| Abstract: | In this study, the authors test the extent to which combinations of financial and non-financial information can be used to enhance the ability to discriminate between the choices of a qualified or unqualified (clean) audit report. The authors examined the financial statements, the opinions of the auditors, and the notes to financial statements for companies that received a qualified audit report and for those that received an unqualified audit report. The data are taken from a sample of 100 Greek companies. Logistic and OLS regression models were estimated to assess the effect of firm litigation and financial information on audit qualification opinion. This study has implications for internal and external auditors and company decision makers. |
