The purpose of this research is to examines the effect of the audit offer and simultaneous tax services from auditors on the firm value of clients. To test this hypothesis, we used the samples of the auditors' tax services selected from firms listed on the securities markets of Korea. We use the methodology of regression analysis. The major findings are as follows. First, TAX_SER has a positive relationship with the firm value. The knowledge and experience resulting from the offer of audit services are applied to the process of offering tax services to enhance the professionalism of audit and tax services. Second, the analysis was performed to determine if the type of tax services from auditors and the type of listed markets make any difference in the effect of TAX_SER1 on TQ; the study has revealed that only tax adjustment has a positive effect on TQ in the type of tax services. Depending on the type of listed markets, TAX_SER1 has been found to have a differential effect on the firm value. The results show that investors might decide to invest in those firms where the auditor could increase the firm value through audit and tax services.

The research model comprises of one dependent variable that is income-decreasing accounting procedures and six independent variables namely the firm size, financial leverage, incentives, auditor, accountants, and tax policies. After this, the authors collected primary data from more than 200 questionnaires sent to directors and chief accountants of the SMEs for the period 2018 to 2019. We then used Ordinary Least Squares regression method (OLS) to analyze the data.

본 연구는 경영전략 상 신제품 또는 R&D비용 관련 고유위험을 가진 선도형 기업이 회계감사시간에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하며, 더 나아가 직급별 감사시간에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석한다. 표본은 유가증권 및 코스닥 상장기업을 대상으로 2018년부터 2019년 표본을 이용하여 실증분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 선도형 기업의 고유위험을 감사인이 인지하고 감사품질을 높이기 위해 노력하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 감사팀 내 직급과 역할에 따라 상응하는 위험정도가 다르기 때문에 위험정도가 높은 핵심직급에서 더 높은 노력을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 기업의 경영전략 유형이 재무보고품질이나 조세회피 등과 같은 기업 내부적 요인이 아닌 외부 관계자인 감사인의 감사노력과 자원투입에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 검증하는데 연구의 의의가 있다. 또한 감사품질 제고를 위한 정책과 제도를 마련하는 데 있어, 기업의 경영전략이 중요한 고려 요소가 될 수 있다는 중요한 함의를 갖는다.
