Introduction

Economic globalization has enabled the securities market to develop rapidly, but with it comes the stock price crash caused by the significant increase in the frequency of stock price fluctuations, the orderly operation of investors’ personal wealth, the efficiency of social resource allocation, and even the entire capital market, which have a huge impact.

This article attempts to test whether it can be used as an early warning signal of the company’s stock price collapse risk from the perspective of abnormal audit fees
