讲座主题：Auditor Reputation Concerns, Human Capital Investment, and Audit Quality

主持人：李哲

摘要：This paper examines audit offices’ human capital investment in response to a reputation loss and the resulting effect on audit quality. We document that after client restatement announcements, audit offices attempt to acquire human capital and talent by posting more audit-related job positions. The increase in job postings is concentrated among more senior and experienced positions, and follows restatements with negative market reactions. It is not driven by replacement hiring due to auditor departures and is associated with more auditors joining the office. Audit personnel salaries also increase in response to client restatement announcements. These human capital investments reduce the contagion effect of low-quality audits and the losses in local market share, supporting improvements in audit quality and auditor reputation.
