Abstract

Enterprise innovation is accompanied by many uncertainties. This article studies the influence of enterprise innovation on auditor behaviors (e.g., fees, opinions, and quality). The results show that auditors tend to charge higher fees with increased enterprise innovation, but they are not inclined to issue non-standard opinions. Indeed, auditors will improve quality to cope with innovation, leading to decreased earnings management. The research on the economic consequences of enterprise innovation and auditor behavior has been expanded, which provides relevant references for businesses and authorities.
