Resumo: This article aims to measure the effect of the audit firm rotation on the earnings quality of Brazilian public companies listed on BM&FBOVESPA in the period from 2008 to 2015. We use discretionary accruals as a measure of earnings quality, using two approaches: earnings management and the estimation errors. Results show that audit firm rotation reduced the volume of discretionary accruals and, thus, increases the earnings quality, when these are measured from the perspective of earnings management. However, we do not observe the effect of audit firm rotation on earnings quality when the discretionary accruals are measured from the perspective of accounting estimation errors. The results also show that companies that rotate audit firms voluntarily have greater discretionary accruals and, consequently, lower earnings quality.

Como medida de qualidade dos lucros foram utilizados os accruals discricionários, abordados a partir de duas diferentes perspectivas: o gerenciamento de resultados e os erros de estimativas. Os resultados demonstram que o rodízio de firma de auditoria reduz o volume de accruals discricionários e, assim, aumenta a qualidade dos lucros, quando esses são mensurados a partir da perspectiva do gerenciamento de resultados. Entretanto, o efeito do rodízio de firma de auditoria sobre a qualidade dos lucros não é observado quando os accruals discricionários são mensurados a partir da perspectiva dos erros de estimativas contábeis. Por outro lado, os resultados demonstram que as empresas que realizam rodízio voluntário de firma de auditoria apresentam maiores accruals discricionários e, consequentemente, menor qualidade dos lucros.FUCAPE Business Shool2018-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleArtigo revisado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://www.bbronline.com.br/index.php/bbr/article/view/37710.15728/bbr.2018.15.5.1Brazilian Business Review; Vol. 15 No. 5 (2018): September to October 2018; 410-426Brazilian Business Review; v. 15 n. 5 (2018): Setembro a Outubro de 2018; 410-4261808-23861807-734Xreponame:BBR.
