Abstract :
The present study investigates the relationship between board of directors, CEO and financial non-executive member of the board narcissism with performance monitoring costs. Theoretically, firms with narcissistic manager have a higher risk of inherent risk and control risk Compared to other firms. Therefore, auditors must do additional work to maintain an acceptable level of audit risk when faced with such managers, and ultimately will demand more fees. To measure narcissism is used of the area of managers’ signatures. In this regard, 101 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange have been investigated in the period of 8 years during the years 2009-2017. The present research is an applied research in terms of purpose, and in terms of research method, descriptive-correlation is considered. The results of the research show that there is significant relationship between board of directors' narcissism (based on signature size) and audit fees. However, no significant relationship was found between the CEO and the financial non-executive member of the board narcissism with audit fees.
