This chapter examines the effects of provision of different types of non-audit services on perceived auditor independence from the perspective of Malaysian capital market participants. The globalisation of the accounting profession and the subsequent increase in competitiveness and the need to survive has forced many auditing firms to diversify into non-audit services and has created 'the multidisciplinary nature of large audit firms'(Michael, 2014; Alexander and Hay, 2013; Brierley and Gwilliam, 2003; Michael, 2014).

The objective of this chapter is to examine the effects of the joint provision of audit and non-audit services on perceived auditor independence from the perspective of senior managers of audit firms, loan officers and public listed companies in Malaysia. The effect of join provision of audit and non-audit services might be different when auditor perform the services based on their available resources.
