In this study, to evaluate these two competing perspectives, the information asymmetry Between auditor and manager was used as a moderating variable. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the impact of auditor's tenure on earnings quality under of information asymmetry between auditor and manager.

        The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the auditor’s tenure and the quality of information disclosure. The sample of the research consists of 94 companies listed in the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years between 2004 to 2012. The results of theoretical research suggested that auditor’s tenure may influence on the quality of information disclosure through an effect on the auditing quality and independence. To measure the variable of disclosure quality, the advantages of each company are utilized. These advantages have been extracted by Tehran Stock Exchange Organization through notifications on the quality of information disclosure and proper informing. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between auditor tenure and disclosure quality with the use of multiple linear regression analysis and the separation of auditor tenure duration period into two short-term and long-term periods. The results indicated the existence of a significant and positive relationship between auditor’s tenure and disclosure quality. In other words, an increase in auditor’s tenure duration period will substantially lead to an increase in the disclosure quality.   Manuscript profile

        In Iran, according to "the rule of the trustworthy audit firms of the stock and exchange organization(2007)", after 4 years of audit services, audit firms are not allowed to accept the position of the CPA of the listed companies. The purpose of legislators is to increase the independence of auditors, because they believe the independence of auditors will be decreased in long auditor tenure. This subject was attractive for Researchers to study the effect of auditor tenure on the accounting conservatism to know what will happen in a long tenure. We also test the effect of the auditor type(Audit Organization or other Firms) on the conservatism Index and we used the model of Givoly and Hayn(2000) to measure the conservatism. The statistical society includes the listed companies in Tehran Stock Exchange 2003 to 2010. The result of the study indicated that, there is a positive significant relationship between auditor tenure and accounting conservatism, in our opinion, mandatory auditor rotation does not help to increase the accounting conservatism, and therefore we feel the necessity of the revision in the law of mandatory auditor rotation. On the other hand we found that the relationship between auditor types and accounting conservatism is not significant and it means there is no significant difference in accounting conservatism between audit organization and other firms.
