Abstract

This article aims to examine the audit quality of 81 French companies listed between 2009 and 2011 by focusing on goodwill, by a direct measure consisting in analyzing the relevance of the JDA and by an indirect measure, examining whether the JDA is accompanied by an improvement in the quality of financial information. The auditors almost systematically evoke goodwill and produce a significant number of diligences in the matter, especially as the weight of goodwill is high and companies are underperforming. Nevertheless, while the quality of the JDA relating to goodwill is associated overall with a better quality of financial communication on the goodwill impairment tests, the procedures mentioned in these JDAs are not different from the other JDAs.
