This study aims to explain and reconstruct the notion of auditor professionalism beyond the reasoning framework found in the accountants’ code of ethics. The reconstruction is carried out by redefining auditor professionalism through the integration of moral reasoning and the values derived from QS. Al-Isra (36), as a response to the issue of fraud disclosure. The research adopts a non-technical perspective on auditor professionalism. Accordingly, the appropriate method for this study is Theoretical Triangulation, namely testing auditor professionalism from the perspective of moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36). Specifically, the research begins by utilizing three sources of values: the Handbook of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, principles of moral reasoning, and the guidance in QS. Al-Isra (36). Second, the study identifies the limitations of conventional interpretations of auditor professionalism when examined solely from ethical codes, and further analyzes how moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36) enrich this perspective. Third, the concept of auditor professionalism is reconstructed in a holistic manner. Finally, the study concludes whether moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36) are interrelated with the auditors’ professionalism in uncovering fraud. Ultimately, this article proposes a revised conception of auditor professionalism. By incorporating moral reasoning and QS. Al-Isra (36), auditor professionalism is envisioned as transcending rationalism and materialism. It is defined as a commitment to uphold the accountants’ code of ethics, grounded in justice and virtue, with an awareness that every action will be held accountable in the hereafter.

This study aims to analyze the influence of auditor experience and professionalism on the ability to detect audit conditions in Public Accounting Firms (KAP) in South Jakarta. The background of this study is based on the important role of auditors in ensuring the integrity of financial statements and preventing financial practices that can harm various parties, including investors, shareholders, and regulators. In an increasingly complex business world, layout practices are increasingly difficult to detect without adequate professional skills. Therefore, factors such as auditor experience and professionalism are crucial in supporting audit quality. This study used a survey method with a questionnaire instrument distributed to auditors working at several KAPs in the study area. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software to test the proposed hypotheses. The results showed that auditor experience significantly influenced the ability to detect audit conditions, indicating that the greater the auditor's work experience, the sharper their ability to identify indications of conditions. In addition, auditor professionalism was also proven to have a positive effect on the detection of audit conditions. Aspects such as responsibility, objectivity, competence, and commitment to professional ethics are important foundations for an effective and independent audit process. These findings indicate that integrity, responsibility, and adherence to professional standards are important factors supporting audit effectiveness. This research is expected to serve as a reference for public accounting firms (KAPs) in improving audit quality through competency development, ongoing training, and upholding auditor professional ethics in the workplace. This study also recommends the need for ongoing training to increase auditor sensitivity to increasingly complex conditions.

This study aims to investigate the influence of workload, competence, and red flags on auditors' ability to detect financial statement fraud. Fraud detection is a crucial aspect of the audit process, especially amidst increasing business complexity and pressure on the integrity of financial reporting. This study was conducted on 104 external auditors working at 12 Public Accounting Firms (KAP) operating in the Bekasi area. Respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique, namely selecting samples based on certain criteria relevant to the research objectives. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires compiled based on research variable indicators, then analyzed using hypothesis testing with the help of SPSS Statistics software version 26. The results of the analysis indicate that partially, the variables of workload and red flags have a negative influence on auditors' ability to detect financial statement fraud. This indicates that auditors with high workloads or who do not accurately identify red flags have a lower tendency to detect fraud. Conversely, auditor competence shows a significant positive influence on fraud detection ability. Auditors who have adequate knowledge, skills, and experience tend to be more capable of identifying and analyzing indications of fraud in financial statements. Simultaneously, the three independent variables—workload, competence, and red flags—significantly influence auditors' ability to detect financial statement fraud. This finding underscores the importance of managing auditor workload, improving competence through ongoing training, and developing a thorough understanding of red flag indicators to enhance audit effectiveness and financial statement quality. This research is expected to contribute to the development of audit practices and the enhancement of auditor professionalism in Indonesia.

This study aims to test and analyze the influence of independence, task complexity, and auditor experience on audit judgment. Audit judgment is one of the important components in the audit process that determines the quality of audit report results. The better the auditor's consideration, the higher the level of reliability of the audited financial statements. This research was conducted at Public Accounting Firms (KAP) operating in the Bekasi area. The variables used in this study consisted of audit judgment as a dependent variable, and independence, task complexity, and auditor experience as independent variables. The sampling technique was carried out using a non-probability sampling method, using a purposive sampling approach. The sample obtained was 12 companies with a total of 76 auditor respondents. The analysis method used is Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) by measuring three stages: outer model test, inner model test, and hypothesis test. The results of the study show that the three independent variables, namely independence, task complexity, and auditor experience, have a positive and significant influence on audit judgment. This means that the higher the level of auditor independence, the more complex the tasks handled, and the more experience the auditor has, the better the audit considerations will be in the audit decision-making process. The implications of this study underscore the importance of maintaining and improving the quality of auditor professionalism, through continuous training, increasing flight hours, and maintaining an independent attitude in carrying out the audit process. In addition, the organization is also expected to provide adequate support for the sustainable development of auditor competencies. It is hoped that these findings can be an input for public accounting firms and related institutions in improving the quality of financial audit results and strengthening public trust in the auditor profession.

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 focuses on analyzing the factors influencing auditor switching in telecommunications companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period, by examining the variables of management turnover, audit committee, financial distress, auditor reputation, and audit fees. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach utilizing secondary data in the form of annual financial reports. The sample size was determined using a purposive sampling technique for 55 companies. Auditor switching served as the dependent variable, measured by a dummy variable, while the other five variables served as independent variables. The analysis results indicate that none of the independent variables significantly influenced auditor switching decisions. This suggests that auditor switching decisions in companies are more influenced by strategic factors, such as the company's need to obtain audit services that better align with its business vision and auditor competency, which is considered capable of maintaining the credibility of financial reports. These findings emphasize the importance of a continuous relationship between auditors and clients as part of efforts to maintain the quality, consistency, and independence of the resulting audit. The practical implication of this study is that companies need to prioritize professionalism, audit quality, and long-term partnerships with auditors, rather than solely considering internal factors such as management structure or financial pressure. From a regulatory perspective, this research provides important input for strengthening regulations and oversight regarding audit quality and auditor independence, rather than solely focusing on auditor switching frequency. Thus, this study expands the literature on auditor switching dynamics and confirms that audit success is determined more by the quality of relationships and competence than by internal technical factors alone.

This review article examines the influence of red flags, training and expertise on the auditor's ability to detect fraud. This research is a literature study for the investigative audit course which aims to develop hypotheses regarding the influence between variables that can be used for further research.  

This literature review investigates the influence of independence, skepticism, and accountability on audit quality based on previous research. Independence is considered a key element in the audit process that can ensure the auditor's objectivity in conducting assessments. Skepticism, as the auditor's critical and alert attitude towards the information presented, is also considered important in improving audit quality. In addition, accountability refers to the auditor's responsibility in ensuring compliance with audit standards and professional ethics. Previous studies show that independence, skepticism, and accountability have a significant impact on audit quality. Auditors who have high independence tend to carry out more objective evaluations of the information being audited, thereby improving the quality of the financial reports produced. In addition, high skepticism allows auditors to be more alert to potential errors or fraud, thereby increasing their ability to detect discrepancies or irregularities in financial reports. Furthermore, strong accountability ensures that auditors are accountable for their decisions and actions, which can encourage them to conduct audits with high integrity and professionalism. Although many studies have confirmed the positive relationship between independence, skepticism, and accountability and audit quality, there is still room for further research in different contexts, such as specific industries or countries that have unique regulatory and cultural characteristics. The implication of this literature is the importance of strengthening these factors in audit practice in order to increase public trust in the financial reports presented.
