A number of 168 auditors who work for Public Accounting Firms in East Java participated in this research. The data is analyzed using PLS (Partial Least Squares).

Role conflict does not have any direct influence to job satisfaction but has a direct positive influence toward turnover intention. Role Ambiguity positively influences job satisfaction and negatively influences auditors’ turnover intention. Besides, this research also reveals that job satisfaction has a partial mediation effect between pay satisfaction and auditors’ turnover intention and has a full mediation effect between role ambiguity and auditors’ turnover intention, but it has no mediation effect between role conflict and auditors’ turnover intention.

SUMMARY: Recently, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB” or “Board”) issued a release to address, in two ways, issues relating to the responsibilities of a registered public accounting firm and its supervisory personnel with respect to supervision. First, the release reminds registered firms and associated persons of, and highlights the scope of, Section 105(c)(6) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“the Act”), which authorizes the Board to impose sanctions on registered public accounting firms and their supervisory personnel for failing to supervise reasonably an associated person who has violated certain laws, rules, or standards. Second, the release discusses and seeks comment on conceptual approaches to rulemaking that might complement the application of Section 105(c)(6) and, through increased accountability, lead to improved supervision practices and, consequently, improved audit quality. The PCAOB provided for a 91-day exposure period (from August 5, 2010, to November 3, 2010) for interested parties to examine and provide comments on the conceptual approaches to rulemaking that might complement the application of Section 105(c)(6). The Auditing Standards Committee of the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association provided the comments in the letter below to the PCAOB on the PCAOB Release No. 2010-005, Application of the “Failure to Supervise” Provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Solicitation of Comment on Rulemaking Concepts.

This research focuses on the dilemma of small Public Accounting Firms in maintaining their survival, but still maintaining their audit quality. This research is qualitative research with interpretive paradigm and the case study method. This study shows how Public Accounting Firm X faces a dilemma situation when auditing small clients with low fees, while maintaining their audit quality. Public Accounting Firm X in its survival growth strategy uses a "zebra", a "radar" and a business diamond strategy. Public Accounting Firm X itself has a dilemma when faced with a small client who can only pay a low fee for audit services, if using the indicator minimum hourly charge-out rates determined by IAPI, then the audit fee cannot be applied on the client. In the end, the audit procedures carried out must be adequate to maintain audit quality, where Public Accounting Firm X uses Excel based Standard Working Paper during audits and cuts the leveling level. Regulations that accommodate more smaller clients in the area are needed related to audit services.

Abstract Background: Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs) are community-based health workers in Malawi, responsible for health services delivery at the community level. The prevalence of high role stressors among health surveillance assistants (HSAs) is a very important issue to strengthen the delivery of the essential health package at the community level; however, data on the prevalence of these role stressors to help understand more about the role stressors among HSAs is unavailable. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of role stressors and its associated factors among HSAs. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used in this study to collect data from January 2017 to December 2017. Data were collected from 430 HSAs from the districts of Mangochi, Lilongwe and Mzimba using a self-administered structured questionnaire was hand delivered to a total of 455 HSAs (response rate of 94.5%). Role ambiguity and role conflict was measured using a 13-item Rizzo et al. role conflict and ambiguity (RCA) scale; role overload was measured using a 9-item Reilly role overload scale and the job tasks for HSAs were measured using Burgal et al. modified version of the task inventory scale. Factors for role stressors were analyzed using the principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple linear regression model. Results: Of the respondents 3% had high risk for RA, 51.20% RC and 49% RO. Role stressors are prevalent among HSAs in Malawi. HSAs who were resident in rural areas, female, and performing additional clinical roles experienced significant levels of role stressors. Interestingly, no statistically significant associations were found between role stressors and the years at service post, age and the district of work. Conclusion: This is the first study of occupational role stressors in Malawi. Role stressors are prevalent among HSAs. Interventions aimed at improving supervision, training and task regulation by an independent regulatory body may support to reduce role stressors among HSAs.

Auditor personality is a topic of interest within the accounting field due to the scarcity of research on accountant personalities in Indonesia. This research aimed to examine the moderating effect of public accounting firm size, personality traits and locus of control on the correlation between role conflict and auditor judgement bias. The sample comprises auditors who work at public accounting firms in Java province and the study uses regression analysis as its method of analysis. The result shows that only internal locus of control has a significant moderating effect on the relationship between role conflict and auditor judgement bias. This indicates that auditor personality and public accounting firm size do not affect auditors’ professionalism in making judgements.
