Abstract
The accounting profession claims that the substantial litigation costs incurred to defend against negligence claims are used by plaintiffs to coerce settlement. We examine a model of auditing and settlement under the U.S. and British systems of allocating litigation costs between a plaintiff and defendant and compare the level of equilibrium auditing and audit pricing across the two regimes.
