Auditors often face situations in which acting on their professional obligations comes with potential personal costs. Drawing upon the Theory of Reputation in Organizations, we predict that perceived costs associated with these actions are lower for auditors with positive reputations, which in turn influences their actions. In our first experiment, participants perceive that auditors with negative reputations face a more constrained choice set when anticipating a budget overage. Further, participants perceive that those with positive reputations are more likely to proactively report the overage and less likely to underreport hours worked, a result mediated by the anticipated impact on evaluations for "speaking up." In a second experiment, we manipulate reputation in a live simulation and demonstrate a causal link between reputation and auditors' skeptical action. Taken together, our experiments provide evidence that an auditor's perceived reputation influences their choice to engage in audit quality enhancing behaviors.

ABSTRACT This study examines the influence of audit tenure and auditor reputation on audit quality with operational complexity as a moderating variable. The Enron case involving Arthur Andersen led to the limitation of the audit tenure. Audit quality is measured by current accrual while audit lag is measured by calculating the year in which the same auditor has committed to the auditee, the auditor’s reputation is measured by the peer group amount and the operating complexity is measured using the number of subsidiaries. This study focused on manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2011 to 2015, using purposive sampling method obtained 225 research samples. Hypothesis testing in this study using multiple regression analysis. Test results show that audit tenure does not affect audit quality, auditor reputation does not affect audit quality while operating complexity affects on tenure audit relationship with audit quality and auditor reputation with audit quality.

ABSTRACT We study events surrounding ChuoAoyama's failed audit of Kanebo, a large Japanese cosmetics company whose management engaged in a massive accounting fraud. ChuoAoyama was PwC's Japanese affiliate and one of Japan's largest audit firms. In May 2006, the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) suspended ChuoAoyama for two months for its role in the Kanebo fraud. This unprecedented action followed a series of events that seriously damaged ChuoAoyama's reputation. We use these events to provide evidence on the importance of auditors' reputation for quality in a setting where litigation plays essentially no role. Around one quarter of ChuoAoyama's clients defected from the firm after its suspension, consistent with the importance of reputation. Larger firms and those with greater growth options were more likely to leave, also consistent with the reputation argument. Data Availability: All data in the paper are publicly available from the sources described in the text.
