روش‌شناسی پژوهش: فرضیه‌های پژوهش بر اساس داده‌های گردآوری‌شده از 128 شرکت پذیرفته‌شده در بورس اوراق بهادار تهران طی سال‌های 1393 تا 1397 با استفاده از تحلیل رگرسیون داده‌های ترکیبی مورد آزمون قرار گرفت.
یافتهها: نتایج آزمون نشان داد که بین دوره تصدی حسابرس و تخصص حسابرس در صنعت با میزان اصلاحات سود حسابرسی شده رابطه مثبت و معنی‌داری وجود دارد؛ اما بین حق‌الزحمه حسابرس، اندازه حسابرس و رتبه حسابرس با میزان اصلاحات سود حسابرسی شده رابطه منفی و بی‌معنی وجود دارد. جهت تجزیه‌وتحلیل بیشتر، تأثیر کیفیت حسابرسی بر اصلاحات حسابرس که منجر به کاهش سود می‌شود نیز بررسی شد. شواهد حاکی از آن است که دوره تصدی حسابرس و تخصص حسابرس در صنعت رابطه مثبت معنی‌دار و اندازه حسابرس و رتبه حسابرس رابطه منفی معنی‌دار با اصلاحات کاهشی سود حسابرسی دارند.
 اصالت/ارزش افزوده علمی: در این پژوهش از پنج شاخص دوره تصدی حسابرس، اندازه حسابرس، رتبه حسابرس، تخصص حسابرس در صنعت و حق‌الزحمه حسابرس به عنوان معیار کیفیت حسابرسی استفاده شده است.

چکیده [English]

Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the role and impact of audited quality indicators on the amount of audited earnings corrections.
Methodology: Three indicators, auditor tenure, auditor size, and auditor fees, were used to measure the audit quality. Research hypotheses based on collected data from 128 companies accepted in the Tehran Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2018 were tested using combined regression analysis.
Findings: The test results showed a significant positive relationship between auditor tenure and auditor industry specialization with audit adjustments to earnings, but there is a negative and meaningless relationship between auditor fees, auditor size, and auditor rate with audit adjustments to earnings. To further analyze, the effect of audit quality on the downward audit adjustments to earnings was also examined. Evidence indicates a significant positive relationship between auditor tenure and auditor industry specialization with downward audit adjustments to earnings and a significant negative relationship between auditor size and auditor rate with downward audit adjustments to earnings.
Originality/Value: In this research, five indicators of auditor tenure, auditor size, auditor rank, auditor specialization in industry, and auditor fee were used as criteria for audit quality.
