Abstract:
The attributes of the board of directors and the audit committee, regarded as instruments of management and control, are crucial to the perception of corporate risk and may to some extent determine which key audit matters (KAMs) are disclosed. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and KAMs disclosed in audit reports issued by 335 firms traded on B3 in the 3-year period 2016-2018. The collected information was analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations and linear regressions on panel data. As a corporate governance control mechanism, the audit committee was found to attenuate corporate risk, influencing the auditor’s perception of corporate disclosure and, consequently, the number of KAMs reported. In addition, our results allowed to infer that CEO duality compromises the monitoring capabilities of the board of directors, increasing risk and affecting the choice and number of KAMs included in corporate reports.
