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}

The nature of KAMs is auditors' interpretations of the risk of material misstatements.

We also find that the extent of auditors' interpretations of the risk of material misstatements is positively related to the quality of analysts' earnings forecasts.

Our argument is that the experience gap between signing auditors could lower the information risk and improve audit quality, leading to a decreased cost of capital. Using unique data from China, where the information of the signing auditors can be obtained from audit reports, we find that a higher experience gap between signing auditors is linked to a lower cost of capital. Further analysis reveals that the effect is stronger for firms with higher information asymmetry, lower audit quality and weaker financial environments. Our results suggest that the higher experience gap between signing auditors can reduce information asymmetry by enhancing audit quality, and external investors incorporate this factor into pricing strategy, thereby, resulting in a lower cost of capital.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"28 1","pages":"62-82"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41707626","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}

Seeking the underlying reasons, we indeed find that both client business risk and misreporting risk are lower for firms with local CEOs.

Additional analysis reveals that fundraisers are more likely to engage a Big 4 auditor than an industry specialist; this suggests that the motivation for engaging a high-quality auditor may be to use the auditor as a scapegoat rather than to ensure superior knowledge and advice.
