These days, people distrust the accounting transparency of firms in Korea. It can .increase the capital costs and reduce profitability of firms. Auditors say that one of causes on the low grades of the accounting transparency is free contracts between auditors and firms. Firms want auditors take low audit fees. In principle, if auditors take low audit fees, they cannot input auditor resources to proper audit. However, there are not any empirical evidence about the relation between the audit fees dumping and the audit quality. This study defines dumping auditors if their audit fees are lower than the average of industries, and examines whether these auditors showed low audit qualities or not. As a result, firms which are audited by dumping auditors presented low abnormal accruals. We can interpret this result as that dumping auditors have low audit qualities. This result helps to make policies to improve the accounting transparency of firms.

The purpose of this paper is to find what factors have an influential effect on motive and intention of using the unethical negotiation tactics. It is interesting to find that opportunism was not related to unethical negotiation tactics such as inappropriate information gathering and competitive bargaining in our Korea's sample. On the other hand, idealism and Machiavellianism had positive impact on managers' perceptions of unethical negotiation tactics within our sample. To explain the environmental perspective, the lower level of legal punishment system encourages them to use the unethical tactics without hesitation. On the other hand, organizational goal might have not a related on the perception of unethical negotiation tactics. To reduce the potential risk of use of unethical negotiation in the international negotiation process, international negotiators should find the counterpart negotiator' character before attending negotiation table, and international managers would be better to employ a local agent who can understand local negotiating counterpart, so they can assist them in early stage of negotiation.
