Prior research hypothesizes that firm size is a determinant of good internal control (e.g., Kinney and McDaniel 1989; DeFond and Jiambalvo 1991) While large firms have more assets that must be controlled, they likely also have more financial reporting processes and procedures in place. Large firms also tend to have more employees and greater resources to spend on internal auditors or consulting fees, which may aid in the generation of strong internal control. For example, there is a strong positive association between non audit fees and firm size (e.g., Frankel et al. 2002).
