Purpose – The purpose of this research is to determine whether the type of tax services provided by a public accounting firm to its audit client and the consequence severity of an audit failure impact jurors' assessment of audit quality and auditor liability. Design/methodology/approach – The authors administer a court case to 168 jurors manipulating three levels of tax services provided to an audit client (none, tax preparation, and aggressive tax planning services); two levels of consequence severity of the alleged audit failure, observing the impact on jurors' assessment of audit quality, auditor responsibility for audit failure; and damages awarded the plaintiff. Findings – Consistent with recent US regulations, jurors perceive the quality of the audit to be lower when auditors provide aggressive tax planning services, but not for tax preparation services. Damages are greater when auditors provide aggressive tax planning services across both levels of consequence severity. Research limitations/implications – The results indicate that the type of tax services provided may impact jurors' views of audit quality and damage assessments against auditors. The questionnaire uses previously validated measures, but the results may not be generalizable to jurors in all jurisdictions. Practical implications – Though empirical evidence is mixed at best about the impact of auditors providing non-audit services on auditor independence in fact, auditor independence in appearance, and thus audit quality, such impacts may affect the way jurors perceive the situation. Originality/value – The study directly tests the implications for auditor liability of new restrictions on tax services and more accurately measures the impact of consequence severity, using actual jurors.

This paper investigates the associations of auditor-provided tax services (APTS) with tax planning and audit quality using a German sample. Our findings differ from those of previous U.S. studies, which we attribute to the fact that prior to 2015, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) did not contain a clear regulation similar to FIN 48, which requires firms to reserve for tax uncertainties. We find for our IFRS sample a negative association between APTS and tax avoidance, which suggests that auditors are aware that firms might not reserve for tax uncertainties and may advise more conservative tax strategies. Additionally, we find a positive relation between the level of APTS and the sustainability of tax strategies in client firms, consistent with this conservative approach. Furthermore, our results show that APTS are positively related to audit quality for our sample. This finding suggests that auditors, being aware of remaining tax uncertainties that are not reserved for, are more reluctant to accept earnings management, which would further increase the risk of restatement. Taken together, the results of our study suggest the importance of accounting standards regarding tax uncertainties for the implications of APTS.
