In conducting audits, independent auditors are required to observe professional principles, including professional responsibility, public interest, integrity, objectivity, competence, and professional prudence.

Independent auditor services are needed to determine the reliability of the financial statements presented by management and to give an opinion towards the financial statements in a credible manner, so that they can be trusted and obtain larger market share.  In addition, the reporting process must also be effective by employing competent and objective independent auditors to give high quality audit based on the Professional Standards of Public Accountants (SPAP) and the Code of Ethics (IAPI,2016). On the other side, non-compliance towards SPAP and the Code of Ethics can reduce the audit quality. The non-compliance to the standards leads to violation cases and financial scandals, which inhibits the credibility of the auditors. This study aims to examine the effect of locus of external and task complexity towards the dysfunctional audit behavior moderated by Machiavellian.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand how internal auditors perceive the internal audit quality and to highlight the different profiles of internal auditors based on their perception of internal audit quality determinants. Design/methodology/approach The authors’ methodological approach is based on the submission of a self-administered questionnaire. The final sample consists of 104 internal auditors. The first stage of the study is in the lead of a certified public accountants (CPA), which highlights seven factors of the internal audit quality. The second step is a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) that allowed the authors to validate the model proposed by the CPA. Finally, the authors carry out a typological analysis of the auditors according to their way of perceiving the factors extracted by the CPA. Findings The authors’ model, validated by the CFA, shows that the knowledge of the internal auditor, the independence of reporting, compliance with professional standards of internal audit, the relationship with the external auditor, the personal relationship of the internal auditor, the access to information and the field of intervention of the internal auditor have a positive association with the internal audit quality but with a different degree of significance. For example, the field of intervention of the internal auditor and the access to information explain better the internal audit quality. However, the knowledge of the internal auditor and the relationship with the external auditor are not significant to explain the internal audit quality. From the hierarchical cluster analysis, four groups of internal auditors emerged: the autonomous, the perfectionists, the rigorous ones and the objectives. Originality/value In offering these findings, the paper contributes to the existing internal audit literature by introducing evidence from an emerging country, namely, Tunisia, of the internal audit quality model. In addition, the authors proposed a new measure to the internal audit quality model which is the use of the work of the internal auditor by the external auditor. This study is also interesting to managers and professional internal audit organizations in recognizing the characteristics of the quality of the internal audit and advance reflections on the effectiveness of internal audit practices. The authors’ study proposes a typology of certified internal auditors through their perceptions of the quality of the internal audit while taking into account the specificities of the Tunisian audit market. This provides insights to managers and audit committees on the measures necessary to ensure the relevance of the internal audit work within their companies.

As a part of the organization, the internal auditor has a role to audited financial statements, give some suggestions and recommendations that can be used as the basis for making some decisions in the future. The lower of internal auditor’s independence has an impact audit quality, that can make the role of internal auditor degrade.

The audit organization in Indonesia is divided into two, namely the Government External auditor conducted by the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) and the Government Internal Auditor or better known as the Internal Controller of the Government (APIP). The function of the internal auditor is to carry out an internal audit function which is an independent appraisal function within an organization to test and evaluate the organization's activities undertaken. In addition, internal auditors are also expected to contribute more to improving efficiency and effectiveness in order to improve organizational performance. One of the units conducting an audit/examination of the Regional Government is the Regional Inspectorate. The Inspectorate Auditor of Central Kalimantan Province only conducts an examination in the form of a review of the Local Government Financial Statements to provide limited confidence in the quality of the Regional Financial Report not the opinion or opinion on the Financial Statement, but only the recommendation. This is stated in the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No. 4 of 2008. The Auditor at the Inspectorate of Central Kalimantan Province is a government internal auditor with the same examination object each examination period, it will appear familiarity between the auditor with the object of examination. The emerging familiarity can lead to the independence of the auditor being disrupted so that the quality of the examination results decreases. The Inspectorate Auditor of Central Kalimantan Province conducts an examination based on the belief that he will gain personal pleasure, such as the enjoyment of improving intellectual ability.
