How Does Disclosure of Component Auditor Use Affect Nonprofessional Investors' Perceptions and Behavior?

Drawing on prior research and source credibility theory, this study examines nonprofessional investors' acquisition and evaluation of component auditor use as disclosed in Form AP, and whether and how this evaluation influences their investment decisions. I find that very few investors voluntarily access component auditor information. When asked to review the Form AP, investors perceive the audit team as more trustworthy when a component auditor is not used, leading them to perceive the audited financial statements as more reliable. However, the perceived competence of the audit team and investment behavior are not affected by component auditor use. Regulators express concerns regarding component auditor use, but results suggest that while investors share some concerns about the audit, their concerns are not significant enough to influence investment behavior, which complements archival research. Results also suggest that component auditor use could have an unintended consequence for the lead auditor's responsibility for the audit.

Celebrity Credibility Influence on Cosmetic Product Purchase Intention

One of the strategies that are used by companies to differentiate their cosmetic products is celebrity endorsement. Despite this popular advertising technique, researchers and advertisers have not agreed as to which celebrity source characteristics are most effective in influencing consumers' purchase intention. Another important factor that affects consumers' purchase intention is the consumer ethnocentrism level. Consumers in different countries have different preference over local and international products. Thus, the objective of this chapter is to examine the source credibility theory with the moderating role of ethnocentrism. The result suggests that celebrity endorsers' trustworthiness (TR), attractiveness (AT), and expertise (EX) had a significant positive influence on cosmetic product purchase intention (CPPI). The moderating role of ethnocentrism between AT, TR, and CPPI were examined and found to be significant. This indicates that AT and TR are stronger when consumers' ethnocentrism is high.

The Interplay of Management Incentives and Audit Committee Communication on Auditor Judgment

ABSTRACT This study investigates the interplay of management and the audit committee on auditor judgments and evidence documentation. In a 2 × 2 between-subjects experiment, 58 experienced auditors were tasked with evaluating an inventory obsolescence issue when management's incentives to influence the auditor were either higher or lower. The auditors were also either provided or not provided with additional communicated expectations from the audit committee that opposed management's aggressive reporting preference. Drawing on research on competing preferences and source credibility theory, we predict and find that when management's incentives are higher, additional audit committee communication has a significant and positive impact on auditors' evidence evaluation and related judgments. However, we find no effect of added audit committee influence when management incentives are lower. These findings highlight the importance of examining the interrelationships among the various actors contributing to corporate governance and also inform standard setters about the benefits of increased communication between audit committees and auditors.
