1. Talent Shortage: The auditing industry is facing a shortage of skilled professionals, particularly in specialized areas such as data analytics and cybersecurity. The shortage of talent can limit the capacity of auditing firms to meet the growing demand for their services and may impact the quality of the audits performed.

2. Fee Pressure: Clients are increasingly seeking cost-effective auditing services, leading to fee pressure on auditing firms. This can affect the profitability of auditing services and may lead to compromises in the quality and depth of the audits performed, as firms seek to reduce costs to remain competitive.

3. Liability Risks: Auditing firms face increasing liability risks, particularly in the face of growing regulatory scrutiny and legal actions. The potential for large legal settlements and damage to reputation can act as a restraint on the growth and expansion of auditing services, as firms seek to manage their exposure to liability risks.
