Abstract

Prior studies document that managerial overconfidence potentially increases the risk of financial misstatements, and that overconfident managers purchase lower quality audits and pay lower audit fees. As a part of the research that evaluates the information value of managerial characteristics to auditors, our study examines how the relationship between managerial overconfidence and audit fees is impacted by managerial ability, and board and audit committee effectiveness in the post-Sarbanes–Oxley (post-SOX) environment. In general, we find a significantly positive relationship between managerial overconfidence and audit fees consistent with the supply-side risk based perspective of audit pricing. However, this relationship is significantly attenuated in higher managerial ability firms where overconfident managers are better able to make proper accounting estimates and judgements required for producing reliable financial statements, and synthesize firm-specific information into appropriate forward looking projections. We find that on an average, the overconfident firms with higher managerial ability pay 6.3% lower audit fees than the overconfident firms with lower managerial ability. Our analyses further show that board characteristics positively impact the relationship between managerial overconfidence and audit fees, suggesting that stronger board monitoring increases the demand for higher quality audits to mitigate the reporting risk of the overconfident firms. On an average, the firms with managerial overconfidence pay additional 9.3% higher audit fees when they are subject to stronger and more effective board oversight. However, we find weaker evidence on the effect of audit committee characteristics on audit fees of the overconfident firms. Our primary results hold for a battery of supplemental tests including the tests using propensity-score matched sample. The study contributes to audit fee and corporate governance literature, and has useful implications for regulators, accounting practitioners, and auditors.

Fußnoten
1
Prior studies indicate that characteristics of senior managers are often evaluated in client screening, acceptance and audit planning decisions (Kiziria et al. 2005; Johnson et al. 2013; Krishnan and Wang 2015). Kiziria et al. (2005) even suggest that without management integrity or ‘tone at the top’, the most proficient internal controls may not be effective in reducing financial misstatements. In a quasi-experimental setting, Johnson et al. (2013) find that narcissistic client behavior and fraud motivation are positively related to auditors’ fraud risk assessments.

More able managers are expected to be more knowledgeable about the firm and the industry, and are better able to synthesize information into forward-looking estimates with which to report higher quality earnings (Demerjian et al. 2013; Libby and Luft 1993).

Simunic and Stein (1996) suggest that total audit costs include a “resource cost and an expected liability loss component.” Resource cost increases with an increase in audit effort to minimize audit risk, and the proportion of liability loss component (ex-ante risk premium) increases with an increase in probable ex-post litigation loss liability (i.e., increased business risk). Auditors respond to higher audit and business risk by increasing audit investment and by charging higher risk premium. Reynolds and Francis (2001) suggest that reputation protection and litigation risk dominate auditor’s reporting behavior. Wang et al. (2013) further argue that an indication of client’s inability to file reliable information on a timely basis constitutes a risk factor inducing auditor to make upward fee adjustments.

Biddle et al. (2009) demonstrate that the firms with higher reporting quality tend to deviate less from predicted investment levels. The higher reporting quality is associated with both lower under and over-investments. Therefore, the over-investment, which is viewed as a product of more aggressive and over-confident managerial decision, is more likely be associated with lower reporting quality.

MA-scores are obtained from https://​community.​bus.​emory.​edu/​personal/​PDEMERJ/​Pages/​Home.​aspx. Demerjian et al. (2012) used a two-step process to estimate managerial ability. First, they employ data envelopment analysis to estimate overall firm efficiency. Second, they estimate managerial ability from firm efficiency measure by industry by regressing firm efficiency on six firm characteristics such as firm size, firm’s market share, free cash flows, firm age, business segment concentration, and foreign operations. The residuals from the regressions are the managerial ability scores. For detailed discussion of the process, please refer to Demerjian et al. (2012, 2013) and Krishnan and Wang (2015).

We restrict the sample period up to 2011 because of non-availability of managerial ability data beyond 2011 at the site: https://​community.​bus.​emory.​edu/​personal/​PDEMERJ/​Pages/​Home.​aspx.

This risk-based explanation is also consistent with the fact that, on an average, 81% of our total observations are subject to high-quality Big 4 audits. Large Big 4 auditors with national and international clientele are deemed to have higher reputational capital to preserve. So, when they deal with overconfident clients and associated reporting risk that may result from overconfident managerial actions, they are likely to incorporate the higher risk of audit failure in their audit pricing decisions. As a result, they increase their engagement efforts (with more professional staff and more audit hours) to mitigate the risk at an acceptable level and/or add a risk premium in their quoted fees to cover any ex-post litigation loss liability, the effect of which is reflected in higher audit fees.

The dependent variable, LAFEE is a log-transformed variable. So, the effect of ABILITY on audit fees and overconfidence is given by e− 0.070 = 0.933 for CAPEX, e− 0.065 = 0.937 for Over-Invest and e− 0.062 = 0.940 for Holder67. This translates into 6.7, 6.3 and 6.0% respectively lower fees for the higher managerial ability, overconfident firms relative to the lower managerial ability, overconfident firms.
 
10
The dependent variable, LAFEE is a log-transformed variable. So, the effect of BD_GSCORE on audit fees and overconfidence is given by e0.096 = 1.101 for CAPEX, e0.088 = 1.092 for Over-Invest and e0.083 = 1.086 for Holder 67. This translates into 10.1, 9.2 and 8.6% high audit fees for the higher board governance, overconfident firms relative to the lower board governance, overconfident firms.
 
11
The results complement prior studies (Schrand and Zechman 2012; Ahmed and Duellman 2013) that do not find significant governance effect on managerial overconfidence. Our findings suggest that corporate boards seek higher-quality audits from incumbent auditors to monitor financial reporting process and minimize reporting risks that are potentially associated with overconfident managerial action.

Our results are consistent with Carcello et al. (2002) where they find positive association between board variables and audit fees. But in their analyses, audit committee variables are insignificant in presence of board variables. Even, Abbott et al. (2003) find limited results for audit committee characteristics in their audit fee study; for example, they find highly significant effect of AC independence, weakly significant effect of AC expertise and insignificant effect of AC meeting in presence of board variables in analyses, where two of the three board variables, namely, board independence and board diligence are positively significant. The reason for relatively weaker results for audit committee variables is the likely increase of audit committee independence and expertise among most US corporations under the enhanced regulatory focus of SEC on audit committee effectiveness. Increased regulatory focus on audit committee strengthens the motivation and effectiveness of audit committees in performing their oversight role in financial reporting and accounting compliance process, resulting in reduction of cross-sectional variation of its quality across firms. The reduced variability across observations partly explains insignificant audit committee effect on audit fees. Please refer to the descriptive data in Table 3, Panel A which reports the standard deviation of BD_GSCORE as 1.719 and that of AC_GSCORE as 0.784.

Several variables used in the regression analyses are significantly correlated to each other. Our regression diagnostics, however, show that the variance inflation factors (VIF) and condition indices do not provide any evidence that multicollinearity is a problem. Chatterjee and Hadi (2012) indicate that the VIF in excess of 10 is an indication that collinearity may be causing problems in estimation. Belsley et al. (1980) suggest that a condition index greater than 15 indicates a possible problem and an index in excess of 30 suggests a serious multicollinearity problem among the explanatory variables in the regression. In this respect, the regression models employed in this study are well specified. The influence statistics, DEFFITS and Cook’s D, do not indicate the presence of any influential data-points that might bias the results of the study. Finally, the normal probability plots indicate that errors are normally distributed; the residual plots do not exhibit any systematic pattern of error distribution; and our auto-correlation tests indicate that errors are uncorrelated with each other.
