【摘要】 改革开放以来,我国经济得到了飞速发展,审计的作用也越来越重要。在经济展壮大的过程中,我国企业的规模不断扩大,实力也越来越强,形成了一批具有一定规模的企业集团。随着企业规模的扩大,其经济业务也变的更加复杂,对审计的要求也越来越高,而且普通的小所可能无法承担起这些大型的企业集团的审计业务。为了适应经济的发展,跟上企业发展的步伐,更好的为企业服务,近几年,我国的会计师事务所之间掀起了一股合并的浪潮,通过合并不断扩大事务所的规模。但是,事务所不是普通的企业,注册会计师的审计工作具有特殊性,事务所的审计质量直接影响着财务报表使用者的投资决策,影响着我国经济社会的健康发展。审计的监督作用的充分发挥是以良好的审计质量为提前的,如果注册会计师的审计质量低下,审计的作用将不复存在。因此,审计质量对于会计师事务所的生存和发展至关重要。会计师事务所之间的合并,事务所规模的扩大也必须以提高审计质量为提前,以保证我国社会经济的健康发展为任务。理论研究一般认为事务所规模和审计质量之间存在一定的联系,规模大的会计师事务所的审计质量相对较高。这一理论在西方发达国家的审计市场上得到了验证。但是在我国,一些审计失败案例的出现,如琼民源案,银广夏案等,这些案例中涉及到的都是一些在我国规模较大的会计师事务所,使得社会公众开始质疑我国会计师事务所的审计质量,也使得人们对理论研究的结论在我国是否适用提出了疑问。因此,在目前的背景下,研究我国会计师事务所规模与审计质量之间的关系具有非常重要的现实意义。本文内容共分为四部分,具体内容安排如下:第一部分,绪论。该部分主要介绍了本文的选题背景,动机和研究目的,并对国内外就这一问题的研究进行了总结。第二部分,会计师事务所规模与审计质量关系的理论分析。在这一部分,文章指出,影响会计师事务所审计质量的主要因素一是审计人员的专业胜任能力,二是审计执业人员的独立性。简单介绍了审计质量衡量指标。其次,对我国会计师事务所的规模进行了界定。最后,借助声誉理论和深口袋理论,以及会计师事务所自身的特点,对事务所规模与审计质量的关系进行了理论分析。这一部分是全文的理论基础。第三部分,事务所规模与审计质量关系的实证研究。在这一部分,文章采用回归分析的方法,选取了2009年A股上市公司的年度审计数据,进行分析。研究结果表明在我国会计师事务所规模与审计质量之间确实存在正相关关系,但是影响程度较弱。第四部分,实证研究结果分析及政策建议。针对上一部分实证研究的结论,分析产生这种现象的原因。并并依据实证结论和原因分析,对提高我国会计师事务所的审计质量提出建议。

【Abstract】 Since the reform and opening up, China’s economy developed quickly. Because of the develop of economy, the function of audit becomes very important. The development of the economy in China has formed many large scale enterprise groups. At the same time, just because of the rise of these large enterprise groups, the work of audit is much more complex that some small-scale accounting firms can’t do the work independently. Therefore, in order to adapt to the development of economy in China, in recent years, many accounting firms were on the road of mergering. Because of the mergering, now there are many large-scale accounting firms in china. Because of the particularity of the certified public accountants’work, the quality of their work directly influence the healthy development of the capital market. As we all know, the certified public accountants’audit has great effect on the implementing of the macroeconomic policies, maintaining the order of capital market, protecting interests of our investors and the public. So the quality of audit is the basic of the certified public accountants industry and is the guarantee of the quality information of financial reports. Therefore, the auditor size must ensure to improve the capital market’s information quality, the development of auditor size must be to improve the quality of independent audits. But in China’s capital markets, there are some audit failure cases, such as case qiongminyuan and yinguangxia. The accounting firms involved in these cases are all large-scale ones. However, the theoretical study abroad is generally considered that the larger the firm scale, the higher the audit quality is. But the reality in china makes the public to rethink the quality of audit of our accounting firms. Therefore, in the present context, the research on the relation between the auditor size and the audit quality is very important.This paper is divided into five parts to discuss the relationship between auditor size and the audit quality. Specific content as follows: The first part, introduction. This part mainly introduces the background, motivation, and purpose of the paper and then the research on the issue both at home and abroad is summarized.The second part, the theoretical analysis of the relationship between the audit size and the quality of audit. In this section, the article points out the most important factors that effect the audit quality, one is the professional competence of the audit staff, the other is the independence of staff who practice the audit work. Then we briefly introduces the audit quality substitution indexes. Secondly, defined the scale of Chinese accounting firms. Finally, with the theory of reputation and deep pockets and the features of the accounting firms itself. We analyze the theoretical relationship between the accounting firm scale and the quality of auditing. This part is the basis of the whole paper.The third part, demonstration about the relationship between the auditor size and the quality of audit. In this part, we adopt the regression analysis method and select the data of the listed companies in 2009.The research results show that undoubtedly there is a positive correlation between the accounting firm scale and the quality of auditing, but it’s very weaker.The fourth part, the result of the regression analysis and the policies. In this part, the reason about the result is considered. At last, in order to improve the quality of our accounting firms, some suggestions is mentioned.
