We provide an answer to this unresolved issue by considering the role of legal regime in shaping auditors' pricing strategy in a concentrated market. Using data from 33 countries, we find no significant association between audit market concentration and audit fees in the pooled international sample. However, a country's legal regime changes this association dramatically: the association is significantly positive in countries with a weak legal regime but becomes weaker and eventually turns negative as countries' legal regime becomes stronger. Our study highlights the importance of country-level institutions in determining how market structure affects market participants' behavior.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"28 1","pages":"206-225"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62670880","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 propensity score match approach, we find evidence of higher earnings comparability between a pair of client firms audited by the same individual auditors. However, in subsamples of client firm pairs that are of high importance or are located in a competitive audit market, we find earnings comparability of client firms audited by the same individual auditors diminishes.

Further, the study reports a vision for the future of IA. By surveying a wide range of stakeholders, including the board, management, internal auditors, teachers and a legislator, we expand on the views in earlier literature regarding IA, IA developments and the application of Delphi argument analysis in voluntary IA context.

Exploiting the staggered adoption of universal demand (UD) laws at the state level in the United States, we use a stacked regression approach and find a lower propensity for affected firms to switch to higher-quality auditors after the exogenous reduction of managerial litigation risk. This result supports the managerial entrenchment hypothesis that lower litigation risk leads to more managerial entrenchment, which allows managers to be opaque in order to enjoy private benefits. This negative effect is mitigated for firms with more audit committee industry expertise and for firms that are more reliant on external finance. Our study contributes to our understanding of how regulatory changes that have an impact on agency problems affect firms' demand for auditing.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"28 1","pages":"142-169"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12322","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43926020","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}

Further analysis reveals that the effect is stronger for firms with higher information asymmetry, lower audit quality and weaker financial environments.
