This study aims to test whether client pressure can moderate the influence of auditor’s independence and auditor’s competence on audit quality. This study used a survey approach with questionnaire form which filled by 80 auditors who work at the Public Accounting Firm of North Jakarta listed at the Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. The result of the research shows that if the auditor has high independence and competence, then audit quality will be higher also. Based on testing of a pure moderator, client pressure is able to moderate and strengthen each influence of auditor’s independence and auditor’s competence on audit quality. This suggests that this study produces an ideal condition in which client pressure makes the auditor more independent and competent to the job.

Purpose – While a comparative study of the literature on accounting as a profession and on cooperatives reveals important differences in the values embodied by certified public accountants and by cooperators, the purpose of this study is to explore whether such differences lead to an insurmountable incompatibility or may possibly be mitigated and eventually overcome. Design/methodology/approach – The study focuses on a French public accounting firm’s project to become a worker cooperative. Drawing on methodological insights from actor–network theory (ANT), the study analyses a situation in which the certified public accountants try to convince some cooperators of the merits of their project. Findings – The case studied suggests that accounting as a profession and cooperatives are irreconcilable. It not only confirms that some of their contrasting features (identified in the literature) are indeed too difficult to overcome but also reveals a new, unforeseen source of tension between certified public accountants and cooperators. Research limitations/implications – The study calls for further research into the so-far-overlooked relationships between accounting as a profession and cooperatives. It also proposes to extend the usage of ANT in accounting research to the study of accounting as a profession. Originality/value – While ANT-inspired accounting research has to date shown a dominant interest in successful translation processes, the present study looks at an unsuccessful translation stage.
