The money market plays a vital role in the global financial architecture as a provider of short-term liquidity and a primary channel for monetary policy transmission. This research is motivated by the rapid transformation of financial instruments, which now encompass conventional and Sharia-compliant sectors, as well as digital innovations such as e-money and stablecoins. The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of the money market, identify the diversity of modern instruments, and analyze their strategic role in economic stability through a qualitative literature review approach. The analysis shows that the money market is highly effective in managing bank cash reserves and controlling inflation by regulating the money supply. The presence of digital instruments has been proven to accelerate liquidity flows, while Sharia schemes provide transparent and equitable investment alternatives. However, the emergence of digital assets also brings challenges of volatility that require adaptive regulation and professional skepticism from market participants. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of synergy between monetary authorities and financial technology to address global disruption. Strengthening regulations on future instruments is expected to create a more inclusive and stable financial system that can respond precisely to economic shocks.

Auditors' compliance with the Public Accountant Professional Standards (SPAP) is the main concern in maintaining the quality and trust of the audit process, especially in the face of increasingly complicated audit tasks. This study aims to evaluate the level of integ-rity and skepticism of auditors in supporting compliance with SPAP. This study uses a de-scriptive qualitative approach with observation methods and document studies. The object of the research is the Public Accounting Firm Dra. Yati Ruhiyati, data was obtained from direct observation during the field professional practice period and analysis of relevant audit documents. The results of the study show that the integrity of auditors can be seen from consistency in carrying out audit stages, compliance with established procedures, and clarity in audit documents. The professional skepticism of auditors can be seen from the cautious attitude in evaluating audit evidence, including the application of additional checks before drawing conclusions. These findings show that compliance with SPAP is not only formal, but also highly dependent on the auditor's professional attitude. This study shows the importance of increasing the integrity and professional skepticism of auditors as part of efforts to improve quality and compliance in audit practices in Public Accounting Firms.

This study investigates the impact of auditor competence and red flag awareness on fraud detection ability, examining the moderating role of professional skepticism. As fraudulent financial reporting poses a critical threat to the integrity of financial disclosures and stakeholder trust, understanding the key factors influencing an auditor's detection capabilities is essential. This study employed a quantitative approach, gathering data from auditors at Public Accounting Firms (KAP) in Bali Province via a four-point Likert scale questionnaire. The data were subsequently analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 software. The findings indicate that both auditor competence and an awareness of red flags significantly and positively enhance fraud detection capabilities. Conversely, professional skepticism, when analyzed for its direct influence, demonstrated a significant negative effect on this ability. Furthermore, skepticism exhibited a complex moderating role: it significantly weakened the positive relationship between competence and fraud detection, while not significantly moderating the link between red flags and detection ability. These results provide crucial theoretical contributions by revealing the nuanced and sometimes counter-intuitive role of professional skepticism. Practically, they inform policy for audit firms and regulatory bodies, suggesting that while fostering competence and red flag awareness is vital, the application of skepticism requires a more sophisticated and refined approach to truly enhance audit quality and overall fraud detection effectiveness.

The study aims to analyze the influence of Self-esteem, narcissism, Knowledge Sharing, professional skepticism, and Educational Level on Auditor Performance. The research was conducted with auditors at the Public Accounting Firm Jojo Sunarjo & Partners to understand how psychological characteristics, professional behaviour, and educational background contribute to optimal auditor performance. The study included 202 active auditors. Data analysis was carried out using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach with SmartPLS version 4.0. The results show that Self-esteem, Knowledge Sharing, Professional Skepticism, and Educational Level positively influence Auditor Performance. Meanwhile, Narcissism has an adverse effect on Auditor Performance. These findings highlight the importance of personality traits and professional conduct in supporting the quality of auditor performance.

This study aims to synthesize the literature on cognitive bias in auditor decision-making from 2015–2025. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA framework, 50 scientific articles were systematically analyzed. A multi-level analysis was conducted to identify dominant types of biases, their influencing factors at the individual, organizational, and institutional levels, and effective mitigation strategies. The findings reveal four primary cognitive biases: anchoring, confirmation, overconfidence, and availability bias. Factors influencing the emergence of these biases include auditor experience and professional skepticism (micro-level), time pressure and organizational culture (meso-level), as well as professional regulations and the adoption of technology like AI (macro-level), which gives rise to automation bias. Identified mitigation strategies include bias-awareness training, the use of decision support tools, and strengthening professional skepticism through a supportive organizational culture. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of cognitive bias and offers practical implications for the development of training programs, professional policies, and audit system design in the digital era to enhance audit quality and objectivity.

This study is motivated by the ongoing digital transformation across various fields, including audit practices. The advancement of information technology has encouraged the adoption of various innovations, one of which is remote auditing, which allows audits to be conducted without direct face-to-face interaction with clients. At the same time, maintaining audit quality has become increasingly complex, requiring auditors to demonstrate a high level of professionalism, particularly in terms of professional skepticism. Auditor professionalism—including critical thinking skills, objectivity, and integrity—plays a crucial role in delivering high-quality audit outcomes. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of remote auditing and professional skepticism on audit quality in external audit firms located in the Surakarta area. This research uses a quantitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to external auditors selected using purposive sampling, focusing on those with experience in conducting remote audits. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the influence of each independent variable on audit quality. The results indicate that, partially, professional skepticism has a significant effect on audit quality. This finding suggests that the higher an auditor's level of professional skepticism, the better the quality of the audit produced. In contrast, remote auditing does not show a significant partial influence on audit quality. However, when analyzed simultaneously, both variables—remote auditing and professional skepticism—have a significant effect on audit quality. In other words, while the use of audit technology is important, human factors remain the primary determinant of audit effectiveness. The implications of this study encourage audit firms not only to invest in digital audit systems but also to place greater emphasis on enhancing the competence and professionalism of auditors.

This study aims to find empirical evidence regarding the influence of remote audits, Computer Assisted Audit Techniques, and Professional Skepticism on Audit Quality. This study utilizes a survey method by distributing questionnaires to auditors working for the Central Java Provincial Representative Audit Board (BPK). The sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a 10% error tolerance rate, resulting in 67 sample from 199 population. A probability sampling method with a simple random sampling procedure was applied to ensure equal selection opportunities. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive statistical approach in IBM SPSS version 27. The results evidence that remote audit has a significant and positive impact on audit quality. Similarly, CAATs and professional skepticism also significantly and positively affect audit quality. Moreover, these three variables collectively influence audit quality. The findings of this study provide insights for audit institutions to enhance audit quality by adopting remote auditing, utilizing CAATs, and fostering professional skepticism among auditors. This study contributes to the literature by empirically examining the simultaneous impact of remote auditing, CAATs, and professional skepticism on audit quality, particularly in the context of government audits in Indonesia.
