Abstract
This research aims to study effect of auditor’s work stress on audit quality. The study uses multiple regression analysis to analyze the data from annual reports of listed companies of SET100 in The Stock Exchange of Thailand from 2017 to 2019, totally 213 firm-year observations. Auditor’s work stress is measured by the average of all total assets of the firms audited by all their auditors, while audit quality is measured by the ratio of audit fee to total assets. Results show that auditor’s work stress negatively affects audit quality. The study suggests that a CPA firm should give more attention to auditor’s work stress and allocates appropriate resources to ensure that the firm can maintain audit quality.
