以2007—2019年沪深A股上市公司为样本,采用会计师事务所被监管层处罚作为会计师事务所声誉损失的外生事件,考察了会计师事务所声誉损失对上市公司业绩预告质量的影响。研究发现,会计师事务所声誉损失后,上市公司业绩预告质量显著提升,这说明上市公司会通过提高业绩预告质量,以挽回会计师事务所声誉损失给其带来的负面影响。进一步研究发现,当公司内外部治理水平较高、对信息披露质量较重视以及会计师事务所声誉受损较严重时,会计师事务所声誉损失导致上市公司业绩预告质量的提升更为明显。本文的研究结论不仅丰富了业绩预告质量影响因素和会计师事务所声誉损失经济后果的相关文献,也为建立健全声誉评价机制、加强对中介机构的监管提供了政策依据。
