A new measure of accounting quality. Hribar, P., Kravet, T., & Wilson, R. Review of Accounting Studies, 19(1):506--538, 2014. ![A new measure of accounting quality [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex This study develops a measure of accounting quality based on audit fees. Adopting a neoclassical view of the audit market, we argue that unexplained audit fees should contain information about accounting quality. We find that our measure of unexplained audit fees correlates positively with other empirical measures of quality. We further show that our measure of accounting quality is incrementally predictive of fraud, restatements, and SEC comment letters, controlling for other measures of quality. Overall, we believe that the information in audit fees can be used to provide an alternative measure of a firm's accounting quality. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
