Resumo |
An important change in auditors’ reporting behaviour in the period after the high-profile corporate collapses in 2001 is that auditors were more likely to issue going-concern (GC)-modified audit opinions. Comparing company failure rates subsequent to receiving a first-time going-concern (FTGC)-modified audit opinion in the pre- and post-2001 periods, we find a consistent type 1 error (misclassification) rate (the rate of survival among companies issued an FTGC opinion). Results are indicative of auditors maintaining GC reporting accuracy when comparing the 1995–1996 and 2004–2005 periods. This conclusion is supported after considering the impact of mitigating circumstances surrounding companies that received an FTGC-modified audit report and survived. |
