The empirical research shows that audit quality has a positive impact on the investment performance of listed companies in China, which can reduce the earnings management behavior of listed companies, and excessive earnings management behavior is not conducive to good investment performance of companies. Earnings management can play a part of intermediary effect between audit quality and investment performance.
