摘 要：In this paper, we investigate whether federal judge ideology, ceteris paribus, affects auditor litigation risk and auditor behavior. Based on existing empirical evidence that auditor behavior is affected by litigation risk and that the ideology of federal judges plays a role in judicial decisions, we argue and test that federal judge ideology does affect auditor litigation risk, and in turn, auditor behavior. We find that auditors whose client firms are in jurisdictions dominated by liberal judges are more likely to be sued and make higher payouts to plaintiffs when sued. Furthermore, such client firms are more likely to receive going concern opinions and pay higher audit fees. We find no evidence that the quality of audited financial statements is affected by judge ideology.
