The modified Jones model is used to measure the earnings management. The audit pricing is a surrogate variable of audit pricing. The results suggest that the correlation between internal control and audit pricing is negative, earnings management has a significant positive impact on audit pricing, and the lower the internal control level, the more positive impact of earnings management on audit pricing.
