- W2240969616 abstract "As audit quality is paramount in returning the profession to the “priesthood” in the wake of accounting scandals such as Enron and bank failures, perhaps the most important question with respect to industry specialization is whether or not industry specialists provide truly superior quality audits. Research in industry specialization by auditors has focused to date primarily on addressing this question; the pricing of audits by specialists is a related issue also examined in a number of studies. Research suggests that specialists are associated with higher earnings quality for their auditees, whether due to intervention in the reporting process, or because management anticipates such intervention and constrains opportunistic earnings management. The role of industry specialization in audit pricing has been frequently addressed in the literature, and yet remains largely unresolved. Some studies present evidence of specialist premiums, while others find no premiums or premiums only for certain subsets of clients. In its 2003 report, the GAO expressed some concern that auditor choice was limited for large national and multinational companies requiring industry-specific expertise, noting that an auditor who audits a number of smaller companies within an industry may not have the necessary expertise to handle the larger clients in that industry. Most researchers, however, find little evidence of adverse impacts such as oligopolistic pricing as a result of the increased audit market concentration resulting from the audit firm mergers and demise of Arthur Andersen. Industry specialization, if pursued as a means of enhancing the knowledge and understanding necessary to conduct superior audits, should result in benefits to both client and auditor. Industry specialists may be able to provide higher levels of assurance because they are more likely to assess risks, and to detect financial reporting errors and irregularities, and are thus equipped to deliver better planned and more effective audits." @default.
