We examine factors associated with internal audit function (IAF) size in U.S. government and nonprofit (GNP) entities. Our results, based on responses from 345 GNP participants, indicate several factors related to organizational characteristics, IAF characteristics, IAF responsibilities, and information technology (IT) tools and audit activities that are associated with IAF size. Specifically, we find IAF size is positively associated with: (1) mandated IAFs, (2) activity related to audits of general IT risks, (3) use of a rotational staffing model, (4) degree of fraud detection responsibility, (5) conduct of performance audits, (6) extent of sophisticated audit technologies, (7) organization size, (8) opportunity to receive a bonus, and (9) age of the IAF. IAF size is negatively related to (1) extent of access to records and property appropriate for the performance of audits, (2) nonprofit organizations, (3) healthcare institutions, and (4) educational institutions. Additional analysis reveals variation between large and small organizations.

Different Levels

The present paper gives a review of empirical research on ethical leadership and shows that still little is known known about the contextual antecedents of ethical leadership. To address this important issue, a conceptual framework is developed that analyzes the embeddedness of organizational ethical leadership. This framework identifies manifest and latent contextual factors on three different levels of analysis – society, industry, and organization – which can affect the development and maintenance of ethical leadership. In particular, propositions are offered about how (1) societal characteristics, notably the implementation and the spirit of human rights in a society and societal cultural values of responsibility, justice, humanity, and transparency; (2) industry characteristics such as environmental complexity, the content of the organizational mandate, and the interests of stakeholder networks; and (3) intra-organizational characteristics, including the organizational ethical infrastructure and the ethical leadership behavior of a leader’s peer group, influence the development and maintenance of ethical leadership in organizations. This list of factors is not exhaustive, but illustrates how the three levels may impact ethical leadership. Implications for managerial practice and future research are discussed.

Especially pesantren currently has a challenging enough weight in facing the era of "Demographic Bonus". Demographic bonus is a phenomenon in which the structure of the population greatly benefits the community from the side of development in various sectors, because the productive age is more than the non productive age. This means that the dependency burden will decrease with the ratio of 64 percent of the productive age population to bear only 34 percent of the nonproductive age population. With all kinds of scholarships and skills given to students, students are expected to compete in all fields, especially in the face of Indonesia gold in 2020 to 2035.
