(Inglês) The impact of the dimension of the audit firm on the cost of debt of the small Portuguese companies with voluntary audit
Abstract/Resumo
For specific Portuguese small companies is not mandatory to have their financial statements audited. Measuring the audit quality by the dimension of the audit firm, I analyse the impact of voluntary audit by Big 4 firms on the cost of debt of Portuguese small companies. I find evidence, that it cannot be concluded that the audit quality measured by the dimension of the audit firm influences the cost of debt of the voluntary audited companies. This may be due to the fact that on small firms, the quality differences between large and small audit firms decreased when the risk of litigation is weak and therefore what matter is the audit and not the auditor.
