Abstract:
To examine whether different legal factors will enable Certified Public Accountants(CPAs) to increase the possibility of issuing modified audit opinion for enterprise earnings manipulation and whether there are significant regional differences in this possibility, this paper adopted regression analysis method to test the relationship between earnings manipulation and the possibility of issuing modified audit opinion, and the regulation effect of legal factors on it, based on the data of Chinese listed companies. The results indicate that in more legally regulated regions, the more earnings manipulation of Chinese listed companies could decrease the possibility of CPAs to issue modified audit opinion; the optimization of local legal system can increase the possibility of CPAs to issue modified audit opinion for enterprise earnings manipulation.
