The results show that auditors spend more audit hours and pay higher audit fees for group-affiliated firms than for other firms. Furthermore, when a group-affiliated client is economically significant to the auditors' total revenue, higher audit fees are largely explained by increased audit effort.
Hyejung Lee
This suggests that the extent of the risk premium attributed to group affiliates may be limited by the bargaining power of client firms, especially in a competitive audit market such as Korea. Drawing on agency and organizational behavior theories, this mixed-methods study involved the development and field use of a psychometrically robust measure of director financial literacy (DFL) and interviews with directors to explore how they develop and use this ability for financial control.
