Abstract

This paper takes listed companies from 2014 to 2018 as a research sample. The results show that the independent audit opinion will affect the trade credit decision of the supplier to the enterprise. A good institutional environment can weaken the impact of non-standard independent audit opinion on the cost and scale of trade credit. And good industry environment can weaken the positive correlation between non-standard independent audit opinion and trade credit cost.
