摘要
媒体监督在公司治理中的作用已引起了广泛的关注,然而关于媒体监督对审计师行为的影响这一论题的研究还不多见。以2001年到2009年中国A股上市公司为样本,首次对媒体监督是否影响以及如何影响审计师的意见决策进行实证考察。结果发现,媒体对上市公司负面报道越多,审计师对其发表非标准审计意见的概率越大;国际"四大"会计师事务所的声誉机制并不能加强这一结论;当年财经媒体对上市公司负面报道越多,审计师改善次年审计意见类型的概率越高。这说明媒体监督起到了审计治理的作用。
The role of media monitoring in the corporate governance has gained a wide attention.However,there was little research on the effect of media in the auditing field.This paper examined whether and how media monitoring affects the independent auditor's decision by selecting a sample negatively reported by media from 2001 to 2009.The investigation found that the auditors increase the propensity to issue non-standard unqualified auditing opinion for the company which has been subject to negative press coverage,Mechanism of the international 'Big Four' accounting firms' reputation does not strengthen this conclusion;The more negative reports of the financial media on the listed companies in the current year,probably auditors more improve audit opinion type next year.
