Abstract: This study investigates whether goodwill impairments are perceived as timely and whether specific auditor characteristics affect the perceived timeliness. It therefore contributes to central questions in accounting research: is managerial discretion over accounting numbers (accounting choice) good or bad for stakeholders and does audit quality have an impact on this relationship? It is motivated by the IASB's post‐implementation review on business combinations and the Goodwill and Impairment project based on i… Show more

“…Isso é observado, por exemplo, por Beatty e Weber (2006), Li e Sloan (2017), Li et al (2011) e Ramanna e Watts (2012) no contexto americano da Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 142 (SFAS 142). Já no âmbito das normas internacionais de contabilidade, pesquisas realizadas na Alemanha (Albersmann & Quick, 2020), Austrália (Ji, 2013) e Coreia do Sul (Choi & Nam, 2020) também fornecem evidências de que a perda por impairment do goodwill não é reconhecida de forma totalmente oportuna pelas empresas.…”

Isso assegura que informações de resultados do ano corrente, incluindo potenciais perdas no goodwill, sejam processadas pelos participantes do mercado de capitais (Albersmann & Quick, 2020).…”

“…Second, André et al (2016) choose Italy and the UK as the benchmark countries for France, though the sample of companies for this study includes companies from 16 European countries. Given the relevance of the environmental setting for the issue investigated (Albersmann & Quick, 2020;Lobo et al, 2017), the differences between France, Italy and the UK make it difficult to assume that any observed difference in audit quality between these countries is caused by the different joint audit regulation. To overcome this limitation, segmented analyses are conducted limited to those countries which are viewed as more comparable to France in terms of the institutional setting for the audit activity.…”
