Abstract

Audit quality is one of the most important concerns of audit firms, statutory audit regulators and academia. The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the influence of auditor independence indicators on the quality of services provided. Based on the data available in the Audit Analytics database, a sample of 31 companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange was selected, for which 124 observations were reported during four consecutive years. The results of the quantitative analysis performed demonstrated the existence of a significant and positive correlation between the variables that measure auditor independence, such as the provision of non-audit services, financial independence, Big 4 membership and turnover and the dependent variable - the quality of audit services.
