It shows that the size paired with audit firms was similar. The study utilizes regression analysis to investigate the relation between professional training in the audit firms and their organizational-level outcomes and compare the difference between having professional training and non-professional training. The main results of study are stated as follows: 1. The relation between the professional training of all the nationwide-sized, region-sized and personal-sized audit firms and organizational-level outcomes is positive and significant. 2.When it comes to differentiation between having professional training and non-professional training, for nationwide-sized audit firms, the relation between having professional training and organizational-level outcomes is positive but insignificant. It is perspicuous that the professional training has few effects on nationwide-sized audit firms.；For region-sized and personal-sized audit firms, the relation between non professional training and organizational-level outcomes is negative and significant. It means when region-sized and personal-sized audit firms do not provide professional training, their organization-level outcomes is better than providing professional training, but professional training is still useful for organization-level outcomes.
