Who Really Performs the Audit? Examining the Effects of Voluntary Disclosure of the Use of Other Auditors on Investors' Perceptions of Audit Quality

Abstract: SUMMARY Under Rule 29, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) requires principal auditors to disclose the extent of use of other auditors on an audit engagement. This mandatory disclosure occurs on Form AP, available on the PCAOB's website. Principal auditors may voluntarily disclose this same information in an appendix to the audit report. We experimentally examine how the joint effects of the principal auditor's extent of use of other auditors and their use of voluntary disclosure influence i… Show more

“…The US PCAOB deliberated over whether to require disclosure of component auditors outside or as part of the auditor's report, ultimately deciding on disclosure in Form AP, but permitting audit firms to voluntarily report this information in an appendix to the auditor's report (PCAOB, 2015). In stakeholder engagement, investors expressed a preference for the information to be included in the auditor's report (PCAOB, 2015), and research examining the interplay between mandatory reporting and additional voluntary disclosure highlights that voluntary disclosure can reduce negative perceptions of audit quality when component auditors are used (Demek et al, 2020).…”

“…While disclosing component auditor use could unintentionally reduce audit quality as auditors feel less accountable, research in the US on lead auditor decisions to accept or decline responsibility for component auditor work finds no evidence that audit quality falls when the lead auditor declines responsibility (Mao et al, 2020). Responding to concerns of the PCAOB that disclosing component auditor use may increase liability of the lead auditor, Demek et al (2020) find that voluntary disclosure of component auditor use in the auditor's report does not increase investor perceptions of blame and liability to the group auditor following a restatement.…”

“…Similarly, Dee, Lulseged, and Zhang (2015) also inferred that audit quality was decreasing when component auditors were involved in group audits in the United States. Demek, Kaplan, and Winn (2020) conducted experiments examining the joint effect of using other auditors. The results show that investors perceive that audit quality is very low when the group auditor uses the work of other auditors.…”
