This paper focuses on the reform of accounting standards in China in 2007 and investigates its impact on equilibrium pricing in the audit market. We find that the concentration of the audit market and the probability of issuing modified audit opinions do not significantly change, but that audit fees increase significantly after the adoption of the new accounting standards in China. Deeper analysis suggests that(1) the implementation of the new IFRS-based Chinese Accounting Standards(CASs) has increased the market risk faced by listed firms and thus auditors’ expected audit risk, causing an increase in audit fees,and(2) the degree of the increase in audit fees is positively related to the adjusted difference between net income according to the old CAS before2007 and the new CAS after 2007. We thus conclude that the reform has had a significant impact on audit pricing in China.

单以森林覆盖率看,1970年代上海的森林覆盖率是1.3%,到2006年底达到11.63%,如今正在向20%进军。如果上海能达到更高的森林覆盖率,无疑,将实现整个城市成为一座大公园。  “奉贤的中央林地要加入森林公园的概念,注重自然、野趣,可与辰山植物园进行共建。”3月,上海市绿化市容局局长陆月星到奉贤调研,他建议奉贤尽快落地绿林计划,并分析称,林业政策已落定,有了新的突破,生态补偿的标准有所提高。
