讲座主题:The Extent of Internal Control Audits and Financial Reporting Quality: Does Company Size Matter?

 

主持人:李哲

摘要:Abstract: This study examines the impact of the extent of internal control (IC) audits on financial reporting quality proxied by the likelihood of financial statement misstatements. Using IC audit fees from Chinese companies to proxy for the extent of IC audit effort, we find that increased IC audit fees are associated with lower financial reporting quality. However, such effect only applies to small companies but not large companies. This effect is also stronger for small companies with financial distress. The results are consistent with the argument that auditors of small companies experience increased integration errors and confirmation bias when leveraging costly IC audits in financial statement audits, leading to poor financial reporting quality. We also find when large companies have poor internal control quality, the greater IC audit effort significantly reduces the likelihood of material misstatements, indicating the benefits of IC audits to large companies with poor internal control quality. Overall, these results suggest that it is important to consider company size when evaluating the costs and benefits of IC audits.
