The risk of stock price crash is one of the topics of interest in capital market research. Since the main mission of capital market regulators is to protect the rights of investors, it has always been important to consider the factors that affect crash risk. The quality of financial reporting and earnings management patterns are the most important tools available to regulators that can help them manage crash risk aversion, which is why this study addressed them. Earning management patterns include earnings management through accruals and real earnings management. The statistical population of this study is the companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange and the research sample was selected in terms of some features (including 167 companies) for the period 2012 to 2018. The research method of the present study is descriptive- correlation and the research hypotheses are tested using the generalized least squares method. The results show that the accrued earnings management model is related to stock crash risk and the use of earnings management through accruals increases the risk of stock price falls. While this is not the case with earnings management through real activities, the application of this earnings management model has nothing to do with the negative changes in stock returns. In addition, audit quality weakens the relationship between accrued earnings management pattern and stock crash risk. While the relationship between real earnings management pattern and stock crash risk is not affected by audit quality

This paper is aimed to review the effects of financial professional expertise of the auditIn this study, we investigated the effect of audit committee members’ financial expertise on the relationship between the environmental risks of the company (including financial risk, operational risk and business risk) and the audit fee of the company. Thus, after explaining the theoretical foundations and implementation of hypotheses of the research, we selected 101 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange TSE) through screening for a period of 7 years (2012-2018). We extracted required data, and then examined the classical assumptions of linear regression. Finally, we tested the implemented hypotheses by using multivariate linear regression.Findings showed that audit committee members’ financial expertise has a negative and significant relationship with audit fee and environmental risks of the company however; such a relationship does not weaken the severity of the direct relationship between environmental risks and the audit fee of the company.

This paper is aimed to review the effect of audit committee characteristics on the relationship between audit report timeliness and auditor task complexity in the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). After analyzing the theoretical foundations and research hypotheses through systematic sampling, 39 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange were selected in a 6-year time-period 1391-1396 (i.e. 234 observations) as a statistical sample. The hypotheses have been tested within the sample by using the classic assumptions and multivariate linear regression. The results show that increasing the size, independence and the financial expertise of the audit committee would not weaken the intensity of the direct relationship between audit report timeliness and Audit Task Complexity
