“…In India one study found that financial deepening has been more important than financial inclusion in reducing poverty via promoting entrepreneurship overall, and job creation in services in urban areas. Access to credit was found to help specifically the rural self-employed (Beck, 2013). The regressions show that access to credit is not an important constraint for female (or male) participation in India.…”

“…The financial crisis of 2008 after the collapse of Lehmann Brothers created an unstable economic environment and exposed various regulatory framework inefficiencies worldwide (Beck, 2013). This in turn led to a domino effect that allowed the exposure of public debt issues affecting several European Union and Eurozone members, simultaneously raising the risk of default.…”

This paper seeks to examine the effect that audit quality has on audit opinion expression in the context of the recessive Eurozone environment. Based on a sample consisting of all the European Monetary Union countries for a period of nine years (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013) our findings suggest that the size of the auditing firm and auditor's expertise in an industry continues to be a proxy for audit quality and impacts audit opinion during the recession. However, this finding does not persist for audit tenure. These findings provide evidence with respect to audit quality differentiation in a monetary union, with a common currency and accounting standards in the presence of an economic recession. It attempts to provide useful insights for auditors, accountants and regulators concerning the regulatory framework and the efficiency of various audit policy changes especially in periods of fiscal distress.

The development of efficient and sustainable long-term financial markets, however, depends on macroeconomic stability and an effective institutional framework. Policy initiatives, including tax policy, regulation and competition policies can also improve the availability of long-term finance within these more fundamental constraints. However, country characteristics including size and demographic structure also play an important role. When comparing the provision of long-term finance across countries, it is important to take into account both structural characteristics and long-term policy constraints. A scoreboard for long-term finance in Latin America is suggested with indicators comparing different dimensions of long-term finance. Specifically, the paper suggests several indicators of the depth and inclusiveness of long-term financial markets, to be benchmarked according to country characteristics, and several policy variables, to be included in a scoreboard for long-term finance in Latin America.
