The effect of auditor changes on audit fees, audit hours, and audit quality

Article Abstract:

The correlation between independent auditor fees, hours and quality is examined, giving particular attention to initial audits. Empirical results gathered from audits of local and regional public accounting firms of independent school districts in Texas indicate specific low balling relationships. There were statistically significant lower audit fees during the first year of independent audits. Quality was higher and more audit hours consumed despite lower fees.
