新式查核報告為目前會計審計界之新變革,也是熱門的研究議題。而關鍵查核事項之溝通,是上市櫃公司之新式查核報告與以往查核報告最為不同的部分。本研究以裁決性壞帳作為財務報表盈餘品質之代理變數,探討關鍵查核事項之溝通,對財務報表盈餘品質及審計公費造成之影響,並進一步探討關鍵查核事項溝通之數量是否影響財務報表盈餘品質及審計公費,並以銀行業為本研究之研究樣本。實證結果顯示會計師於查核報告中溝通關鍵查核事項,以及關鍵查核事項溝通之數量,皆未對財務報表盈餘品質有顯著之影響。而在審計公費的影響方面,實證結果顯示關鍵查核事項之溝通對銀行業之審計公費影響為正向但不顯著,而關鍵查核事項溝通之數量對審計公費有正向影響。
