ABSTRACT

Taking my country's Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2003 to 2018 as a research sample, this paper empirically analyzes the influence of firm size on audit quality, and the moderating effect of corporate strategy deviation between the two. The research results show that: First, there is a significant positive correlation between the size of the firm and the quality of corporate auditing, that is, the larger the scale of the accounting firm, the lower the manipulability accrued profit of the audited entity, and the higher the audit quality; second, the strategy The degree of deviation will weaken the positive correlation between the size of the accounting firm and audit quality.
