초록

본 연구는 경영전략 상 신제품 또는 R&D비용 관련 고유위험을 가진 선도형 기업이 회계감사시간에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하며, 더 나아가 직급별 감사시간에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석한다. 표본은 유가증권 및 코스닥 상장기업을 대상으로 2018년부터 2019년 표본을 이용하여 실증분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 선도형 기업의 고유위험을 감사인이 인지하고 감사품질을 높이기 위해 노력하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 감사팀 내 직급과 역할에 따라 상응하는 위험정도가 다르기 때문에 위험정도가 높은 핵심직급에서 더 높은 노력을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 기업의 경영전략 유형이 재무보고품질이나 조세회피 등과 같은 기업 내부적 요인이 아닌 외부 관계자인 감사인의 감사노력과 자원투입에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증하는데 연구의 의의가 있다. 또한 감사품질 제고를 위한 정책과 제도를 마련하는 데 있어, 기업의 경영전략이 중요한 고려 요소가 될 수 있다는 중요한 함의를 갖는다.

This study analyzes how companies of prospector type with inherent risks from new products and R&D costs affect audit hours, and further analyzes how they affect rank-specific audit hours. Samples were empirically analyzed using samples from 2018 to 2019 for KOSPI-listed and KOSDAQ-listed companies. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that auditors were aware of the inherent risks of companies of prospector type and were striving to improve audit quality. Second, it was found that the corresponding degree of risk differs depending on the position and role in the audit team, so higher efforts were made in core positions with high risk levels. The results of this study are meaningful in verifying how the type of Business Strategies affects the audit efforts and resource input of auditors who are external parties, not internal factors such as financial reporting quality or tax avoidance. It also has important implications that a company's Business Strategies can be an significant factor to consider in preparing policies and systems for improving audit quality.
