Unlike the previous studies, we include both the accounting and the non-accounting factors, and test the explanatory power of the following six variables: (1) the growth , (2) the size (3) the sinking fund, (4) the risk (with or without guarantee), (5) the maturity structure and, (6) the auditor’s judgement.
