countervailing relations between governance and audit fees, namely, a fee increase
because of exogenous changes in expected liability that require greater auditing and other
mechanisms to attain better governance, and a fee reduction because auditors reduce the
price of risk to reflect the benefits of such better governance.’
Most archival studies on this topic (explained further in Section 2) draw conclusions
based on audit fee models that assume, in effect, that governance affects auditing but not
the reverse. For example, Carcello et al. (2002) document a positive relation between audit
fees and board characteristics and conclude that stronger boards purchase more auditing
services, which increases fees. Tsui et al. (2001) find a negative relation between audit
fees and board characteristics and conclude that better governance reduces control risk,
which decreases fees. They also find that company growth opportunities moderate the
reduction in control risk.
