Abstract: | Acting as an independent intermediary, the auditor facilitates market transactions by providing an "opinion" on financial statements which should help to reduce the information asymmetry between the company and its potential investors. Whether audit qualifications have informational value to investors is a question that needs further investigation, as previous empirical studies on this issue yield mixed results. |
