Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 會計學研究所 === 84 === The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between audit opinion and financial variables. In the first stage of the research, firms listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange are separated into two groups, the unqualified opinion group and the others.I then compare the means of twenty financial variables between the two groups.In the second stage, I develop a logistic model with types of audit opinion as dependent variable and selected financial variables as independent variables. The findings of this study are as follows: 1.The trend of numbers that listed and public companies received qualified opinions was correlated with the GAAPs'''' announcement. 2.Mean different tests show that except for net worth turn over ratio, the means of all the other variables are significantly different between the two groups. 3.The results of the tests based on the logistic model indicate that the following four of the selected financial variables have significant influence in explaining the types of audit opinion: the total asset turnover, the net worth to total debts, the current assets ratio, and the dummy indicating a net loss for the current year.
