審計公費研究之主要障礙在於審計公費之取得,與過去研究最主要不同之處,本論文直接取得私立大專院校2001至2003學年度會計師查核財務報表之審計公費。研究結果證實假說一非營利事業組織會計師委任,採限制性招標審計公費高於公開招標下審計公費。
當非營利事業組織(私立大專院校)財務越趨穩健時其審計風險越低,會計師可以減少後續查核工作之進行以降低查核成本。結果支持假說二A及假說二B在較低審計風險及治理越好的學校審計公費較低,與假說二B預期一致。當客戶複雜度越高時會導致委任之會計師事務所須投入更多的審計努力與時間,甚至於投入更多的高級人力來執行查核工作。以大學組織及學校附屬作業組織規模代理複雜度,實證結果假說三一致,顯示非營利事業組織複雜度越高,委任會計師審計公費越高。
藉由排除專業的4大,比較非專業的4大與非4大,結果非專業的4大會計師事務所(BIG4)在定義專業為佔該產業審計公費15%以上時,結果與假說四A預期一致存有商標溢酬。在有專業會計師事務所的產業,非專業的4大會計師事務所其審計公費比非4大會計師事務所的審計公費高。用全體樣本進行實證,結果與分組樣本一致,在控制商標溢酬混淆不清的可能影響後,審計公費的差異可歸因於4大為產業專家時存有公費溢酬。為會計師事務所商標溢酬與產業專家的存在提供了額外的證據。
研究主要貢獻為增進對非營利組織審計公費決定因素瞭解,並證實商標溢酬及產業專家的存在。
This study collected first-hand audit fee data from audited financial statements of private colleges and universities for the 2001-2003 academic years. The empirical results support the first hypothesis (H1) that audit fees of NPOs would be higher when limited tendering procedures were carried out for auditor selections. As to the second hypothesis (H2), it is argued that auditors could reduce follow-up audit work to cut down audit costs since NPOs clients (private colleges and universities) pose a low audit risk with steady and strong financial structures. These results support our hypotheses H2a and H2b, that is, NPOs with lower business risk and better corporate governance are more likely to pay lower audit fees. The third hypothesis assumed that the more complicated the clients are, the more effort auditors would make to maintain a tolerable audit risk, one as low as possible. These results support our conjecture that an increase in relative audit fees is subject to an increase in the level of NPOs’ complexity.
By excluding the industry specialist Big 4, a comparable result is found to be consistent with our forth hypothesis (H4a). It shows that the auditor brand name premium exists between the non-specialist Big 4 and the non-Big 4 while the non-specialist Big 4 is defined as audit firms having their audit fees in that industry of less than 15 percent. In sum, we could conclude that differences in audit fee charges may be attributed to fee premiums for the specialist Big 4, and so provide additional evidence to sustain the auditor’s brand name premiums and industry specialist effect.
The main contributions of this research are not only to make a comprehensive understanding about the determinants of audit fees for NPOs, but also to empirically show both brand name premiums and the effects of industry specialists.
