| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of my research is to coduct experimental investigations on following client rejection issues based on the game theoretical settings. Big audit firms are reluctant to accept an audit offer from clients with going concern problems and it is small audit firms that accept this offer. Their independence is at stake. My research demonstrates that auditors with less market power don't compromise their independence, even if their clients are investment-averse. Client rejection leads to a huge economic loss and ultimately a market failure, through preventing high promising entrepreneurs from having access to capital markets. My research indicates that the stricteness of legal liability does not have much impact om client rejection nor investor's decision. Howerver, it suggests that the high frequency of the bad type entrepreneur should produce mutual defection between auditors and investors, that is, less frequent great effort at evaluationg clients and less frequent investment.
