Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att skapa en fördjupad förståelse för revisorsrotationens inverkan på revisionskvalitet utifrån ett klientperspektiv. 

Metod: Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod. För datainsamling genomfördes nio semistrukturerade intervjuer med ledamöter från styrelser och revisionsutskott i börsnoterade bolag.    

Resultat och slutsats: Studien visar att revisionsklienterna upplever att revisorsrotation har en positiv inverkan på revisionskvaliteten. Vidare visar studien att revisorernas kompetens och revisorernas oberoende är de centrala delarna av revisionskvaliteten.     

Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien ger en insyn i hur implementeringen av de obligatoriska rotationsreglerna påverkar revisionskvaliteten i praktiken. Till skillnad från tidigare forskning har den här studien fokuserat på hur revisorernas egna klienter upplever att revisionskvaliteten påverkas av revisorsrotation.    

Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Ett förslag till fortsatt forskning är att gå djupare in på antalet rotationer som de svenska börsnoterade bolagen varit med om. Här kan framtida forskning studera antalet rotationer av bolagens påskrivande revisor, antal rotationer av revisionsteamet samt antalet rotationer av revisionsbyrå.  

 

Abstract [en]

Aim: The purpose of this study is to create a deeper understanding of the impact of auditor   rotation on audit quality from a client perspective.      

Method: The study is based on a qualitative research methodology. För data collection, nine semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of boards and audit committees of listed companies.    

Results and conclusions: The study shows that audit clients perceive auditor rotation as having a positive positive impact on audit quality. Furthermore, the study shows that auditor competence and auditor independence are the key elements of audit quality.  

Contribution of the thesis: The study provides an insight into how the implementation of the mandatory rotation rules affects audit quality in practice. In contrast to previous research, this study focuses on how auditors’ own clients perceive audit quality to be affected by auditor rotation. 

Suggestion for future research: One suggestion for further research is to go deeper into the number of rotations that Swedish listed companies have experienced. Future research could study the number of rotations of the company’s signing auditor, the number of rotations of the audit team and the number of rotations of audit firms.
