the main earnings manipulation tactics used to just meet or beat analyst expectations (JUSTMBE). Our study investigates the effects of overall ACFE and its components on three key earnings management tactics, namely, discretionary accruals, real activities management, and non-GAAP financial disclosures. We observe that firms with a higher level of ACFE, particularly accounting and </span>finance expertise, exhibit a lower propensity to JUSTMBE. Furthermore, we posit that two upward earnings manipulations, accrual-based and real activities management, are significantly mitigated by ACFE through a complementary effect of its accounting and supervisory expertise components. However, we identify a clear strategic shift in which non-GAAP financial disclosures with unexpected exclusions become a popular alternative tactic for managers to JUSTMBE under the increasing presence of ACFE. This study provides empirical evidence with implications for regulators to consider more rigorous intervention and regulation on non-GAAP disclosures and to refine the requirement of audit committee financial experts with an emphasis on the complement of accounting and non-accounting financial expertise to effectively curtail earnings manipulation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46906,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Accounting","volume":"64 ","pages":"Article 100725"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139065925","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 professional accountants in Bangladesh who have higher levels of Islamic religiosity values are supportive of statutory control, conservatism, uniformity, and secrecy. These findings suggest that professional accountants in Bangladesh are less likely to be supportive of principles-based financial reporting standards such as IFRS.

Using FTSE all-share nonfinancial firms, our estimates show a significant association between the tone of narrative disclosure (measured by the percentage of positive words, negative words, and net tone) and the prevalence of earnings management. The results also suggest that manipulating firms, which represent extreme cases of earnings management, are more likely to use less negative tone to conceal their fraudulent practices. In contrast, non-manipulating firms tend to use more positive tone to mask their involvement in managing earnings. Additionally, the paper examines the market reaction to both earnings management and the tone of narrative disclosure. The findings reveal that earnings management and net tone are positively associated with abnormal market returns for non-manipulating firms, but have no significant association for manipulating firms.
