Abstract


This study aims to obtain empirical evidence regarding the  association between Audit Fee Stickiness (which is divided into Upward and Downward stickiness) with Audit Quality. Audit fee stickiness is  measured by capturing  the percentage change in actual audit fees in reaction to a 1% increase or decrease in expected audit fees. Whereas audit quality is measured by discretionary accruals using the model of Modified Jones. 652 samples were selected from listed companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2014 – 2018. The research finding shows that audit fees are less sticky upward in Indonesia. Whereas less sticky upward of audit fees positively associated with audit quality and less sticky downward of audit fees were negatively associated with audit quality.
