초록

본 연구의 목적은 자율공시수준이 감사인의 감사보수 및 감사시간에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 실증적으로 분석하고, 추가적으로 둘 간의 관계가 회계이익의 질에 따라 달라지는지 확인하고자 한다. 분석을 위한 최종표본은 2007년부터 2013년까지의 유가증권상장기업을 대상으로 감사보수(감사시간)는 4,572개(4,460개)의 기업/년 자료가 활용되었다. 본 연구의 실증분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 자율공시기업은 자율공시를 수행하지 않은 기업에 비해 감사인의 감사보수가 높은 것으로 나타났고, 자율공시기업만을 대상으로 한 경우에도 같은 결과가 나타났다. 둘째, 자율공시기업은 그렇지 않은 기업에 비해 감사인의 감사시간이 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났고, 이러한 결과는 자율공시기업만을 대상으로 분석한 경우에도 일치된 결과가 나타났다. 셋째, 자율공시기업의 회계이익의 질이 좋지 못한 경우 감사인의 감사보수는 유의하게 낮아진 반면, 자율공시기업을 대상으로 한 경우에는 관련성이 확인되지 않았다. 넷째, 자율공시기업의 회계이익의 질이 나쁜 경우에는 감사인이 감사시간을 덜 투입하는 것으로 확인되었지만, 자율공시기업만을 대상으로 분석한 경우에는 이와 같은 사실이 확인되지 않았다. 본 연구는 자율공시수준에 따라 감사인의 감사위험이 달라진다는 사실을 감사보수 및 감사시간 측면에서 살펴보았다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

The purpose of this study is to make an empirical analysis of how voluntary disclosure level has an impact on auditor's audit fees and audit hours and additionally identify if the relationship between the twos depends on the accounting quality. As final sample for analysis, this study targeted the KOSPI listed firms from 2007 to 2013, and as for audit fees(audit hours), 4,572 (4,460) corporate/annual data were used. The results from the empirical analysis in this study are as follows. First, auditor's audit fees appeared higher in KOSPI listed firms compared to the non-KOSPI listed firms, and when targeting the KOSPI listed firms only, the results were the same. Second, auditor's audit hours increased significantly in the KOSPI listed firms compared to the non-KOSPI listed firms, and this result appeared consistently even when analyzing the KOSPI listed firms only. Third, when the accounting quality was not good in the KOSPI listed firms, auditor's audit fees got significantly lower, whereas when targeting the KOSPI listed firms only, no relevance was found. Fourth, when the accounting quality was bad in the KOSPI listed firms, auditor's audit hours were found to have been spent less, but when analyzing the KOSPI listed firms only, such a fact was not identified. This study is significant in that it examined the fact that auditor's audit risk depends on voluntary disclosure level in terms of audit fees and audit hours.
