Consistent with our framework, we find a significant positive relation between audit
fees and several measures of governance because, in effect, auditing is one mechanism
of governance and/or is positively correlated with similar mechanisms. We also find a
significant negative relation between governance and audit fees, not because auditing
affects governance (a positive relation), but because auditing as a governance mechanism
affects the interaction of governance and audit risk (a negative relation). We base our
results mostly on an instrumental variable derived from the components of the corporate
governance G-index, as outlined in Gompers et al. (2003). We draw similar conclusions
when we test our hypotheses based on governance alternatives such as board or audit
committee independence.
