“…In such a context, the following studies have analyzed the determinants of SFS restatements and their consequences for the market: a) increase in restatements decreases the return of shares (Anderson & Yohn, 2002;Palmrose, Richardson, & Scholz, 2004); b) restatements have a negative relationship with the value of the company and with the market reaction (Hribar & Jenkins, 2004;Jategaonkar, Lovata, & Sierra, 2012;Palmrose et al, 2004;Mr. Silva;Wilson, 2008); c) fraudulent accounting reports are one of the main determinants for restatements (Albring, Huang, Pereira, & Xiaolu, 2013;Carpenter, 2007;DeFond & Jiambalvo, 1991;Palmrose et al, 2004); d) negative relationship between the auditors' fees and future restatements (Blankley, Hurtt, & MacGregor, 2012;Blankley, Hurtt, & MacGregor, 2014;Raghunandan, Read, & Whinesant, 2003;Stanley & DeZoort, 2007), or even positive (Kinney, Palmrose, & Scholz, 2004;Stanley & DeZoort 2007); e) lower probability of restatement by companies audited by the Big Four (Eshleman & Guo, 2014;Newton, Wang, & Wilkins, 2013), but results were also found audits conducted by the Big Four do not imply less restatement (Lobo & Zhao, 2013;Marques, Aires, Cerqueira, & Silva, 2016).…”
