THE EFFECT BETWEEN COORDINATION AND COOPERATION IN INTERNAL AUDITOR WITH EXTERNAL AUDITORS TO AN EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL AUDIT: CASE STUDY ON A ROLE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
The internal audit ineffectiveness is marked by the weakness of financial accountability. This research aimed to examine and provide determinants of the internal audit effectiveness at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP). The research sample consisted of 31 inter-nal auditors and 31 KKP employees. This research belongs to the explanatory research. The re- search questionnaire data to test hypotheses were analyzed with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis tool. The results showed that the coordination and cooperation of internal auditors with external auditors had a positive effect on the effectiveness of internal audits. In addition, man-agement support was able to moderate the coordination and cooperation of internal auditors with external auditors on the effectiveness of internal audits. This finding can open the horizons of interested parties, especially KKP leaders to consider policies that can improve the effectiveness of internal audits to improve organizational objectives and performance.
