摘要
本文检验美国公众公司会计监督委员会(Public Accounting Oversight Board,PCAOB)的审计检查能否降低中概股危机中问题公司出现的概率,以及审计师声誉对这一关系是否具有调节作用。爆发于2010-2012年间的中概股危机大多数涉及的是通过反向并购(Reverse Merger,RM)在美国上市的中国公司。通过系统研究这些公司的财务和审计数据,我们发现对于反向并购公司来说PCAOB审计检查能显著降低问题公司出现的概率,且对声誉较低审计师的客户这一治理作用更强。与RM样本相比,由于IPO公司更多聘请四大会计师事务所以及四大的声誉作用,PCAOB审计检查并没有显著降低IPO样本中问题公司出现的概率。综上,我们发现,PCAOB审计检查可以降低公司舞弊的概率,但这种作用集中体现在非四大审计师样本中。本文的经验证据对跨国审计监管、深刻理解中概股危机的形成及相关政策的制定具有一定的启示意义。
