This study focuses on the role of auditing in improving the credibility and reliability of financial statements, particularly through the examination of cash and cash equivalents, which are the most liquid assets and also the most vulnerable to errors and fraud. The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of financial statement users, including investors, financial analysts, consultants, academics and accounting practitioners, as well as accounting students, about the function of cash and cash equivalents audit reports in improving business quality. This study found that comprehensive and independent cash and cash equivalent audits can increase user confidence in the transparency, accountability, and reputation of companies. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with eight informants in Jakarta, Bogor, and Depok. The results show that three main factors influence financial statement users' perceptions of audit quality: auditor credibility, audit process independence, and the audit's ability to demonstrate good corporate governance. According to the results of this study, cash audits are very important as a measure of management integrity and a tool for assessing company quality. The study is also expected to help auditors and management improve audit practices that are clearer, more independent, and focused on the needs of financial statement users.

This study aims to examine: 1) the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived security and privacy on attitude toward using; 2) the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived security and privacy on the intention to use digital wallets in Aceh Province; and 3) the mediating effect of attitude toward using in the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived security and privacy on the intention to use digital wallets in Aceh Province. The data collection method employed non-probability sampling with a total of 275 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares (PLS)-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0. The findings show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and perceived security and privacy positively influence attitude toward using, which subsequently affects the behavioral intention to use. These results indicate that individuals in Aceh are more likely to adopt digital wallets when they perceive them as beneficial, user-friendly, and secure. Furthermore, the mediating role of attitude emphasizes its importance in strengthening the relationship between user perception and the intention to use digital wallet technology (t-value = 5.717, p-value = 0.000).
