Given that disclosure domain quality of accounting information, documentation and clarification by the client after the issuance of the draft report and the client's attempt to justify the auditor are effective factors in disclosure domain quality, since increased disclosure quality has improved the financial reporting as well as the quality of the auditors' opinion. Increasing the quality can provide the necessary background for ease of implementation of the audit process, reduce audit risks, and ultimately reduce the auditors 'pessimism to the investigative body, each of which can more accurately report auditors' reports more qualitatively.
