Abstract

This study aims to identify factors affecting auditors’ intention to use blockchain among the Big Four firms. The research proposes an extended technology acceptance model by integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) with innovation diffusion theory (IDT). A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing questionnaires to collect data from 130 auditors working at the Big Four. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).
