초록

본 연구는 동일 감사인에 의한 비감사서비스의 제공이 회계정보의 유용성에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해, 감사인의 비감사서비스 제공여부와 비감사보수 수준에 따른 재량적 발생과 미래수익성의 관련성, 재량적 발생에 대한 자본시장의 반응 차이를 분석하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 비감사서비스를 제공받는 기업의 재량적 발생과 미래수익성(미래회계이익, 미래현금흐름)의 관련성은 체계적으로 낮게 나타났다. 또한 비감사보수 수준이 높을수록 자본시장 참여자는 재량적 발생을 보다 부정적으로 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이 시장참여자들은 비감사보수 수준이 높으면서, 감사인이 대형회계법인(Big5)에 속하거나 보고이익을 증가시키는 방향으로 발생을 재량적으로 이용하는 경우 재량적 발생을 보다 부정적으로 평가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 동일 감사인이 비감사서비스를 제공함에 따라 재량적 발생의 예측가치가 감소할 뿐더러, 외부투자자들이 재량적 발생에 경영자의 기회주의적 요소가 많이 포함된 것으로 추론하고 있음을 시사한다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과는 동일 감사인이 감사보수와 비감사보수를 동시에 받을 경우 감사대상기업과의 경제적 유대강화나 타협가능성이 증가하여 감사품질 및 회계정보의 유용성이 저하될 것이라는 규제기관의 우려와 일관된다.

Abstract

The regulator and capital market participants are concerned that an increasing amount of fees firms pay to their auditors for non-audit services may give auditors an economic incentive to compromise their independence, resulting in lower quality audit and thus lower quality earnings. This study examines the relation between non-audit services and informativeness of earnings components with a focus on discretionary accruals. Accruals allow managers to communicate their private and inside information and thereby improve the ability to reflect underlying economic value. However, managers could use accruals opportunistically that should seriously undermine the informativeness of reported earnings. This study examines whether there is a different linkage between non-audit service and pricing of discretionary accruals. Further, discretionary accruals of non-audit service clients have a different association with future profitability (future earnings and cash-flows). The findings indicate that the association between stock return (future profitability) and discretionary accruals is smaller for non-audit service clients. The findings remain robust in a number of sensitivity tests including the analyses controlling for the effect of firm characteristics, auditor types and sign of discretionary accruals. Overall, the results of this study support the recent concern of regulators about the possible impairment of auditor independence that would be triggered by the provision of non-audit services to the audit service clients.
