Abstract:
The faith in financial reporting quality and the corresponding auditing process has suffered a lot within the last decade, due to significant accounting scandals (e.g. Enron, WorldCom, Parmalat, etc.). As an answer to these accounting scandals, the law-makers in Germany and the European Union, respectively, have strengthened audit regulations in order to improve the quality of the conducted audits. The aim of this cumulative dissertation is to provide empirical evidence on the effects of intended and already implemented regulative audit requirements in Germany. ln order to consider the wide ra

Abstract:
Poor audit quality has historically led to huge consequences for the society. A low audit quality is often related to a low auditor independence, which can be caused by the auditor's incentive to maximize personal gain. In attempts to strengthen the auditor independence and thereby the audit quality, several audit regulations have been issued, where the mandatory audit rotation has been the subject to intensive debate. Although the previous research on audit rotation and audit quality is extensive, few studies investigate the contingency aspects of the relationship more specifically firm visib

Abstract:
The accounting profession, particularly the public company auditing profession, has experienced a drastic transformation over the last decade. Following a series of costly accounting scandals that tarnished the profession’s credibility, Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) for more rigorous regulation of public companies and public accounting firms. The new policy changed audit interactions with clients and included a mandate for the periodic rotation of audit partners on audit engagements to increase auditor independence. Currently being debated are further changes that may le

Previous studies have concluded that mandatory audit firm rotation (MAFR) has not been successful in controlling the outcomes of the auditor-client relationship.
