Abstract

Kohlbeck and Mayhew () create a new data set featuring two types of related party transactions. They use empirical†archival methods to investigate the effect of such transactions on the likelihood of restatements and on audit fees. Their findings suggest that related party transactions related to directors, officers and major shareholders are associated with poor “tone at the top†and that this leads management to negotiate for lower†quality audits to minimize monitoring costs. To offer avenues for future research, we focus our discussion on three aspects of their paper related to causality, definitions of variables, and generalizability to non†U.S. jurisdictions.Kohlbeck et Mayhew (2017) constituent un nouvel ensemble de données relatives à deux catégories d'opérations entre apparentés. Ils utilisent des méthodes empiriques d'archivage pour étudier l'incidence de ces opérations sur la probabilité de retraitements et sur les honoraires d'audit. Leurs constatations permettent de croire que les opérations entre apparentés liées aux administrateurs, aux dirigeants et aux principaux actionnaires sont associées à un ton inadéquat donné par la direction, et que cette situation amène la direction à négocier des audits de qualité inférieure afin de réduire au minimum les coûts de la surveillance. Dans le but de proposer des pistes de recherche future, les auteurs axent leur analyse sur trois aspects de l’étude, soit la causalité, la définition des variables et la possibilité d'en généraliser les conclusions à l'extérieur des États†Unis.
