Local governments’ financial statements that obtain unqualified opinion until the end of 2011 were still relatively few in number. This study aims to empirically examine the effect on the audit results of the financial statements of local governments in Indonesia of the budgets’ proportion, the effectiveness of the internal audit, the follow-up to the Supreme Audit Board’s findings, the Supreme Audit Board’s opinions from earlier periods, and the competence of the available human resources to understand the audit results of the Supreme Audit Board. Budget management has become very important since it lays out a detailed plan for the expenditure and revenue of the local governments, so that it can be accountable to the public. This study used a sample of 434 Indonesian Local Governments’ financial statements of 2011 and a logistic regression analysis. This study used primary and secondary data to uncover the phenomena that the local governments’ financial statements which received an unqualified opinion from the Supreme Audit Board were still relatively few in number. The results of this study showed that the budgets’ proportions of local governments are negatively significant in affecting the audit results of the financial statements of the local governments. The Supreme Audit Board’s opinions from earlier periods positively influenced the audit results of the financial statements of local governments. Whereas the variables of the effectiveness of internal controls, the follow-up to the Supreme Audit Boards’ findings, and the competence of the human resources do not significantly influence the audit results of the financial statements of local governments. The results of this study can contribute both theoretically and practically to the quality of the local governments’ financial statements. Keywords: budgets’ proportion, human resources, competency, opinions, audit quality.

This study examined the influence of the auditors’ competency, independency, and experiences towards audit quality of financial auditing of the staff of inspectorate in Tomohon City as part of their supervision function. The finding of this study could be an important input for improving the quality of financial management of the local government since the policy of decentralization has given the local governments authority not only to manage natural resources but also their financial sector. However, as could be seen there are still a lot of problems related to financial management mostly caused by the poor knowledge and skills related to financial auditing of government offici als responsible for this specific task. It is common to find inconsistency in the financial report of internal auditor  ( inspectorate )  and external auditor, Supreme Audit Agency  ( Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan) .There were two variables in this study. Audit quality was the dependent variable  ( Y ) while the independent variables elaborated into three variables, namely: auditor’s competency  ( X1 ) , auditor’s independency  ( X2 )  and auditor’s experiences  ( X3 ) . There were 36 personnel of the Inspectorate’s Office of Tomohon City participated as the sources of this study. Thus, the population of this research is the Tomohon City Regional Inspectorate officers. Data used in this study were primary and secondary data, while questioner and indepth interview as well as document study used as the data collection methods. The first consecutive methods employed to obtain primary data while the last used for obtaining secondary data. Both data analyzed using the multiple linear regression techniques.This study found that the influence of independent variable which were competency, independency and experiences towards dependent variables which was audit quality was significant. The 0.645 value of coeficient determination showed the significant relationship between both variables. This means that the equation model used in this study found the significancy at about 64,5%. The remaining proportion which was 35,5% explained by the other factors which were not part of this model. After examining the hypotheses, it can be concluded that partially competency had positive influence but not too significant to the quality of the inspectorate officer. However, independency and experiences had a positive and significant influence to the auditing quality of the public servant working in the inspectorate’s office.This study recommends to improving the knowledge and skills of the public apparatus by conducting short courses and training in accounting and auditing.Keywords: audit quality, competency, independency and experiences

The purpose of Audit Oversight Board (AOB) is to oversee the external auditors who audit the listed companies. Its establishment is expected to improve the quality of the audited financial statements and to increase the confidence of the public on the quality of the services provided by the auditors. This study explores how the establishment of audit oversight board affects the auditors in Malaysia. As the study is exploratory in nature with limited studies being carried out on AOB, face-to-face interviews were conducted with the external auditors. The findings show that the establishment of AOB affects the job of external auditors, especially on the documentation and training costs, which vary across audit firms of different sizes. There are opinions that the increased pressure on the external auditors is not solely due to the establishment of AOB, but it is also due to the revised accounting standards and other regulations. The study also finds that the external auditors’ reliance on the internal auditors is not affected by the establishment of AOB. In addition, regardless of whether the internal audit department is in-house or outsourced, it will not affect the reliance of external auditors on the internal auditors work.

The fraud cases involving government auditors certainly erode public trust. The importance of improving audit quality to increase the public trust makes author interested in conducting research that seeks to measure the determinants of audit quality. Before Enron and Worldcom’s accounting scandal on 2001-2002, studies that measured audit quality generally still use KAP-size proxies. DeAngelo's (1981: 186), states that: "The quality of audit services is defined as a market-assessed joint venture, which will both (a) discover a breed of client's accounting system, and (b) report the breach". Ethical rules become independent variables in this study. In addition, author also added Expectancy Theory to mediate the relationship between ethical rules and audit quality represented by quality control variables. This model was inspired by Aldhizer et al. (1995) where the measure of audit quality can also be assessed from how much the level of adherence and appropriateness of the client's financial statements to the rules, laws, and applicable standards. The results of the study indicate that ethical rules have an influence on audit quality by mediating by quality control.Keywords : Ethics, Control, Audit.
