  1. This table presents the heterogeneous regression results examining the impact of the adequacy of digital audit talent (\(IT\)) on the level of detection risk (\(DR\)) across accounting firms of different sizes. Column (1) : Represents large firms with annual revenue ≥ median. Column (2): Represents small firms with annual revenue < median. In large firms, the adequacy of digital audit talent \(\left( {IT} \right)\) is positively associated with the level of detection risk (\(DR\)) (coefficient = 0.535***), while in small firms, it is negatively associated (coefficient = − 0.149*), indicating size-dependent heterogeneity in the relationship.
