Is there any auditor's trust to the clients in the the field of audit which is in contrast to the Professional skepticism? Using data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2011, this paper explor the relation between the intensity index of trust and the audit fees, and then explains whether there is auditor's trust to the clients in the auditing activities. On the whole,the result of study reveals that there is a significant negative correlation between the auditor's index of rational trust and the audit fees, but there is no significant positive association between the auditor's index of individual trust and the audit fees.Thus it can be thought that, there exists auditor's trust to the clients stemming from the rationality in the auditing activities, but there is no evidence showing that the auditor has individual turst to the clients in the audit because of the long familarity with the clients.
