  • This research investigates the consequences of the increase in corporate use of short-term debt in China over the past decades. Using a sample of Chinese firms from 2007 to 2018, we empirically explore the effect of corporate use of short-term debt for long-term investment (SFLI) on audit pricing. We first examine the relationship between SFLI and audit pricing for different groups of firms. Then, we investigate the role of the increase in short-term debt in alleviating principal-agent conflicts and reducing agency costs. We have four primary empirical findings. First, auditors tend to charge SFLI clients higher fees. Second, the negative relationship between SFLI and audit fee is found in private firms, firms audited by Chinese domestic auditors, and firms with higher information asymmetry. Third, the time auditors spent on SFLI clients is significantly more than that spent on non-SFLI clients, suggesting that the decrease in audit fee is not due to the decrease in cost. Fourth, SFLI significantly reduces the agency costs of the firm, which auditors regard as a low risk signal and grant an audit fee discount. Our findings suggest that the decrease in debt maturity, not only influences managerial behaviors, but also influences auditors' risk assessment and pricing decisions.

  • 2014년도 회계감사보고서부터 외감법의 개정에 따라 감사보고서에 관한 7조의 2의 외부감사 참여인원 수, 감사내용 및 소요시간 등 외부감사 실시내용을 적은 서류를 첨부하도록 되었다. 본 연구에서는 개정된 외부감사 실시내용을 반영하여 정부출연기관의 용역예정원가계산에 의하여 감사보수를 산정한다. 본 연구에서는 대상기업(전기 적정의견, 직전년도 자산총액 1,000억원, 제조업, 사전의 의뢰인 수임에서 내부통제위험 및 유의적인 감사위험이 없는 것으로 가정한 상장기업)을 국가계약법의 용역원가계산 체계에 따라 인건비, 경비, 일반관리비, 이윤의 4가지 비목을 합계하여 감사보수를 산출한다. 그리고 회계감사의 참여자와 감사투입시간을 확인하기 위하여 Big-4 회계법인에 예정원가 산정 대상기업에 대한 견적을 의뢰하여 계정된 외부감사 실시내용을 적은 서류에 따라 수집한 결과를 이용하였다. 인건비는 2014년 학술연구용역비 인건비기준단가의 참여율 150% 적용, 경비는 한국은행의 기업경영분석(2013년)의 회계법인등의 평균을 사용, 일반관리비는 국가를 당사자로 하는 계약에 관한 법률 시행규칙 7조1항 용역업의 일반관리비율 5%를 적용, 이윤은 국가를 당사자로 하는 계약에 관한 법률 시행규칙 7조2항 용역업의 이윤율 10%가 적용되었다. 이를 적용한 예정원가 계산에 의한 감사보수는 50,617,769원이 산출되었다. 본 연구의 결과가 최적의 적정감사보수는 아니다 할지라도 기준이 없는 기업의 감사보수를 비교할 수 있는 기본 척도로 사용 할 수 있을 것이다. 그리고 이러한 외감법의 개정은 이전의 총 투입 감사시간만을 공시한 것보다 감사인의 독립성과 회계제도의 투명성을 제고할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The purpose of this study is to test both the alignment theory and entertainment theory on family firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange. To achieve these goals, we collected secondary data from 164 non-financial family firms in various sectors during 2014-18. These family firms are classified into two categories: family control firms and family owned firms. We take the audit fee and the audit quality as dependent variables while family control firms, family-owned firms, and family CEOs as independent variables. In addition, the study uses leverage, profit and export as control variables. To test the effect of the explanatory variables on the output variables, we use two econometric models, Ordinary Least Square and the Probit regression model. In addition, Huber Sandwich test is used to check the non-normality and heteroscedasticity of panel data. Contrary to the alignment effect, the study supports the entrenchment effect and advocates that family-controlled firms as well as family-owned firms are not conscientious regarding the selection of external auditors during their contracts with audit firms. They are less likely to pay high audit fees for good quality audit in Pakistan. Furthermore, the study shows a statistically significant and positive relationship between audit quality and audit fees.

  • 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.

  • 본 연구에서는 회계정보의 질 대리변수로 회계이익-과세소득 차이 변동성을 활용하여 감사품질이 회계정보의 질에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다. 연구표본은 2010년부터 2014년까지의 유가증권 상장기업으로, 총 2,412 기업-연도이다. 본 연구의 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 분석결과, 감사품질을 회계이익-과세소득 차이 변동성과 음(-)의 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 감사품질이 우수할수록 회계이익-과세소득 차이 변동성이 낮은 것으로, 감사품질이 우수할수록 회계정보의 질이 높음을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구에 의하면 우수한 감사품질은 회계정보의 질 제고에 일정 부분 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구는 급변하는 감사환경에서 감사품질에 대한 논란이 큰 이슈가 되는 현 시점에서, 수준 높은 외부감사의 효용을 제시함으로써 시의적절하며 외부감사가 자본시장의 파수꾼 역할을 하는 데에도 미약하나마 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

  • This study examines the relationship between the effectiveness of an audit committee and the amount of audit fees. The sample consists of 130 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2016-2017. Data are obtained from the IDX and company's annual reports. The effectiveness of an audit committee is measured by independent audit committee size, frequency of audit committee meetings, and expertise of the audit committee. Results show first that the size of the independent audit committee has a positive effect on audit fees. This finding suggests that an increase in the number of independent audit committee members produces a higher quality of reporting, and so they tend to choose a reputable public accountant. Second, the frequency of its meetings has positive effects on audit fees. It suggests that the more effective the supervision of the committee to improve audit quality, the higher the audit fees to be paid. However, this study fails to provide evidence that the expertise of the audit committee affects audit fees. The result of this study suggests that the audit committee tends to adopt the demand approach based on the reputation of the public accounting firm accountant firm in determining the amount of audit fees.

  • Purpose - This paper examines whether product market competition in distribution and service industries is related to audit quality. This paper investigates, specifically, the relationship in distribution and service industries by using Herfindahl-Hirschman Index and audit quality measured by audit fee and audit hour. Research design, data, and methodology - Using 1,011 firm-year observations of listed companies from 2002 to 2016 in distribution and service industries, this study examines whether product market competition in distribution and service industries is related to audit quality. Results - This study finds that market competition in distribution and service industries is negatively related to audit quality and this negative relation is pronounced for the firms with high outside director groups. Further analysis suggests that the relationship between market competition and audit hours is no longer significant. Conclusions - This study extended the existing scope of the audit quality study by systematically analyzing the impact of industrial-level characteristics (i.e. market competition) in the distribution service industries on audit quality. This study, in other words, suggests the regulatory body consider the industrial-level characteristics of each industry in order to enhance audit quality.

  • The paper investigates the factors that affect the demand for a voluntary audit of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. A structured questionnaire survey of 284 SMEs was employed, preceded by in-depth interviews with auditors and SMEs' managers. The research used logistic regression estimator to address econometric issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients. The results show that the degree of director's view on voluntary audit, related stakeholder, degree of recommendation, and firm size have a statistically significant positive effect on audit decisions of SMEs while degree of audit fee has a statistically significant negative effect, and degree of subjective norm does not affect. This indicated that SMEs are more likely to have an external audit if they have some typical features: it is becoming larger in terms of size, and the directors consider that the audit has a relative benefit outweighing its cost. The research results suggested that Vietnam Government should make a statutory audit of SMEs' financial statements rather than make it an option for SMEs. The auditing firms were also recommended to actively take their audit services to SMEs rather than waiting for the SMEs' managers to contact them for their services.

  • 최근 우리나라 기업의 회계투명성에 대한 불신이 심각한 상황이다. 회계투명성에 대한 불신은 기업의 자본조달비용을 증가시키므로 수익성을 악화시킨다. 감사업계는 낮은 회계투명성의 원인을 감사인과 피감사기업 간의 수의계약으로 보고 있다. 피감사기업이 감사인을 고용하면서 낮은 감사보수를 요구하며, 이론적으로 낮은 감사보수는 감사자원 투입의 저하를 초래하여 감사품질을 감소시킨다. 그러나 이에 대한 실증적 증거는 전무한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 연도-산업별로 감사보수가 평균보다 낮은 감사인을 저가수임 감사인으로 선정하고, 이러한 감사인들의 감사품질이 상대적으로 낮은지를 검증하였다. 연구 결과, 저가수임 감사인으로부터 감사를 받은 피감사기업의 재량적 발생액이 상대적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 저가수임이 감사품질에 부정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 본 연구는 감사보수와 관련된 여러 정책개발에 실증적 증거로 제시될 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this research is to examines the effect of the audit offer and simultaneous tax services from auditors on the firm value of clients. To test this hypothesis, we used the samples of the auditors' tax services selected from firms listed on the securities markets of Korea. We use the methodology of regression analysis. The major findings are as follows. First, TAX_SER has a positive relationship with the firm value. The knowledge and experience resulting from the offer of audit services are applied to the process of offering tax services to enhance the professionalism of audit and tax services. Second, the analysis was performed to determine if the type of tax services from auditors and the type of listed markets make any difference in the effect of TAX_SER1 on TQ; the study has revealed that only tax adjustment has a positive effect on TQ in the type of tax services. Depending on the type of listed markets, TAX_SER1 has been found to have a differential effect on the firm value. The results show that investors might decide to invest in those firms where the auditor could increase the firm value through audit and tax services.
