Paper Summary

The study looked at how audit fees are affected when companies hire two independent auditors instead of one. They found that hiring two Big 4 auditors doesn't necessarily cost more than hiring one Big 4 auditor with a smaller one. This means that choosing two Big 4 auditors can be a smart choice for large and international companies.
