Abstract

Usually, industry competition helps to improve audit quality, but on what types of competition in the industry enterprise audit quality promotion is unclear. This paper attempts to analyze the enterprises according to the state of operation, so as to analyze how the industry competition affects the stability of the contract of different types of enterprises, thus affecting the audit quality. This paper argues that the competition of the industry will result in a stable contractual relationship between the well-run enterprises and large-scale audit firms, while the firms with poor performance are more likely to form stable contractual relationships with smaller audit firms.
