The audit’s impact on the rate of interest (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Revisionsplikten infördes i Sverige 1983 där ett av argumenten var att bidra till ökad insyn i företagen. År 2010 avskaffades denna revisionsplikt för småföretag. En övergripande anledning till att småföretagen valde att avstå en revisor, var den kostnadsbesparingen på 10 000 kr per år. Bolagsverket har kunnat konstatera att felaktiga bokslut från småföretagen har ökat markant sedan avskaffandet av revisionsplikten.

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att förklara hur den slopade revisionsplikten påverkar småföretags låneränta, genom att undersöka kontantintensiva och mindre kontantintensiva branscher.

Metod: En kvantitativ metod med ett hypotetiskt deduktivt arbetssätt, utförd genom en datastudie. Årsredovisningarna har hämtats från databasen Retriever Business. Vi har utfört analysen via en multipel regressionsanalys.

Resultat: Revision har en positiv påverkan på räntan och är inte statistiskt signifikant för båda branscher.

Slutsats: Vi kunde inte se någon påverkan av revision på räntan då den inte var signifikant. Det undersökningen resulterade i var att företagens storlek och dess andel materiella anläggningstillgångar var det som påverkade räntan i störst utsträckning. Vårt resultat blev även påverkat av det stora bortfallet och felaktigheter i datainhämtningen.

Abstract [en]

Background: The audit obligation was introduced in Sweden in 1983 where one of the arguments was to contribute to increased transparency in the companies. In 2010, this audit obligation for small businesses was abolished. A general reason for the small companies choosing to renounce an auditor was the cost savings of SEK 10,000 per year. Bolagsverket has been able to find that incorrect financial statements from small companies have increased significantly since the abolition of the audit obligation.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explain how the delayed audit obligation affects small companies' loan interest rates, by examining cash-intensive and less cash-intensive industries.

Method: A quantitative method with a hypothetical deductive method, performed by a computer study. The annual reports have been retrieved from the Retriever Business database. We performed the analysis via a multiple regression analysis.

Result: Auditing has a positive impact on interest rates and is not statistically significant for both industries.

Conclusion: We could not see any impact of the revision on the interest rate as it was not significant. The result of our research was that the size of the companies and their share of tangible fixed assets were the most affected by interest rates. Our results were also affected by the large drop-out and inaccuracies in data collection.
