| Abstract: | The research examines the differences in materiality estimates for a sample of 181 experienced auditors for Big-Six firms located in Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Sweden, The Netherlands, and the UK. The authors asked each auditor to estimate materiality for a client whose integrity his/her firm rated as either high or low (Ir. Account. Rev. 1, 1994, 1). The research found that low client-integrity ratings resulted in lower materiality estimates for the European auditors. |
