dc.description.abstract | This study examines the effect of audit risks in the Korean initial public offering (IPO) market on the designated auditors' decisions. The Korean External Audit Act requires firms to switch from incumbent to new auditors designated by the Securities and Futures Commission after the firm announces a future IPO. This study shows the effects of audit risks by examining if the quality of reported earnings and audit fees significantly differs between IPO-eligible and IPO-ineligible firms. Empirical tests first show that discretionary accruals are significantly lower for IPO-ineligible firms than for IPO-eligible firms in both the IPO designation period and the following review period. We interpret this result to mean that designated auditors evaluate the IPO-ineligible (and eventually failed) firms' listing possibility as low. Second, audit fees are higher for IPO-ineligible firms in the auditor designation period. This reflects the fact that designated auditors are exposed to future audit risks associated with firms' post-IPO financial market troubles if IPO-ineligible firms attempt to go public. Our study contributes to IPO-related research by showing the effects of auditors' risk evaluation on discretionary accruals and audit fees. This study also contributes to accounting policymaking regarding auditor independence. This study examines the effect of audit risks in the Korean IPO market on designated auditors' decision. This paper shows the effect of audit risks by examining if the quality of reported earnings and audit fees are significantly different between IPO-eligible and ineligible firms. | - |
