After several major financial scandals, mandatory auditor rotation was raised as a measure to improve the auditor independence. For regulators who are to set mandatory rotation limit need detailed information about the turning points of the inverted U-shaped relationship between audit quality and auditor tenure, such as the statistical implication of a representative turning point of audit quality obtained by OLS estimation based on quadratic model or even the entire distribution of the sample firm-auditors' turning points. These two problems remain unsolved. This paper derived the statistical implication of the representative turning point of audit quality obtained by OLS estimation based on quadratic model. This paper also proposed an estimation method based on survival analysis to estimate the entire distribution curve for the turning points of all the sample firm-auditors in the form of their cumulative probability curve. Mote Carlo simulation was used to the performance of various estimation methods, such as accuracy, robustness, and information usefulness.

We argue that the association between auditor industry specialization and audit quality depends on how long the auditor has been a specialist. We measure audit quality using absolute discretionary accruals, income-increasing discretionary accruals, and book-tax differences. Our results, based on a sample of Big 4 audit clients from 2003-2015, indicate that auditors who have only recently gained the specialist designation produce a level of audit quality that does not surpass that produced by non-specialist auditors, and is generally lower than the audit quality produced by seasoned specialists. We estimate that the seasoning process takes two to three years. In contrast to prior research that finds no effect of specialization after propensity score matching, we find that seasoned specialists generally produce higher quality audits than other auditors even after matching. This suggests that the audit quality effect associated with seasoned industry specialist auditors is not due to differences in client characteristics.

We investigate whether the relation between auditor tenure and audit quality is conditional on auditor specialization and fee dependence. Although prior studies have investigated the relation between extended auditor-client tenure and audit quality, none has examined how this relation is jointly influenced by both auditor specialization and fee dependence. Our main analyses, using accrual quality as a measure of audit quality, show that firms audited by specialists (vs. non-specialists) have relatively higher audit quality with extended auditor tenure, and that this relation is negatively moderated by auditors' fee dependence on clients. These results are robust to sensitivity tests, and alternative proxies for audit quality such as the issuance of going concern opinions and the market's response to quarterly earnings surprises.

The overall purpose of this licentiate dissertation is to advance our understanding of the auditor by creating a concept of the auditor through focusing on auditors' own perceptions and understandings of their work in relation to boundary-setting forces. The audit profession, the audit firm, the client, society, regulations, and the market are all boundary-setting forces that influence the work of auditors and how auditors perceive and understand their work. The concept of the auditor consists of who the auditor is and what the auditor does; this concept is shaped interactively by the boundary-setting forces, that exist in the auditors’ environment and by the auditors themselves, through the view auditors have of themselves and their environment. The boundary-setting forces have in recent decades undergone significant and rapid changes; for example, increased commercialization as well as significant regulatory changes, which are expected to have influenced the concept of the auditor. The concept of the auditor therefor needs to be explored to understand who today’s auditor is and what today's auditor does. This licentiate dissertation consists of three appended papers and a comprehensive summary. The appended papers constitute the basis for discussing who the auditor is and what the auditor does, thereby contributing to the concept of the auditor. This dissertation uses boundaries in exploring the concept of the auditor, since it is when the auditor encounters the boundaries of being an auditor that the auditor’s conception of an auditor becomes clear. This dissertation has a mixed-methods design based on survey and interview data. The results of this dissertation show that there are several characteristics that define who the auditor is. The auditor: is highly driven by professional valuesis less driven by business valuesis genuinely interested in auditor workis resistant to stress, heavy workload, and work–life balance issuesis admiring the audit profession and perceiving it as highly professionalis perceiving professional values in adding value to the client, i.e., in the business activitiesis enjoying adding value to the clientis more motivated by contributing to the client than to societyhas high social skills and broad knowledge The results of this dissertation also show that the work of the auditor in the "grey area" between auditing and consulting comprises several activities. The auditor: adds value to the client by being available and engaged, by providing mental support and family mediation, by informing and discussing, by giving tips, advice, and suggestions, by explaining, answering questions, raising questions, and questioning, and by customizing, operating, developing, and contributing expertise to the clientconducts a wide range of services, also related to the private and personal matters of the clienthas counselling, pedagogical, coaching and/or developmental roles Det övergripande syftet med denna licentiatavhandling är att främja vår förståelse för revisorn genom att skapa ett begrepp för revisorn baserat på revisorers egna uppfattningar och förståelser av deras arbete i förhållande till gränssättande krafter. Revisorsprofessionen, revisionsbyrån, klienten, samhället, regleringar och marknaden är alla gränssättande krafter som påverkar revisorers arbete och hur revisorer uppfattar och förstår sitt arbete. Revisorsbegreppet består av vem revisorn är och vad revisorn gör, och formas interaktivt av de gränssättande krafter som finns i revisorernas omgivning och av revisorer själva genom deras syn på sig själva och sin omgivning. De gränssättande krafterna har under de senaste decennierna genomgått betydande och snabba förändringar, med till exempel ökad kommersialisering samt betydande regleringsändringar, vilket förväntas ha påverkat revisorsbegreppet. Således måste begreppet för revisorn utforskas för att förstå vem dagens revisor är och vad dagens revisor gör. Denna licentiatavhandling består av tre artiklar och en kappa. De bifogade artiklarna utgör grunden för diskussionen om vem revisorn är och vad revisorn gör, och bidrar därmed till begreppet för revisorn. Denna avhandling använder gränser för att utforska revisorsbegreppet, eftersom det är när revisorn möter gränsen för att vara revisor, som revisorns uppfattning om en revisor blir tydlig. En design med blandad metod används och det empiriska materialet består av enkät- och intervjudata. Resultaten av denna avhandling visar att det finns flera faktorer som definierar vem revisorn är. Revisorn: är starkt driven av professionella värdenär mindre driven av affärsvärdenär genuint intresserad av arbetet som revisorär motståndskraftig mot stress, arbetsbelastning och obalans mellan arbete och privatlivbeundrar professionen och uppfattar revisionsyrket som mycket professionelltser professionella värden i att skapa mervärde till klientertycker om att skapa mervärde till klientenär mer motiverad av att bidra till klienten än samhällethar höga sociala färdigheter och bred kunskap Resultaten av denna avhandling visar också att revisorns arbete i den gråa zonen mellan revision och konsultation omfattar flera aktiviteter. Revisorn: tillför mervärde för klienten genom att vara tillgänglig, engagerad, ett mentalt stöd och en familjemedlare och genom att informera, diskutera, ge tips, råd och förslag, förklara, svara på frågor, ställa frågor och ifrågasätta, klientanpassa, agera, utveckla, och bidra med expertis till kunden.bedriver ett brett utbud av tjänster, även relaterade till klientens privata och personliga frågor.kan ha en terapeutisk, pedagogisk, coachande och/eller utvecklande roll

Using the timeliness of misstatement discovery as a proxy for audit quality, we examine the association between audit firm tenure and audit quality in a setting that alleviates the endogeneity problem endemic to this line of research. We find that longer audit firm tenure leads to less timely discovery and correction of misstatements, which is consistent with a negative effect of long auditor tenure on audit quality. In addition, using the non-voluntary auditor change following the demise of Arthur Andersen in 2002 as a natural experiment, we show that the misstatements of its former clients were discovered faster than those of comparable companies that retained their auditors throughout the misstatement. This finding speaks to the benefit of a fresh look by a new auditor. An extended analysis shows that longer auditor tenure also leads to misstatements of greater magnitudes, and that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has mitigated, but not eliminated, the negative effect of long auditor tenure. Lastly, we show that the negative association between auditor tenure and timely discovery of misstatements is mainly present in the first ten years of an audit engagement. Our study has implications for regulators who continue to express concern regarding lengthy auditor-client engagement.

Audit Regulations, Audit Market Structure, and Financial Reporting Quality provides a structured overview of the empirical and analytical literature on the effects of audit market regulations. After a short introduction, the monograph is organized as follows. Chapter II addresses the structure of the audit markets of industrialized countries. First presenting an overview of the concentration metrics used to describe the structure of an audit market or a market segment, then providing the empirical findings on audit market concentration at the national level and presenting an overview of the main reasons that led to the currently high degree of concentration. Chapter III summarizes the reasons why regulators worldwide consider a high degree of concentration to be a concern. In particular, it reviews the regulator's assumption that a high degree of concentration inevitably leads to a low degree of competition and to the corresponding effects of low audit quality and high audit fees. It also provides an overview of the empirical findings on the association between concentration and audit quality and fees, respectively. Chapter IV introduces the mandatory audit firm rotation, the prohibition on the joint supply of audit and non-audit services, and joint audits as examples for regulations that are likely to have both incentive and market structure effects. Chapter V summarizes the empirical findings on the effects of these regulations on audit quality and market structure. Chapter VI summarizes models that regard the market structure as given. The results from these models show that the effects of regulations are not straightforward, but depend on various factors related to the auditor, the client, and the legal environment. Chapter VII gives an overview of analytical research that simultaneously considers incentive effects and market structure effects. It also provides a brief overview of industrial organization models that seem suitable to expand the models applied to investigate the effects of audit regulations. Chapter VIII concludes and highlights avenues for future research.
