Honorários de auditoria, Estrutura de mercado, Liderança de mercadoResumo
Objetivo: analisar a influência da estrutura de mercado nos honorários de auditoria, a partir das teorias da economia industrial.
Método: foi utilizado o modelo de mínimos quadrados ordinários, tendo os honorários de auditoria como variável dependente, as medidas de concentração, fatias e liderança de mercado como variáveis de interesse e uma proxy para a qualidade das auditorias, em uma amostra de 1.663 observações, no período de 2010 a 2015, de companhias listadas na [B]3 (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão).
Originalidade/Relevância: a pesquisa explora diferentes métricas de estrutura de mercado e variáveis de controle para uma amostra e um período até então não analisados na literatura nacional. Aborda uma temática de relevância para órgãos reguladores, clientes de firmas de auditoria e usuários externos das demonstrações financeiras.
Resultados: há relação positiva entre a concentração de mercado e os honorários de auditoria, inclusive quando consideradas somente firmas big. As evidências demonstram atribuição de valor à marca e possível busca por qualidade na contratação de auditorias pelas companhias abertas. Foi encontrada, ainda, uma relação positiva entre o gerenciamento de resultados e os honorários, ao contrário da hipótese prevista.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: os achados revelaram que as firmas com maior market share (participação no mercado) cobraram maiores honorários de seus clientes. Entre firmas big, a líder aufere honorários significativamente maiores. A relação positiva entre o gerenciamento de resultados e os honorários pode significar que as empresas de auditoria cobrem maiores valores para aqueles clientes que praticam, com mais agressividade, o gerenciamento.Downloads
