Abstract: | This paper reports two experiments in which Big 5 audit managers estimate reported (audited) earnings conditional on analysts' consensus forecast, auditing standards, and auditor discovery of a quantitative immaterial earnings overstatement. The authors find that auditors judge overstatement correction less likely if it would cause a missed forecast, even for objectively measured misstatements. |
