【摘要】 审计定价(Adit Pricing)是注册会计师审计机制在具体运行过程中的重要环节,与会计师事务所的市场竞争行为和审计执业行为有着紧密的联系,因此审计定价在审计学术和实务研究中有着重要地位。通常国外会计理论、实务界将审计收费(Audit Fees)作为审计定价的替代变量。2001年2月5日,美国证券交易委员会(SEC)要求美国上市公司公开批露审计及相关服务费用,从此西方对审计服务价格的研究掀起了高潮。2001年12月24日,中国证监会要求上市公司公布支付给会计师事务所的报酬,该规定为实证研究我国审计收费影响因素提供了契机。纵观国内外有关审计收费影响因素的实证研究,多集中于公司财务指标,研究成果也较成熟。不过随着研究的深入发展,学者们已不仅仅停留在像客户规模、客户复杂性、客户风险等财务指标上,许多专业人士正在探索审计师在确定审计费用时,会不会或者说该不该考虑公司治理结构的影响?更进一步地,审计师会不会考虑到公司治理内部行为特征,如高管层实施的盈余管理行为所蕴藏的审计风险有没有反应在审计收费中?其实这也正是本文研究的目标,探索的关键点。为此,本文在文献回顾、概念介绍、理论分析及假设提出的基础上,选取我国沪深两市A股资本市场2003-2006年间共23.18家上市公司为研究样本。借鉴Simunic的审计费用模型,选取董事会规模、独立董事比例、董事长与总经理两职是否合一、度量股权集中度的前5大股东持股比例、度量股权性质的最终控股股东是否为政府、审计委员会的设置、高管层持股比例和度量盈余管理的可操控性应计利润指标作为解释变量。研究发现：董事会规模与审计收费显著正相关,独立董事比例、上市公司的终极控股股东为政府、高管层持股比例与审计收费显著负相关,且股权集中度与审计收费存在非线性关系也得到了验证。董事长与总经理两职合一、审计委员会的设置状况、盈余管理与审计收费相关性不显著。通过实证研究结果可知,审计师在确定审计收费时,应该考虑公司治理结构的影响。更多还原

【Abstract】 Audit pricing is the important part of the process,which is in the registered accountants’audit mechanism in the specific operation, closely linked with the accounting firms’ market-competitive conduct and audit practice, therefore the audit pricing has an important position in the academic and practical study of the audit. Usually foreign accounting theory and practical circles reckon audit fees as an alternative variable of pricing audit.February 5,2001, the United States Securities Commission (SEC) asked listed companies in the United States to disclose the cost of the audit and related services in their annual report.Since then,the study of the price of audit services reaches a climax in the West. December 24, 2001, the China Securities Regulatory Commission required public companies to announce the compensation paid to the accounting firms.The provision provided the opportunity for an empirical study of influencing factors of audit fees in China.Looking at the empirical research of factors of the impact on audit fees, focusing on the company’s financial indicators, research results are also more mature.But, with the deep development of research, scholars not only keep a close watch such as the scale of customers,the complexity of clients,the risk of customers financial indicators, many professionals are but also exploring if they should consider the impact of corporate governance structure when the auditors are determining the audit fees? Further, if auditors will take into account the behavioral characteristics of internal corporate governance, such as if the audit risk potentially implemented by senior management’s earnings management activities reflected in the audit fees? In fact, this is also the goal of this study and the key points explored. In this paper, on the basis of the literature review, the concept production, the theoretical analysis and assumptions made,the selection of 2318 samples of China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen A shares of capital markets between 2003 and 2006 is regarded as the study of listed companies. Simunic model of the audit costs referred, the size of the board of directors, the proportion of independent directors, the two grades of chairman and general manager combined together, the top 5 largest shareholding ratio measured ownership concentration, the ultimate controlling shareholder for the Government measured the nature of equity, the Audit Committee of the settings, the proportion of senior management ownership and accruals measured earnings management, regarded as the explanatory variable indicators. The study found:the size of the board is significantly related to audit fees, the proportion of independent directors of listed companies and the Government of the ultimate controlling shareholder and the proportion of stocks held senior management was negatively correlated to the audit fees, and the existence of non-linear relationship between concentration of ownership and audit fees has been verified. The two level-one of chairman and general manager, the status of the Board of Auditors, earnings management are not significantly related to audit fees. Through empirical research results, when the auditors are determining the audit fees, they should take into account the impact of corporate governance structure.更多还原
