And the difference (no difference) effect of audit fees (abnormal fees and managerial overconfience) depends on audit office size or its industrial specialization. By conducting the additional analysis, it found no effect (effect) for audit office size (its industrial specialization) as a control variable, on auditor's opinion accuracy regarding going concern. And by conducting a sensitivity test, it found similar results by using basic and alternative proxy to meaure auditor's opinion accuracy regarding going concern, reflecting the robustness of the results.Recommentions: Based on the previous findings, the research recommends that those in charge of the Egyptian auditing standards should keep pace with the amendments made to the International Auditing and Assurance Standards about the going concern, in order to increase the usefulness of the information contained in the financial reports.
