This study aims to examine the effect of technology, organization, and environment on the use of Computer-Assisted Audit Techniques (CAATs). The object of this study is the auditors working at Public Accounting Firms in Jakarta area. Sampling is done using purposive sampling technique. Data collection is carried out through questionnaires. The research method used is associative research with Partial Least Square (PLS), Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), and Parallel Least Square (PLS) approaches. The results of this study show that technology, organization, and environment (TOE) do not have a significant effect on the use of CAATs. The easy and fast access to technology systems (CAATs) has not been supported by good auditor resources. The ability and skills of users are still inadequate and there are no auditors who have certification related to the use of CAATs. The audit process does not require so many complex technological roles, but simple technology that can cover the entire audit process. Most auditors use Microsoft Excel / Word in the audit process. In this case, the auditors at least have already used audit software. Small or large clients do not matter what type of CAATs the auditor uses.

Significant Attention

The behavior of auditors in the context of their employment by public accounting firms has received significant attention in the accounting literature. The current article extends this literature by providing a framework that identifies what auditing professionals contribute and receive as a result of their work efforts, as well as related influences. Using agency theory modified with fundamental ideas from the sociology of professions literature, we develop a model of the auditor-public accounting firm employment relationship. This framework is grounded in a timely, contextually rich description of the public accounting work environment, and the pressures and incentives faced by auditors. Propositions for future research are suggested that arise from understanding the auditor-firm relationship.

Resilience Training

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the potential counteracting influence of individual resilience levels on the tendency of role stressors, stress arousal and burnout to reduce job satisfaction and increase turnover intentions. Design/methodology/approach This study surveys 332 auditors from the offices of nine public accounting firms. The structural equations modeling procedures examine an expanded role stress model to assess the nature and extent of the role that resilience plays in reducing stress, burnout, job dissatisfaction and turnover intentions. Findings Resilience has a significant direct negative association with stress arousal and burnout, a significant indirect positive association with job satisfaction and a significant indirect negative association with turnover intentions. Research limitations/implications As a cross-sectional study that incorporates self-report instruments, no definitive statements can be made about causality. However, the results extend the extant knowledge related of the role of resilience as a coping mechanism within the role stress paradigm in auditor work settings. Practical implications This study’s findings suggest the potential value of resilience training programs at public accounting firms to reduce staff burnout. In turn, reduced burnout has an increased likelihood ceteris paribus of increasing job satisfaction and reducing auditor turnover intentions. Originality/value This study’s findings suggest that resilience training for public accounting staff to reduce burnout may provide the organizational and personal benefits associated with enhancing job satisfaction and decreasing turnover intentions.

The present paper evaluates the effect of transformational leadership on job satisfaction and change commitment along with their interconnected effects (mediation) on cooperative conflict resolution (management) in customer service activities in Taiwan. The multi-source samples consist of data from personnel serving at customer centers (workgroups), such as phone service personnel, customer representatives, financial specialists, and front-line salespeople. An empirical study was carried out using a multiple mediation procedure incorporating bootstrapping techniques and PRODCLIN2 with structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. The results indicate that the main effect of the leadership style on cooperative conflict resolution is mediated by change commitment and job satisfaction.

And Task

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. This research was conducted on auditors that was registered at the Public Accounting Firm (KAP) in Denpasar using the PLS-SEM analysis and with the support of SmartPLS 3.0. Software. The results showed that the auditor’s dysfunctional behavior can be caused by the variations of external locus, the complexity of the task which interacts with Machiavellian.
