The purpose of this study is to examine whether the corruption level of a country is associated with a firm’s decision to choose Big 4 versus non-Big 4 auditors. In addition, the authors examine whether firms that are cross-listed in a country with a corruption level different from that of the home country are more likely to appoint Big 4 auditors.,Based on a sample of 185,549 firm-year observations from 78 countries over 2003-2012, panel regression analysis is used to investigate the research questions.,The authors find a negative association between corruption and the propensity to hire Big 4 auditors and that cross-listed firms are more likely to hire Big 4 auditors than their domestic counterparts. Interestingly, the authors find that when firms cross-list in less corrupt countries relative to their home countries, firms are more likely to hire Big 4 auditors. However, this tendency disappears when firms cross-list in more corrupt countries.,The authors contribute to the audit choice literature by providing evidence that the political environment, as manifested in the corruption level of a country, plays a role in the decision to choose Big 4 versus non-Big 4 auditors. The study complements the prior auditor choice literature, which focuses mostly on single countries such as the USA, by expanding the scope to 78 countries. Furthermore, the authors enhance the understanding of how the absolute and relative performance of the political environment affects cross-listed firms’ choice of auditors.

腐败与审计师的选择:跨国调查

这项研究的目的是检验一个国家的腐败程度是否与公司选择四大审计师与非四大审计师的决定有关。此外,作者检查了在腐败程度不同于母国的国家中交叉上市的公司是否更有可能任命四大审计师。基于来自78个国家的185,549家公司年度观察的样本在2003-2012年间,使用面板回归分析法研究了研究问题。作者发现腐败与雇用四大审计师的倾向之间存在负相关关系,并且交叉上市的公司比其国内聘请四大审计师的可能性更大。同行。有趣的是,作者发现,当公司在腐败程度相对较低的国家/地区相对于本国/地区交叉上市时,公司更有可能聘请四大审计师。但是,当公司在更多腐败国家交叉上市时,这种趋势就消失了。作者通过提供证据证明一个国家的腐败水平所体现的政治环境在选择决策中起着作用,为审计选择文献做出了贡献。四大审计师与非四大审计师。该研究通过将范围扩大到78个国家,补充了以前的审计师选择文献,后者主要关注单个国家,例如美国。此外,作者进一步了解了政治环境的绝对和相对绩效如何影响交叉上市公司对审计师的选择。作者通过提供证据证明一个国家的腐败水平所体现的政治环境在决定选择四大还是四大审计师中发挥了作用,为审计选择文献做出了贡献。该研究通过将范围扩大到78个国家,对以前的审计师选择文献进行了补充,该文献主要关注单个国家,例如美国。此外,作者进一步了解了政治环境的绝对和相对绩效如何影响交叉上市公司对审计师的选择。作者通过提供证据证明一个国家的腐败水平所体现的政治环境在决定选择四大还是四大审计师中发挥了作用,为审计选择文献做出了贡献。该研究通过将范围扩大到78个国家,补充了以前的审计师选择文献,后者主要关注单个国家,例如美国。此外,作者进一步了解了政治环境的绝对和相对绩效如何影响交叉上市公司对审计师的选择。将范围扩大到78个国家。此外,作者进一步了解了政治环境的绝对和相对绩效如何影响交叉上市公司对审计师的选择。将范围扩大到78个国家。此外,作者进一步了解了政治环境的绝对和相对绩效如何影响交叉上市公司对审计师的选择。
