Abstract

Ce papier est consacré à l’étude de l’impact de la qualité d’audit et de la propriété institutionnelle sur la transparence de la communication financière. L’étude empirique porte sur un échantillon de 30 firmes de la Bourse de Tunis observé sur la période (2005-2011), confirme l’effet positif de la réputation de l’auditeur sur la transparence de la communication financière. Nos résultats montrent, également, que les entreprises ayant une bonne publication financière sont auditées par des auditeurs dont leur mandat n’excède pas 3ans. De plus, nous constatons que l’interaction entre la qualité d’audit et la présence des actionnaires institutionnels a un effet sur l’amélioration de l’indice de transparence. Ce test montre que l’impact de la qualité d’audit externe sur la transparence de l’information est positif et significatif pour les entreprises dont la participation d’investisseurs institutionnels dans le capital est forte.
