Abstract

This article inspects the likely outcome of using the fair value (FV) concept on audit firms’ anomalous audit fees. The research performs fixed effects regression to evaluate the given hypotheses using data gathered by hand from 105 Jordanian publicly traded enterprises between 2005 and 2018. The study reveals that FV proxies have a favorable and substantial effect on the atypical audit fees paid by Jordanian enterprises. The findings are more evident for businesses with a higher percentage of subjective FVs (level 3 assets). This research gives current empirical information on the effects of adopting IFRS/IAS for policymakers and standard setters. The results contribute by offering recommendations on the factors that influence audit fees for auditors and clients. The present research updates the Fair Value Disclosure (FVD) auditing model and adds new empirical data to close a gap in the auditing literature. It adds to the limited and inconclusive audit price studies already available by examining the post-implementation of FVD. This research gives current empirical facts on the consequences of adopting an FV model in Jordan for policymakers and standard setters. Additionally, this investigation adds by offering information on the factors that influence audit fees for both auditors and clients. The findings provide regulatory authorities with information on observing and regulating the audit vocation as well as on auditing FVD activities.
