base our empirical strategy on the use of hazard models where the dependent variable is an indicator for the customer-supplier relationship ending. Consistent with prior literature, we define relationship termination as a customer-supplier relationship that falls below the 10 percent of sales threshold prescribed by SFAS 131 and therefore is no longer reported (Fee, Hadlock and

Thomas [2006]; Raman and Shahrur [2008]). Although we capture relationships that are completely terminated and those with reduced sales only, both events are consistent with ICWs having a negative influence on trade with a major customer. Across our empirical specifications, we find that supplier ICWs are associated with a significant increase in the probability of a relationship ending. Specifically, our findings imply that supplier ICWs increase the likelihood of termination by 5.4 to 9.1 percent, which represents an economically significant increase from the 13.4 percent unconditional mean likelihood of termination. This finding demonstrates the powerful economic consequences for supply chain contracts that can result from weak internal controls.
