Note(s): Table 5 reports regression results examining the effects of the introduction of the King IV code, the reason for the restatement (accounting error, irregularity or policy change) and whether the firm has previously issued a restatement, together with a set of control variables, on 21-, 5- and 3-day CARs in Panels A, B and C respectively. Newey–West heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation standard errors are used. *, **, and *** indicate significance at the 10%, 5% and 1% levels respectively
