This study examines the impact of the first mandatory corporate governance regulation in the Greek environment on audit quality. Audit quality is operationalized with the number of audit qualifications, the monetary amount of audit qualifications, audit hours, and audit fees. It also utilizes the full content of the Greek audit report and constructs new audit quality proxies while it is the first that examines the association between corporate governance and actual audit hours. The findings suggest that following the implementation of the new regulation, auditors became more independent during the audit opinion process. Furthermore, the audit fee increases without audit hours showing a respective increase. It is concluded that the audit fee increase does not reflect differentiation in the delivered audit quality, as auditors do not exert more audit effort. The audit fee increase could reflect a risk premium due to the increase in auditors’ perceived business risk as a result of the increased spending and additional liability of listed companies under the new regulation.

The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the characteristics of the board of directors and the likelihood that a company receives a modified audit opinion (as a measure of the quality of companies external financial reporting) in Malaysia. To test our hypotheses, we use the pooled cross-sectional logistic regression analysis for 136 firm-year observations listed on Bursa Malaysia over the period 2009-2011.The evidence we uncover is consistent with the hypotheses that companies with large board size and greater financial expertise of the board of directors are less possible to receive a modified audit opinion. The evidence offers by this study reinforces the listing rules of the Malaysian-Corporate-Governance Code and the requirements of the Bursa Malaysia Corporate-Governance-Guide, which consider the significance of the board of directors as an aspect of good corporate governance to its critical role in the Malaysian financial reporting process.
