This study reviews recent research on the effect of distracted gatekeepers (i.e., institutional investors, external auditors, and audit committee members) on corporate actions, including operational outcomes, governance effectiveness, corporate disclosure and financial reporting behavior, and audit quality. This review also summarizes various empirical strategies for identifying gatekeeper distraction. This is the first review of the emerging body of research on gatekeeper distraction in the capital market. It will be very useful to researchers, practitioners, and regulators. |
