The study infers that disclosing key audit matters reduce the information asymmetry, between managers and other stakeholders, and induce institutional investors to increase their investment. The empirical results reveal that the dummy variables of key audit matters is significantly positive- correlated with the changes in institutional investors' shareholdings, indicating that the disclosure of key auditing matters will increase institutional investors' shareholdings. In addition, this study conducts several sensitivity tests, including replacing the dummy variable of key audit matters with the word-count of key audit matters test, and the number of key audit matters test. All of these sensitivity tests support the hypothesis of this study.
