- Efeito da proibição conjunta dos serviços de auditoria e não auditoria nos honorários de auditoriaPublication . Marques, Alexandre Pinto; Samagaio, AntónioOver the years, audit firms have attracted attention for being associated with poor financial reporting due to the poor quality of the audits performed. In order to enhance trust in auditors, Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 16 established a prohibition on the joint provision of audit services (AS) and non-audit services (NAS) by the same audit firm in public interest entities. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Regulation on audit fees. For this purpose, we used an unbalanced panel sample composed of companies listed on Euronext Lisbon in the period from 2012 to 2020. The results show that both in the overall analysis and in the particular analysis of the Big 4, with the prohibition of joint AS and NAS, audit fees have decreased. Nevertheless, we confirmed the premise that entities audited by Big 4 tend to incur higher SA fees.
