In our model, the auditor decides on effort allocation between a financial audit and a sustainability audit. Our analysis reveals that, in a competitive market, legislators may not consistently drive higher financial (sustainability) audit efforts solely through increased litigation payments for financial (sustainability) audit errors. Based on the cost structure, there exists either a substitutive effect or a complementary effect; that is, increasing litigation for errors in the financial audit increases the financial audit effort while simultaneously increasing or decreasing the sustainability audit effort and vice versa. In both scenarios, an overall improvement in audit quality is observed with increased litigation. We extend our analysis to a two-provider setting, where the above results hold structurally under some conditions. The overall audit quality can be higher or lower than in the one-provider setting. These findings represent novel insights not previously explored in the existing literature.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"29 3","pages":"436-453"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12378","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The statistical results suggest that the IAFs of public US universities responded to admissions risk after the scandal. However, the responses vary among IAFs with different structures. Centralized IAFs emerged as early reactors to admissions risk, whereas decentralized IAFs promptly reacted to admissions risk post-scandal.

Because companies will only pay for the private benefit of an audit, there is a potential market failure in which audit quality is underproduced relative to the theoretical social optimum, which is Pigou's classic argument for regulation to correct the market failure. While Pigou's framework can identify the need for regulation, it cannot determine the optimum level of regulation. This means regulators must focus on the net benefits of regulations on a case-by-case basis, and not presume regulation is needed because of externalities, per se. Careful assessment of costs and benefits is necessary to prevent overregulation that has potentially harmful consequences for audit firms and clients. However, this assessment is challenging given the difficulty in defining and measuring the benefits of higher quality audits, suggesting a need for restraint in regulatory policy-making.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"29 3","pages":"366-375"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample of 10,237 firm-year observations from Chinese firms between 2011 and 2022, we find that CSR assurance reduces crash risk and moderates the negative relationship between CSR reporting and crash risk. The effect of CSR assurance does not significantly differ between firms with voluntary and mandatory CSR reports. Additionally, we find that accounting firms as CSR assurers mitigate crash risk and moderate the adverse ‘CSR reporting and crash risk’ relationship, with the mitigating effect being more pronounced when the assurer is a Big Four firm compared to a non-Big Four firm. Our heterogeneity analysis reveals that institutional monitoring and ownership types are key factors influencing these findings. The results remain robust to endogeneity concerns, alternative measures of crash risk and CSR reporting, the exclusions of specific sample periods and the inclusion of firm fixed effects.

Extra-billing is an auditor billing practice where the auditor invoices a higher amount than originally negotiated with the client. Although extra-billing is common in audit practice, it has not yet received much attention in audit research. Understanding audit as a professional service, we conceptualize extra-billing as a factor that is instrumental in creating or preventing bonding, which influences the repeat purchasing behaviour of a client, such as retaining an incumbent auditor. Seventy-eight board members responsible for audit matters completed a case that varied auditor extra-billing (no extra-billing or extra-billing) and the quality of the auditor–board member relationship (good or bad relationship). The results show that both an extra-billing and a bad auditor–board member relationship increase the likelihood of a client-initiated auditor change.

For this purpose, we conducted an experiment with a 2 × 2 + 1 between-subject design and financial analysts from Turkey as participants. The extent of financial analyst reliance on the combating bribery and corruption report of a fictitious company, their likelihood to recommend the purchase of shares of the fictitious company, their related credit risk assessment and the likelihood that they purchase shares in the fictitious company served as dependent variables. The analyses are based on 116 responses after the elimination of manipulation check failures.
