報(bào)告簡介

The recent ground-breaking reforms of auditing standards require auditors to disclose critical audit matters (CAM), which greatly enhance the informativeness and flexibility of audit report. This study investigates whether managers will utilize that flexibility to convey private information to investors, and whether auditors will certify that information. Based on a sample of CAMs disclosed by listed firms on China stock markets, we find that for firms with severe financial constraint and scarce analyst coverage, auditors tend to disclose more CAMs and audit responses in audit reports, and auditors are more likely to provide confirmative comments. Further analyses find that firms with confirmative CAMs have lower cost of capital, positive short-term market reaction, higher value relevance and ERC, and higher long-term market valuation. With regards to incentives of firms, we find that the communicating effect of CAMs primarily exists in firms with private owners, headquartered in regions with poor financial development, and with higher level of information uncertainty and financial risk. The certifying effect is more pronounced for firms located in regions with poor financial development, with higher level of information uncertainty and growth potential. With regards to incentives of auditors, we find that auditors tend to charge higher audit fees when helping firms to convey information, are less likely to certify the CAMs when firms engage in more earnings management, and the client importance has no impact on the disclosure of CAMs. Such results indicate that auditors take litigation risk and reputation penalty into consideration when helping firms to communicate and certify private information. The content analysis finds that for firms with severe financial constraint and scarce analyst coverage, the CAMs tend to be more readable, more positive and less boilerplate. Overall, the empirical results demonstrate that CAMs can help to communicate and certify private information of certain firms.
