This is due to the potential adverse consequences of underperforming relative to local peers. As the number of local peers increases, there is increased local competition, which creates pressure to perform as well as competitors. Firms respond to this pressure by exhibiting earnings similarity to meet market expectations and to take advantage of external financing and growth opportunities. However, we show that this mimicking behavior creates a false similarity and is achieved by firms reporting higher levels of unexpected accruals. This is consistent with the idea that mimicking allows firms to maintain their relative performance with local rivals. These results continue to hold for a sample of firms that move to a location with a higher number of local peers than their initial location. We also find that firms in cities with more peers have a greater likelihood of earnings misstatements. In cross-sectional analyses, the adverse effect of more local peers on earnings quality is stronger for firms with greater market attention, where external financing dependence is higher, and among firms in locations with more growth opportunities. Overall, our evidence points to geographic proximity as a key mechanism in a firm’s reporting behavior in that firms mimic to produce a false similarity in earnings that is achieved through accruals management.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 107174"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139027903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a hand-collected dataset, we examine the determinants of audit clients’ voluntary bifurcation of total tax NAS fees into the tax planning and compliance components, and the effect of these voluntary disclosures on firm value. We find that firms with higher levels of tax NAS are more likely to provide this disclosure, as well as firms that engage in higher levels of tax avoidance and have accounting experts serve on the audit committee. Using textual analysis, we find that among voluntary tax NAS fee breakdown disclosers, firms with higher total tax and, specifically, tax planning NAS fees have longer and less similar tax NAS fee disclosures relative to the prior period disclosure. Our firm value analyses indicate higher valuations for firms providing voluntary breakdown disclosures when these disclosures reveal high tax NAS fees generally, and high tax planning NAS fees specifically. The firm valuation effects are incrementally more pronounced when voluntary tax NAS fee breakdown firms report higher tax avoidance and expert audit committee oversight. Our results suggest that the voluntary disclosure of private information regarding the nature of tax NAS is one mechanism through which firms facing scrutiny over the implications of these services can alleviate information asymmetry and stakeholder skepticism of tax NAS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 107160"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138688077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that our findings are unlikely to be driven by factors such as pre-succession restructuring, institutional ownership, and board quality that could trigger strategic changes and the appointment of an outsider CEO. Further, we provide evidence to rule out the possibility of our results being influenced by self-selection or omitted variables biases. We also find that the ability of outsider CEOs to mitigate going concern opinions in their appointment year significantly contributes to the subsequent improvements in the financial performance of distressed firms. Further tests on some mechanisms through which new external CEOs can reduce the likelihood of going concern opinions show that firms with such CEO appointees are more likely to reduce dividends and labor costs, issue equity, and reduce product similarity of prospector firms relative to their peers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 107159"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278425423001199/pdfft?md5=85fad9e1a87cfbb1924f7647d255e8ed&pid=1-s2.0-S0278425423001199-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138546253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taking that autonomy away by requiring individuals to use a pre-filled system could have negative consequences. Prior research has shown that implementing a pre-filled system in the U.S. may decrease compliance. Building on prior literature, results of an experiment manipulating filing method (traditional vs. pre-filled) and autonomy (present vs. absent) indicate that taxpayers who are given autonomy to choose the pre-filled system report significantly less aggressively than those forced to use it. Given that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revoked its promise not to compete with tax preparation software companies—opening the door for an IRS-created pre-filled filing system—this study has major implications for policymakers. Namely, policymakers would have to decide whether to make a pre-filled tax return system voluntary or mandatory. This study sheds light on the consequences of this policy decision.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48070,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Public Policy","volume":"43 ","pages":"Article 107171"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138484162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
