Project Details
Description
The purpose of this study is to extend the audit-fees research paradigm that tests the relation between company-specific characteristics (e.g., size, risk, among others) and audit fees. In particular, this study empirically investigates the economic factors that may determinate audit fees paid by companies listed on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul). Economic and financial data used in this study will be collected from the annual reports published by the financial and nonfinancial companies listed on Tadawul, as well as from audit companies in Saudi Arabia. This studys findings should have important implications for professionals, regulators, and as well as policy-makers, not only in Saudi Arabia, and in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) economies, but also in developing and Middle East countries, that have similar socio-cultural environment.
