摘要

监管机构和从业人员担心,非美国通用会计准则披露缺乏标准化会使用户在处理非美国通用会计准则收益并将其用于决策时面临挑战。我们研究了审计师的风格是否超出了强制性披露的范围,从而导致非美国通用会计准则盈利披露的相似性。具体来说,我们发现由同一审计师审计的客户更有可能以相似的方式披露非美国通用会计准则收益。我们通过以下几个方面来评估披露的相似性:(1)披露非美国通用会计准则盈利的决定;(2)非美国通用会计准则盈利在盈利新闻稿中的显著披露程度;(3)非美国通用会计准则盈利在年报管理层讨论与分析中的讨论情况;(4)选择剔除经常性项目的情况;(5)收到美国证券交易委员会与非美国通用会计准则盈利相关的意见函的情况。我们发现,审计师风格与非美国通用会计准则披露之间的关联是由四大会计师事务所和由同一审计事务所审计的客户决定的。对于规模较大的审计事务所和规模较小的客户而言,结果更为显著。我们提供的证据表明,审计师促进了非美国通用会计准则的披露,这可以改善对美国证券交易委员会要求的遵守,并提高非美国通用会计准则盈利披露的标准化程度。我们的研究结果与当前有关审计师参与未经审计的非美国通用会计准则盈利报告的政策讨论相关。

Does auditor style influence non-GAAP earnings disclosure?

Regulators and practitioners have concerns that the lack of standardization in non-GAAP disclosure can make it challenging for users to process non-GAAP earnings and use it in decision-making. We examine whether auditor style extends beyond mandatory disclosures to induce similarity in non-GAAP earnings disclosures. Specifically, we find that clients audited by the same auditor are more likely to disclose non-GAAP earnings in a similar manner. We assess disclosure similarity using (1) the decision to disclose non-GAAP earnings, (2) the disclosure prominence of non-GAAP earnings in the earnings press release, (3) the discussion of non-GAAP earnings in the management discussion and analysis of the annual report, (4) the choice to exclude recurring items, and (5) the receipt of SEC comment letters related to non-GAAP earnings. We find that the association between auditor style and non-GAAP disclosure is determined by Big 4 accounting firms and clients audited by the same audit office. The results are stronger for larger audit offices and smaller clients. We provide evidence that auditors facilitate non-GAAP disclosure, which can improve compliance with SEC requirements and increase the standardization of non-GAAP earnings disclosures. Our results are relevant to current policy discussions regarding auditor involvement in unaudited non-GAAP earnings reporting.
