我们分析了个别审计合伙人对其客户财务报告中经审计的叙述性披露的影响程度。使用3,281,423私人和公共客户公司对的样本,我们发现,当两个客户公司共享同一个审计合作伙伴时,审计叙述性披露之间的相似性较高。具体而言,我们发现,管理报告(注释)的措辞相似度增加了30%(48%),内容相似度增加了29%(49%),结构相似度增加了48%(121%)。此外,我们发现,审计合作伙伴,特别是有关其客户的叙述性披露,因为增加叙述性披露相似性时,共享同一审计合作伙伴是九(四)倍,当共享同一审计公司(审计办公室)。我们发现,这种影响力的审计合作伙伴超越添加样板报表,并使用新的现场证据,我们揭示了潜在的机制。我们的研究结果具有经济相关性,因为审计合作伙伴更强地参与客户的叙述与更高质量的叙述披露相关,这有助于用户更好地预测客户公司的未来盈利能力。
We analyze the extent to which individual audit partners influence the audited narrative disclosures in their clients’ financial reports. Using a sample of 3,281,423 private and public client firm-pairs, we find that the similarity among audited narrative disclosures is higher when two client firms share the same audit partner. Specifically, we find that the wording similarity of management reports (notes) increases by 30 (48) percent, the content similarity by 29 (49) percent, and the structure similarity by 48 (121) percent. Moreover, we find that audit partners in particular are relevant for their clients’ narrative disclosures because the increase in narrative disclosure similarity when sharing the same audit partner is nine (four) times greater than when sharing the same audit firm (audit office). We show that this influence of audit partners goes beyond adding boilerplate statements and, using novel field evidence, we shed light on the underlying mechanisms. Our findings are economically relevant because a stronger involvement of audit partners with their clients’ narratives is associated with a higher quality of narrative disclosures, which helps users better predict the future profitability of client firms.
