The auditing profession is a major concern for stakeholders and has been in a quagmire for the past years. To overcome the concern, client firms must take the initiative to assure that the management does not put pressure on the external auditors. Therefore, firms need to take part in positively influencing external auditors‟ independence to reduce the complexity of audit procedures, and consequently, improve external auditors‟ independence. Thus, the determinants of factors are needed to assure and maintain the independence of the external auditors at any time to perform their audit work. Hence, the main objective of this study is to examine the determinants of external auditors‟ independence among politically connected firms in Malaysia. The determinants are classified into two which are, first, auditor attributes namely, audit tenure and non-audit fee, and second, audit committee characteristics which consist of audit committee‟s independence and audit committee‟s diligence. Four hypotheses were developed and tested using a total of 46 sample firms from 2014 to 2018 with 230 firm-year observations. This study used secondary data from which the information was obtained from annual reports and DataStream. The results reveal that non-audit fee and audit committee‟s diligence influenced external auditors‟ independence, whereas audit tenure and audit committee‟s independence did not. Altogether, this study has provided useful information and implications for the professional bodies and Bursa Malaysia to help strengthen the principles of auditors‟ independence in politically connected firms.

Audit Fee

The persistent cases of corporate accounting scandals which have rocked the Nigerian banking sector in spite of auditor certification of financial statements as free from material error have raised concern not only on the effectiveness of audit committees but also on audit services despite the huge amount charged on their clients. Hence, this study examined the effect of audit committee effectiveness on audit fee of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. Using an ex-post facto research design, the data sourced through the annual reports of twelve (12) banks for the period between 2012 and 2018 were analysed using random-effect regression analysis. The result of the study revealed that audit committee effectiveness proxy with audit committee audit committee expertise (t-value =3.22 & p-value = 0.000), audit committee diligence (t-value = 3.57, & p-value = 0.000) and audit committee gender diversity (t-value = 3.85 & p-value =0.000) has significant positive effect on audit fee of listed deposit money banks in Nigeria. This implies that an effective audit committee would demand for high audit quality service from the auditor, thereby increasing the audit efforts and time which subsequently result to higher audit fee. The study concluded that an effective audit committee would demand high audit service from the external auditor thereby ensuring that the financial statement published is relevant and of faithful representation.
