This study examines factors that influence auditors' propensity to issue going concern audit reports (GCARs) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Using a sample of 405 NPOs that received initial GCARs between 1998 and 2003 and their size-, sector- and year-matched financially distressed peers, I develop a model to identify factors that influence auditors' propensity to issue GCARs in the nonprofit sector.

520 $a This study examines factors that influence auditors' propensity to issue going concern audit reports (GCARs) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Using a sample of 405 NPOs that received initial GCARs between 1998 and 2003 and their size-, sector- and year-matched financially distressed peers, I develop a model to identify factors that influence auditors' propensity to issue GCARs in the nonprofit sector.
520 $a The results show that having a low operating reserve ratio increases the likelihood of an NPO getting a GCAR. In addition, there is some evidence that grant reductions in NPOs in which grants constitute a significant proportion of revenues raise the likelihood of receiving a GCAR. Moreover, reductions in program service revenues, when program service revenues constitute a significant proportion of NPOs' revenues, intensify auditors' propensity to issue GCARs. I also find that, conditional on financial distress, NPOs that have reported internal control exceptions and noncompliance with laws, regulations, and provisions of grant agreements are more likely to receive GCARs. However, there is no supporting evidence that fundraising inefficiencies raise auditors' tendency to issue GCARs.
520 $a The survival analyses of the GCAR sample and the peer group indicate that NPOs with GCARs or low operating reserve ratios have lower probabilities to continue to operate. The findings also suggest that the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) trickled down to NPOs even though SOX does not directly apply to nonprofits because auditors' going concern decisions seem to be more sensitive to risk factors after the passage of SOX.
520 $a Finally, this study investigates economic consequences of going concern audit opinions in the nonprofit setting. Specifically, I examine the impacts of GCARs on total contributions and debt of an NPO. The results show that total contributions decrease after an NPO receives a GCAR, indicating that GCARs lead to adverse economic effects. However, there is no supporting evidence that a GCAR alters an NPO's debt level.
