Client Industry
There may be a relation between industry and both audit committee composition and the incidence of going-concern reports. Since our sample includes companies from all non-financial industry groups, we control for industry by adding 2-digit SIC code dummy variables to the model presented in table 4. In general, the industry dummy variables are not significant (p > 0.10),14 but we continue to find that the greater the percentage of affiliated directors on the audit committee, the lower the probability of receiving a goingconcern report (p < 0.01)
