RE-THINKING MANDATORY AUDITOR ROTATION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Since formation of the European Union, there has been a worldwide upsurge in regulation of the auditing profession, which has included mandatory auditor rotation and this has also found its way into South African company law, regardless of the many arguments against it. The number of corporate scandals or company failures justifies an evaluation of the effectiveness of such regulation and a re-thinking of the concept of auditor rotation. Revisiting the arguments against and in favour of mandatory auditor rotation confirms the rational arguments against mandatory auditor rotation. These arguments are opposed to the main reason for its implementation – namely, that rotation will serve as a publicly acceptable band-aid on damaged investor confidence. Overshadowed by corporate scandals, regulators face constant pressure to enhance auditors’ independence and to amend and improve regulations. To inform the South African stance, developments regarding auditor rotation in Germany and Australia are examined. An assessment of the significance of mandatory auditor rotation in the current corporate-law environment reveals that Steinhoff (Steinhoff International Holdings N.V.) failed in 2018, despite the fact that auditor-rotation legislation was in place. This supports arguments against auditor rotation and suggests that South Africa too hastily followed international trends. Mandatory auditor rotation regulations in South Africa also discourage potential candidates from entering the auditing work environment. It is submitted that the current provisions do not contribute effectively to auditor independence and are merely desperate attempts to curb the public’s lack of confidence in the auditing profession. Section 92 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, dealing with mandatory auditor rotation, should therefore be repealed.

Do audit attributes impact earnings quality? Evidence from India

PurposeThe present study's goal is to analyze the impact of audit quality (AQ) on earnings quality (EQ) using different audit attributes. The study shows empirical evidence from India, considered an emerging market.Design/methodology/approachThe sample selected represents the 376 non-financial firms listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). With a 20-year time frame, the authors used the absolute value of discretionary accruals (McNichols, 2002) (DA) as a proxy for EM, which is inversely related to EQ. The authors analyzed data using OLS, fixed effect (FE), 2SLS and Panel-IV estimators.FindingsThe authors found that most audit attributes positively affect EQ. In the Indian context, joint auditor (JA), auditor size (A_SIZE), auditor fee (A_FEE) and auditor tenure (A_TENURE) have a negative association with EM indicating high EQ. In contrast, auditor rotation (A_ROTATON) positively affects EM confirming low EQ.Research limitations/implicationsThe present study uses Big-4 and its member firms as a proxy of auditor size (A_SIZE); instead, other bases may be taken for it, like the dominant audit firms in a particular industry in sample data, etc. The authors have started audit tenure from the base year, i.e. 2001, which may ignore the association of auditor and auditee just before 2001.Practical implicationsThe study findings would enhance policymakers' willingness to prepare appropriate regulations regarding JAs and auditor rotation, which might improve financial market efficiency and reduce financial fraud among Indian corporates.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to incorporate “Joint Auditor” (JA) as a proxy for audit quality in the Indian context, which might significantly contribute to the literature.

Is earnings management impacted by audit fees and auditor tenure? An analysis of the Big Four audit firms in the US market

Research background: Audits are intended to ensure the reliability of financial statements, as this is fundamental for different stakeholders. However, both auditor tenure and audit fees could affect the earnings management of companies. In 2014, the European Union established a mandatory audit firm rotation policy. In the United States, although there is still no mandatory regulation in this regard, there has been a large public debate over the advisability of this policy. Another unresolved controversy is whether audit fees determine audit quality. Purpose of the article: The aim of this research is to study the effect of auditor tenure and audit fees on earnings management, i.e., to determine whether a longer-term relationship between the auditor and the audited company, as well as higher audit fees, reduce the audited company's earnings management, thereby making the financial statements more reliable for stakeholders and increasing the quality of the audit report. In addition, the Big Four auditing companies in the United States were analyzed in order to determine the influence of corporate culture. Methods: A sample of companies listed in the S&P 500 stock market index was employed for the analysis, covering the years 2012 to 2021, resulting in a dataset comprising 3,010 observations. To examine the research hypotheses while mitigating the potential bias from omitted variables, a linear regression analysis was conducted using panel data with fixed effects regression. To enhance the robustness of the results, winsorized variables were also employed. Findings & value added: Overall, the results confirm that the quality of financial statements improves as auditor tenure increases, and so implementing a mandatory auditor rotation may not be in a company’s best interests. The results also support the market segmentation theory, as higher audit fees are aligned with higher quality financial reporting. Furthermore, by analyzing the Big Four audit companies in the US, it is shown that the influence of audit fees and auditor tenure on earnings management also depends on the internal aspects of the particular audit firm, especially its ethical culture. In sum, US policymakers should neither set limits on audit fees nor enforce a mandatory audit firm rotation similar to that of the EU.

The results showed that auditor independence and audit report lag had a positive effect, and audit tenure and gender diversity harmed fraud detection. Additionally, auditor rotation, auditor industry specialization, and audit firm size also had not. The auditor’s independence and adequate audit period would allow the auditor to be more effective in fraud detection.

Mandatory auditor rotation and audit quality

PurposeIn the post-Enron era around the world, the role of auditor is widely debated. There is an increasing concern that an auditor’s continuous involvement with clients could impair audit quality – the negative view. There is also a positive view that a long auditor tenure leads to accumulation of client-specific knowledge over time, which could lead to high-quality audits. The empirical result with regards to impact of mandatory auditor rotation (MAR) is mixed world-wide. This study aims to examine whether MAR rules implemented in 2017 impact audit quality in India.Design/methodology/approachUsing a unique setting in which MAR was required from 2017 to 2018 onwards in India, this study provides empirical evidence of the impact of MAR regulation on audit quality (modified audit opinion). The study uses data for 714 firms (4,284 firms) for six years (three years before MAR and three years after MAR regulation in India).FindingsThe study found that auditor tenure and MAR had significant negative impacts on audit quality, validating the “positive” view of audit tenure and audit quality. In addition, concentrated ownership had a negative impact on audit quality, implying the control and influence by concentrated ownership on auditors and audit opinion. The analysis shows that MAR regulation has not yielded the intended objective of improving audit quality in India. MAR is not a good template for improving audit quality.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of the study are useful to policymakers, regulators, managers, investors and users of financial reports. The study calls for public policy on auditor rotation based on objective scientific evidence. In light of the evidence in India that MAR does not lead to better audit quality, the study calls for reset of regulatory policy in India.Practical implicationsThe study provides valuable insights to analysts, regulators and other users of financial accounts about the implications of MAR in India.Originality/valueThe study is one of the few to report on the impact of MAR, particularly in the context of an emerging market economy such as India.
