本研究旨在探討管理者酬勞水準及持股比例對審計公費與裁決性應計數之影響。 本研究目的在於了解管理當局是否因酬勞水準及持股比例影響計審計公費與裁決性應計數。當管理當局盈餘操縱的彈性越大,藉以檢測管理當局酬勞及持股集中程度,對會計師之獨立性是否造成不利的影響,進而影響審計公費。 實證結果顯示: 1.管理當局利用裁決性應計數來操控盈餘,會直接影響會計師的審計公費幅度,是為正向關係。 2.管理當局持股愈高,愈不需利用裁決性應計數來操控盈餘,故管理當局持股愈高會減弱裁決性應計數與審計公費正向關係。 3.管理當局酬勞愈高,無法證明裁決性應計數會愈高,故給付管理當局的酬勞水準愈高,不支持管理當局持股與裁決性應計數對審計公費的交互影響會由負轉正。 這些實證結論,在敏感性測試後並未改變,實證結果相當具有穩定性。 關鍵詞:管理者酬勞、管理者持股、審計公費、裁決性應計數。
This thesis studies the effect of the compensation level and share-holding rate of managerial to the audit fees and discretionary accruals. The research objective of this thesis is to understand whether the compensation level and share-holding rate of managerial affects the audit fees and discretionary accruals. If there is a greater elasticity of managerial earnings manipulation to the compensation level and share-holding rate of managerial, then whether it would affect the independent auditor’s audit fees and also cause any disadvantage effects. The experiment of this thesis concludes three points. 1.The way of using discretionary accruals to manipulate the earnings could directly affect the degree of the independent auditor’s audit fees. 2.The higher the share-holding rate of managerial, the lower possibility of using discretionary accruals to manipulate the earnings. That is, the higher the share-holding rate of managerial, the weaker positive direction of the discretionary accruals and audit fees. 3.There is no positive direction between the compensation of managerial and discretionary accruals. That is, if the compensation of managerial is high enough, the inter-effect of share-holding of managerial and discretionary accruals will turn from negative into positive direction. The conclusion of this thesis is that the three relationships are very stable, even examined by the sensitivity tests. Key Words: managerial Compensation, managerial Share-holding, Audit fees, Discretionary accruals.
