Abstract

This research aims to analyze whether female audit engagement partners offer higher audit quality than
male audit engagement partners. The results show that companies which are audited by female  engagement partners have no significant associations with audit quality. Meanwhile, it also shows that
female audit engagement partners offer higher audit quality with a positive significant correlation for high growth companies. Interestingly, we also found that female audit engagement partners in Big4 accounting firms have negatively significant correlation with audit quality.
