【6月17日】【会计学院学术论坛】CEO Political Ideology and Audit Pricing
发布日期：2016-06-15讲座人：Hong Xie Associate Professor
讲座主题：CEO Political Ideology and Audit Pricing
摘要：We examine the effect of a CEO’s political ideology on audit fees of the firm that the CEO manages. We find that firms run by CEOs whose political ideologies lean toward the Republican Party pay lower audit fees than firms run by CEOs whose political ideologies lean toward the Democratic Party. This finding is robust to various sensitivity checks and to controls for potential endogeneity concerns. In addition, we identify financial reporting quality and client business risk as two possible channels through which CEO political ideology affects audit fees, and show that CEO political ideology has a residual effect on audit fees even after controlling for these two channel variables. Finally, we find that the association between CEO political ideology and audit fees is more pronounced when external monitoring on CEOs is weaker.
