内容简介：
    We analyze audit fees and audit risk to extract auditors` assessment of family-firm`s financial reporting quality. Relative to non-family firms, we find that auditors chargefamily firms significantly less, and the fee difference shrinks in magnitude when family firms have high audit risk. Using constructs for audit and audit effort, we show that family firms have lower audit risk, and that their auditors work less to provide assurance. Our findings suggest that supior reporting quality lowers audit risk and the need for greater audit investments, which is why auditors charge family firms less.
