Independence auditing contributes to optimization of financial reports in capital markets through improving reliability and increasing process validity. Auditing quality is a function of many different factors, particularly auditor autonomy. Therefore, any decline in auditor autonomy directly affects the process of auditing. A close analysis of auditor change is urgent, for it is related to auditor autonomy. Thus, the present study undertakes to investigate predictability of financial distress for predicting auditor changes in companies listed at Tehran Stock Exchange during 2002-2011. It also proposes a model for this process using financial distress and techniques of Data- mining.Data mining methods, Bayesian network, Classification and Regression Tree (CART) and Logistic Regression are used for testing the four hypotheses of the study. Results of logistic regression analysis indicate a significant relationship between auditor change and financial distress at confidence level of 95%. Results also show 89% and 84% for precision and true positive rates, respectively. Our results reveal that financial distress arising from audited financial statements are good sources of information for predicting auditor changes in active companies listed at Tehran Stock Exchange, which can be used, along with data-mining techniques, for designing effective models for predicting auditor changes.
