Abstract

This study uses a econometric model to assess how online interactions between investors and listed companies influence auditor selection. It observes auditor choice as a metric to gauge management's response to market reactions from information disclosed on investor-company platforms. Findings reveal that more effective online interactions lead to the selection of higher quality auditors, especially in companies with greater marketization and higher institutional investor shareholding ratios.
