Abstract

PCAOB conducts the direct supervision for the PCAOB registered accounting firm. Therefore, if an accounting firm is registered with the PCAOB, it will thoroughly manage for their quality management systems. The registered auditor can be expected to have better quality of the audit. This study carried out the analysis using the audit fee which proxies for audit quality. The results of analysis are as follows. After controlling for foreign accounting firms affiliated status, company size, risky assets, leverage, ROA, and market-related variables, PCAOB is a significant explanatory variable for the audit fees. The results of this study support the hypothesis that PCAOB-registered auditors will provide a good audit quality.

외국회계감독기구인 PCAOB(Public Company Accounting Oversight Board)는 PCAOB 등록 회계법인에 대해 직접 해당국가에 방문하여 해당법인에 대한 감리를 수행한다. 국내 회계법인이 PCAOB에 해당 감사인이 등록할 경우에 국내뿐만 아니라 국외의 회계감독기구로부터 직접 품질관리 감리를 받을 가능성이 있으므로 자신의 감사와 관련된 품질시스템을 보다 더 세심하게 관리하게 될 것이다. 본 연구는 감사보수를 감사품질의 대용치로 하여 실증분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 가설검정을 위하여 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 외국회계법인 제휴유무, 기업규모, 위험자산, 부채 레버리지, ROA, 그리고 주식시장관련 변수를 통제한 후에도 PCAOB 등록은 추가적으로 종속변수인 감사보수에 유의미한 설명력을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 외국회계감독기구인 PCAOB에 등록한 감사인은 그렇지 않은 감사인들 보다 양호한 감사품질을 제공할 것이라는 본 연구가설을 지지하며 향후 감사품질관리와 관련한 제도에 시사점을 준다고 하겠다.
