We find that the audit report lag is significantly higher for former Andersenclients that did not follow their Andersen partner to the new audit firm than for clientsvoluntarily changing auditors from another Big 5 predecessor for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2002 the first year with the new auditor for ex-Andersen clients. Thedifferences in audit reporting lags between the two groups are not significant for fiscalyears ended December 31, 2000 the last year before Andersen’s Enron related problemssurfaced, or 2003 the second year with the successor auditor. We also find thatclients with voluntary i.e., non-Andersen auditor changes have only marginally higheraudit reporting lags compared to clients without auditor changes. Our results, focusingon a cost component of involuntary auditor changes, thus provide relevant empiricalevidence for debates surrounding mandatory auditor rotation. We also find that ex-Andersen clients that followed the Andersen partner to the new audit firm had shorteraudit report lags than ex-Andersen clients that did not follow their Andersen partner.Our findings highlight the importance of individual relationships in the auditing process,and suggest new avenues for future research.
