摘要:注册会计师作为独立性最强的群体,自1980年注册会计师制度恢复以来,为保证我国证券市场的稳定和发展发挥着重要的作用。然而,随着注册会计师队伍的不断壮大和审计市场竞争的日趋激烈,注册会计师和上市公司的审计合谋现象愈演愈烈,严重威胁到我国经济市场的健康有序发展和投资者的资金安全,从而使注册会计师独立、客观、公正的形象顿时受到公众的质疑。本文在查阅大量审计合谋理论和研究成果的基础上,通过对审计合谋相关理论的深入分析,结合我国当前市场经济运作过程中审计合谋的现状,从审计合谋的根本原因、直接原因、内部原因、社会原因等四个方面分析审计合谋的原因,进而从政府和相关部门、上市公司、会计师事务所和注册会计师等三个角度出发,提出治理我国上市公司审计合谋的对策,不足之处敬请指出。

审计合谋是上市公司与注册会计师或会计师事务所相互勾结的结果。究其原因,笔者认为,我国审计监督制度滞后、审计独立性缺失、社会诚信缺失等审计现状,诱使注册会计师在面对“僧多粥少”的市场,面对漏洞百出的监管制度,最终选择了放弃职业操守去迎合审计客户,接受他们的“贿赂”。利益驱使他们选择合谋,制度纵容了他们的合谋行为。也就是说,审计合谋产生的背后是委托代理双方利益关系的存在;那么,治理它的难点就在于其隐蔽性强和主观性强的特点。因为它比纯粹的会计舞弊更加隐蔽,危害程度更加高,而二者往往又同时存在,所以审计合谋是财务舞弊的催化剂,更是扰乱经济秩序的始作俑者。因此,在我国经济发展的关键时刻,必须综合治理我国上市公司审计合谋现象,有效的阻止审计合谋的发展和蔓延。
