Abstract

This paper investigates the reasons for supply of Non-Audit Services (NAS) by the incumbent auditor.The audit and nonaudit fee data for listed companies in New Zealand is used in the study. The results suggest that the simultaneous provision of audit and NAS are for efficiency reasons rather than maximizing the revenue for auditors. Hence the regulations in place to restrict the amount of NAS that an auditor can provide the client may result in inefficiencies or incurrence of unnecessary costs for the client and auditor.
