Abstract
The increasing demand for professional public accounting services requires the public accounting profession to improve its performance to produce audits that are reliable, used, and trusted by interested parties. This study aims to identify and analyze the effect of auditor ethics and professional skepticism on audit quality with remote audit as a moderating variable. This study uses primary data obtained from questionnaire data distributed to external auditor respondents who work at a Public Accounting Firm in the South Jakarta Region. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis techniques using SmartPLS 3.2.9 with a significance level of 5%. The results of this study indicate that partially, auditor ethics and auditor professional skepticism have a positive and significant effect on audit quality, while remote audit variables cannot moderate the influence between auditor ethics and auditor professional skepticism on audit quality.
期刊介绍:
Welfare states have made well-being one of the main focuses of public policies. Social policies entail, however, complicated, and sometimes almost insurmountable, issues of prioritization, measurement, problem evaluation or strategic and technical decision making concerning aim-setting or finding the most adequate means to ends. Given the pressures to effectiveness it is no wonder that the last several decades have witnessed the imposition of research-based social policies as standard as well as the development of policy-oriented research methodologies. Legitimate social policies are, in this context, more and more dependent on the accurate use of diagnostic methods, of sophisticated program evaluation approaches, of benchmarking and so on. Inspired by this acute interest, our journal aims to host primarily articles based on policy research and methodological approaches of policy topics. Our journal is open to sociologically informed contributions from anthropologists, psychologists, statisticians, economists, historians and political scientists. General theoretical papers are also welcomed if do not deviate from the interests stated above. The editors also welcome reviews of books that are relevant to the topics covered in the journal.
