Abstract [sv]

Vid val av revisionsbyrå är det flera interna och externa faktorer som är av betydande roll för bolag. Studiens syfte är att undersöka ifall det finns några skillnader vid val av revisionsbyrå för små- och stora fastighetsbolag i Sverige. Mer detaljerat syftar studien på att undersöka ifall revisionsbyråer tillhörandes Big Four förkommer mer frekvent för någon av de två storleksgrupperna förenat med olika faktorer. Studien är gjord genom analys av kvantitativ data där olika nyckeltal samlats in från de 100 största och minsta fastighetsbolagen i Sverige sett ur omsättning. Som teoretisk referensram har agentteorin använts. Teorin har kompletterats av olika vetenskapliga studier som sammanfattats i en litteraturöversikt. Genom teoretisk referensram och litteraturöversikt har studiens tre hypoteser bildats som det redogörs för i hypotesbildningen. I studiens resultat redogörs det för att de olika faktorer som undersökts i samband med val av revisionsbyrå inte har något positivt samband med varandra. Slutsatsen förtydligar att val av revisionsbyrå tillhörandes Big Four inte förekommer mer frekvent i vare sig små eller stora svenska fastighetsbolag.
