Audit quality is determined by the criteria of the audit firm and the audit engagement team. One of the most important criteria of the audit engagement team is the involvement of the responsible engagement partner (hereinafter - partner) in the audit. As an executive of an audit firm, the partner is responsible for the quality control system within the audit firm, creating a "tone from the top" and presenting himself and his/her behavior, including involvement in the audit process, as an example for other less experienced audit engagement team members. This article examines the role of the partner in the audit engagement team structure to achieve audit quality, introduces the issue of partner involvement in the audit process, and proposes suggested indicators that can help assess the level of partner involement in the audit process for audit quality reviewers.

Samples were obtained from auditors working in public accounting firms in West Jakarta and South Jakarta. Data collection was done using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 100 auditors as respondents. The method of analysis used was Moderated Regression Analysis. The results show that task complexity hurts audit judgment. Auditor independence has a positive effect on audit judgment. Audit fees can strengthen the effect of task complexity on audit judgment. Besides, audit fees moderate the effect of auditor independence on audit judgment. It is recommended that public accounting firms consider the interaction of variables that affect audit judgment, such as task complexity, independence, and audit fees, to improve audit quality.

Nowadays, blockchain technology is expected to promote the quality control of traditional industry due to its traceability, transparency and non-tampering characteristics. Although blockchain could offer the traditional industry new energy, there are still some predictable difficulties in the early stage of its application, such as the structure of the blockchain-based system, the role of regulators in the system and high transaction fee by block packing. In this paper, we establish a pioneering quality control system for the green composite wind turbine blade supply chain based on blockchain technology. Firstly, the framework of this system is proposed to ensure that the quality of the product could not only be examined and verified by regulator, but also be monitored by other related nodes. Next, we develop a new way to store the data by hash fingerprint and the cost of transaction fees is significantly reduced in the case of a large amount of data. Then, the information on-chain method is developed to realize the data traceability of each node. At last, the tests of this system are carried out to prove its validity, the satisfactory results are obtained and information supervision and sharing role of the regulators are discussed.
