Francis et al.(1999)以美國審計環境為例,認為應計數愈高的公司,管理當局操縱盈餘的空間也就愈大。因此,管理當局為了降低與股東之間的代理成本,即選擇四大會計師事務所進行查核。另外,四大會計師事務所基於「聲譽假說」及「深口袋假說」,
其審計品質優於非四大會計師事務所審計品質。

然而,會計師事務所選擇及其審計品質,會隨著世界各國文化、政治、經濟因素而有所不同,促使各國的學者以當地的環境作實證研究。其結果指出,股權比例愈分散、負債比例愈高、管理者持股比率愈低的公司,大致上愈易選擇大型會計師事務所進行查核。但也有其他學者的實證結果指出,大型會計師事務所的審計品質不一定優於非大型會計師事務所的審計品質。

因此,本研究仿照美國Francis et al.(1999)及其他國家學者的研究,並說明台灣的投資環境與審計環境迥異於美國及其他國家情形下,推導出本研究之研究假說及研究模型。其實證結果指出,客戶應計數愈高,不一定會選擇四大會計師事務所,且四大會計師事務所的審計品質未明顯優於非四大會計師事務所的審計品質。
Taking America audit environment for example, Francis et al.(1999) believes that once the company has more accruals, managers will manipulate earnings more seriously. Hence, company would like to reduce agency costs between manager and stockholder. It means that company chooses Big4 to audit. Further, based on reputation hypothesis and deep pocket hypothesis, audit quality of Big4 is better than audit quality of Non-Big4.

However, auditor choice and audit quality will influenced by politics, culture, economics. And it also prompts scholars from different countries to do empirical study depending upon local environment. Their results indicate more dispersed shareholders, higher leverage, lower manager ownership, then company are likely to choose Big4. But some empirical results suggest that audit quality of Big4 isn’t better than audit quality of Non-Big4.

Therefore, this study followed Francis et al.(1999), and referred other studies from different countries, attempted to account for Taiwan investment environment and audit environment, to build this study hypothesis and model. The empirical results indicate that a company has more accruals, it may not choose Big4. And audit quality of Big4 isn’t better than audit quality of Non-Big4.
