FERF's 16th Annual Audit Fee Survey and Insights Report is based on 95 survey responses from FEI Members across finance, accounting, governance, and audit roles, representing private companies, nonprofits, public entities, and government agencies. The survey and additional qualitative interviews were conducted from September 2025 through January 2026.

The report also benchmarks external audit fees for approximately 470 S&P 500 companies, using FY2024 data as reported by more than 4,000 SEC filers extracted from the Calcbench financial data platform (proxy-based audit fee disclosures). The analysis emphasizes median-based statistics, scale-adjusted fee intensity, and auditor segmentation to support professional benchmarking and interpretation.

This survey and research report was authored by John Minnich, CGMA, CPA, Founder and Executive Advisor at Minnich + Associates.
