| Abstract: | This study examines how client rist factors and the provision of additional services affect engagement planning and bid pricing for a set of initial engagement proposals that a single firm submitted to its prospective clients in 1997-1998. Results reveal a relatively small fee premium for additional services clients across all bids, byt analysis of accepted vs. rejected bids implies that this premium is bid away in the market. |
