The European Union is a rare instance requiring audit firm and audit partner rotation simultaneously. By analysing 6,103 firm-year observations of non-financial firms from 29 European countries between 2018 and 2022, this study finds that audit firm rotations are associated with considerable changes in key audit matters, suggesting the existence of a fresh-look effect. In contrast, audit partner rotations appear to induce only limited variations in the key audit areas. Additional analyses reveal that the results are consistent across mandatory and voluntary rotations. Collectively, the findings suggest that audit firm rotations enable auditors to overcome institutional pressures toward standardisation within audit firms, while practical considerations such as the requirement of gradual rotation mechanisms within audit firms might limit individual audit partners' influence. This study adds to the inconclusive literature on the effects of (mandatory) audit partner and audit firm rotations. Further, the results contribute new insights into the consequences of the EU audit reform that has introduced mandatory audit firm rotation and provide evidence in favour of audit firm rotation requirements for other regulators.</p>","PeriodicalId":47092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Auditing","volume":"29 1","pages":"160-187"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ijau.12364","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744304","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 gain or loss of large clients is one publicly available signal that can used by other clients to ascertain the quality provided by audit firms. This paper examines whether this quality signal results in firms earning fee premiums and discounts. Empirical examination of a sample of 16,233 firm-years of listed Australian companies for the period 2011–2021 shows that there is an association between offices and industry groups that gain and lose large clients, in both the current and previous periods, and economically significant fee premiums for both Big-4 and non-Big-4 firms.

Diversity theory suggests that diversity can benefit a team's work quality if the variety of team characteristics improves decision-making and performance. However, team diversity can have harmful affective outcomes if team members separate into different categories, and thus they feel stressed, intend to leave the profession or experience conflict between team members. We investigated this paradox in team diversity in an audit context at a Big 4 audit firm in Sweden, which provided proprietary team data. In addition, 335 individuals from 185 different audit teams responded to a questionnaire. Each participant responded to a survey about their experience with one specific engagement. Results indicated that team diversity benefits the audit team's affective outcomes of role stress, satisfaction and turnover intentions.

Using a sample of 29,607 firm-year observations for the period 2011–2021, I find that firms headquartered in more corrupt countries pay higher audit fees and have longer reporting lags. I also show that this relationship is stronger after the EU audit reform came into force in 2016. The results suggest that auditors respond to corruption risk stemming from the broader macroeconomic environment by increasing audit fees and audit effort. In additional analyses, I show how the association between audit fees and corruption varies across firm industries, and I document that female engagement partners tend to be more sensitive to corruption risk than their male counterparts. Ultimately, I find unexpected evidence indicating that financial reporting quality, proxied by discretionary accruals, is not adversely affected by corruption.
