Descrição
Resumo:The independent audit is considered a factor that reduces the asymmetry of accounting information for the market. Its independence is a relevant indicator of signaling as to the quality of its work performed, which seeks to ensure the quality of the accounting information disclosed by the companies. The auditor's remuneration is one of the conditions studied that underlie and influence its independence and, consequently, the quality of the independent audit. Thus, the present research aims to investigate the effect of the Winner's Curse on public procurement, auction modality, of independent auditing. Anchored in the Theory of Auctions and the Curse of the Winner, the study was carried out with a quantitative approach, resulting in a sample of forty-six state-owned companies analyzed, in order to total seventy-three observations of hiring carried out in the period from 2010 to 2020. documental research based on the minutes of electronic trading sessions and the data collected were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression estimated by the Ordinary Least Squares method – OLS – and a complementary test via Quantile Regression. The tests were performed using the STATA® statistical software, version 14.0. The results respond positively to the research hypothesis that the contracting procedure through auction causes a high level of competition between auditing firms, increasing the variation between the estimated price and the one actually contracted, which positively affects the occurrence of the debasement of fees, especially initial audits of state-owned companies and thus the Winner's Curse. With regard to the hypothesis about the impact of the debasement of fees on the quality of the audit carried out in these companies, using earnings management as a proxy, the hypothesis was statistically rejected to determine causality and correlation between the existence of debasement and earnings management. However, in the additional test using the OLS Regression model without the constant, the regression result indicates significance for the demeaning variable in relation to the practice of earnings management. As the main contributions of the study, elements were obtained for professional and regulatory concern about the effectiveness of the electronic auction for contracting technical services of independent audit.
