Abstract
This study of Chinese listed firms uncovers a U-shaped relationship between CSR decoupling and audit fees. These findings are robust with an alternative measure and an instrumental variable. The relationship is more pronounced in firms with higher operational risk and information asymmetry. As such, this study reconciles conflicting literature on the economic consequences of CSR decoupling and contributes to the research on audit fees.
