The complexity of audit committee experience, including the overseas experience, has an important impact on corporate governance. In this paper, we study the impact of the overseas experiences of the members of audit committee on audit fees. Our empirical analysis and results show that the audit committee overseas experience can significantly increase audit fees. Further, the positive influence of the audit committee overseas experience on audit fees is more pronounced in state-owned enterprises and regions with weak marketization. In addition, we divide the overseas experience into overseas learning experience and overseas working experience. We find that both types of experience present in the audit committee significantly increase the audit fees. Finally, we find that the audit committee overseas experience can significantly improve the quality of accounting information and play a positive role in corporate governance.

As well as highlighting the impact of the audit expectations gap (AEG) in assessing the extent to which accounting information can be relied upon based on given market values and its impact on assessing how a relationship or pattern could be established in certain jurisdictions, this chapter is aimed at contributing to the literature on how accounting information could be interpreted or conveyed in such a way as to serve as a useful and vital indicator which will enable investors to interpret financial information in such a way which mitigates information asymmetries between management and investors. It also elaborates on factors which could affect the quality of accounting information – by way of reference to contributing elements of the audit expectations gap. As a result, it recommends measures aimed at addressing issues being faced by jurisdictions which have implemented accounting and legislative reforms as a means of improving the quality of accounting information.
