초록

본 연구의 목적은 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견의 개진과 관련된 선행 연구성과를 고찰하고 향후 바람직한 연구방향을 제시하는 것이다. 피감사회사의 계속기업존속 능력에 관한 외부감사인의 판단과 보고에 대한 규제 담당자, 기준 제정자 그리고 투자자들의 관심은 2008년 글로벌 금융위기를 계기로 증폭된 바 있다. 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견과 관련된 선행연구들을 종합해 보면 대략 3가지 방향으로 나눌 수 있다. 첫째는 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견 형성에 영향을 미친 요인에 관한 연구이다. 이 영향요인에는 피감사회사 자체 요인, 감사인 요인, 환경적 요인이 있다. 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견의 개진에 가장 중요한 요인은 재무적 부실과 같은 피감사회사 자체 요인이다. 둘째는 감사의견의 정확성에 관한 연구이다. 감사의견이 기업의 후속 결과와 일치하지 않으면 감사오류가 발생하며, 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견과 관련된 감사오류는 두 가지이다. 현재까지의 연구 성과는 후에 기업존속이 어려워진 기업에 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견을 개진하지 않음으로서 투자자들에게 감사의견이 기업존속에 관한 사전 경보로서의 역할을 하지 못했다는 감사의견의 제2종 오류와 관련된 연구가 다수이다. 그러나 후에 존속하는 회사에 대하여 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견을 개진한 경우와 같은 감사의견의 제1종 오류와 관련된 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 셋째는 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견에 대한 시장반응이다. 현재까지의 연구성과는 감사인은 투자자가 접근할 수 없는 정보를 분석하여 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견을 개진하므로 이는 신정보로서의 가치가 있으며, 공표시점에서는 (-)의 초과수익률 반응을 가져온다는 것을 실증한 연구가 다수이다. 따라서 향후 연구과제는 시점을 달리하여 계속기업존속 불확실성 감사의견 공표에 대한 시장반응을 비교하는 것이다.

Abstract

In this study we examine previous research on the going-concern modified audit opinions. And we suggest promising research subject about the going-concern modified audit opinions. We classify previous research as three major areas. Firstly, we examine previous research identiyfing factors that have effect on the determination of going-concern audit opinion. These factors include audited company factors, auditor factors and audit-related environmental factors. Secondly, we examine previous research analyzing the accuracy of going-concern audit opinions. This analysis gives rise to two types of reporting misclassification that are type I misclassification and type Ⅱ misclassification. Previous research mostly deal with type Ⅱ misclassification that auditor issue going-concern audit opinion and audited company laterly bankrupt. Thirdly, we examine previous research analyzing market response to the issuance of going-concern modified audit opinions. Previous research generally report that stock market investors response nagatively to the issuance of going-concern audit opinions. In this study we propose that future study should examine non-financial information that maybe effect the determination of going-concern modified audit opinions. And we propose different research approaches that use interviews with senior executives and auditors on analytical procedures relating to the going-concern audit opinion decision.
