讲座主要内容:

This paper examines how the Big 4 firms in China responded to a 2012 regulation by the Chinese Ministry of Finance that required 80 percent of these firms’ engagement partners to hold a local certified public accountant license by 2017. Notably, this requirement did not apply to other local firms’ engagement partners. We analyze several outcomes of the regulation at the partner and client levels over a 14-year period around 2012. First, we show that the Big 4 restructured their partnerships and promoted local talent to junior roles under the two-signer system for audit reports. Next, there is no systematic evidence of decreased audit quality for the Big 4 or externalities for other local firms. However, the Big 4 accepted new clients with different characteristics and charged lower audit fees after 2012. Overall, this study sheds light on the Big 4 firms’ responses to regulation and human capital allocation dynamics, as well as their implications for audit quality and pricing in China.
