The study examines the relationship between non-audit services (NAS) and auditor independence in construction companies in Malaysia. The study also considers other control variables that contribute to the independence of auditor such as leverage, big4, loss, family firm, auditor ethnicity, capital intensity, audit fee and audit committee independence. The study employs descriptive analysis, univariate tests and multivariate regression to investigate the potential effect of NAS on auditor independence. The data for NAS and other control variables were hand collected from annual reports downloaded from Bursa Malaysia’s website.
