Seminar introduction:

We examine the association between financially constrained firms and financial restatements. We find that financially constrained firms as defined by Audit Analytics are more prone to restate their financial statements. We also find that, among financially constrained firms, weaker firm performance, greater financial leverage and greater informational complexity are associated with higher discretionary accruals and more restatements. However, while firms with greater investment opportunities and financing needs have higher discretionary accruals, they are not associated with more restatements. Last but not least, we find that a financial constraint measure based on textual analysis outperforms traditional metrics used in prior research to predict restatements.
