A basic study of agency-cost source and municipal use of internal versus external control

Article Abstract:

A study of the municipal control systems to analyze the effect of internal and external controls on agency cost source is presented. It is observed that cities confronting high levels of agency costs from voters and creditors tend to hire auditors with municipal experience or big 5 auditors and do away with internal auditors. On the other hand, cities with high levels of agency costs from employees are inclined not to hire the big 5 auditors though they too opt for hiring auditors with municipal experience.
