This study had for main objective to performed a comparative analysis of the accounting measures of risk between the companies listed in Bovespa audited by Big Four and Non Big Four, and the secondary objective concentrated on the existence of accounting measures of risk that its indicate an uncertainty about the normal continuity of the businesses, and its influence to disclosure in the audit report an emphasis paragraph related such uncertainty. The interest in a study about the audit quality with focus in the capital market it has as motivation to evaluate the auditing opinion is accomplishing its role to provide credibility in financial statements. The hypotheses of this study are the following ones: (i) company audited by Big Four has lower risk when compared to the company audited by Non Big Four; and (ii) if the company audited by Big Four has higher risk probably the auditing opinion has an emphasis paragraph about the going concern. The evaluation of the quality of the auditing is a difficult task, once the only public result of the auditing work is the audit report. 236 companies listed in Bovespa in the period from 2002 to 2007 composed the study sample. The obtained results indicated that companies audited by Big Four have lower risk than companies audited by Non Big Four. However, due to the occurrence of three inconsistencies in the audit reports from Big Four, which did not report an emphasis paragraph about the going concern, the second hypothesis of this research was rejected
