| description | According to the agency theory, due to interest conflict between firm managers and investors, auditing report affects financial statements validity and may increase or decrease information asymmetry in capital market. Internal control weakness report is one of the reports whose reliability may be affected by audit report and may moderate information asymmetry in the capital market. So, this study is aimed to investigate the relation between disclosure report of internal controls weakness and information asymmetry and moderating effect of audit report on this relation in firms listed in TSE. To do this, the 3 years (2012 to 2014) data about internal controls weaknesses of firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange is analyzed by panel data analysis method. The results show that there is a significant relation between disclosure of internal controls weakness and information asymmetry and also, audit report has a moderating effect on this relation. These results confirm the important role of auditing in validation of financial statements and reduction of information asymmetry. |
