The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of competency, independency, and professionalism on audit quality. Competency, independency, and professionalism are three characteristics of a competent auditor. The population of this research is the auditor of accounting firms in Central Java. The samples of this research are employees of auditors working at accounting firm (KAP) Budiman, Wawan, Pamudji Tegal, KAP Wartono & Fellow Surakarta, KAP Sophian Wongsaro Semarang, KAP Heliantono & Semarang Branch.  Forty-five questionnaires are employed in this study. Before the hypotheses testing, validity and reliability tests are run to determine the validity and reliability of the data. Hypothesis testing techniques use regression analysis. These research results show that competency, independency, professionalism influence the quality of the audit. However, these results have to be cautiously interpreted since only a few auditors’ questionnaires were worth analyzing. Future studies may increase the number of KAPs from other districts in Indonesia or using not only auditors from accounting firms but also government auditors or internal auditors.

<em>Merge rof Pricewaterhouse and Coopers &amp; Lybrands that occurred in 1998 creates PricewaterhouseCoopers as the biggest accounting firm in history. Conceptually and supported by previous empirical result firm size is expected to be positively correlated with audit quality. Large accounting firms have financial ability to improve its auditors skill and can act more independently because major part of their income do not come from one or two clients. They spend huge investment in audit technology as well. However, this positive relationship only applies to environments where punishment is strictly imposed on audit failure. Unlike their counterparts in the United States and Europe, auditors working in Indonesia rarely face legal issues related to the audit assignment. In addition, empirical studies in Indonesia have always classified local auditors as Big N auditors if they affiliate with one of Big N auditors assuming same quality with that of Big N auditors. This assumption does not necessarily hold. Therefore, in the context of Indonesia environtments, this study predicts PricewaterhouseCoopers merger does not affect the quality of the audit. Using abnormal accruals as a proxy for audit quality, the results show that after the merger audit quality has declined significantly.</em>

The more competent an auditor is, the more quality the audit will produce. In addition, the higher the moral reasoning possessed by an auditor, the better the quality of the audit produced. In this study, the audit time budget cannot moderate the effect of competence towards audit quality. While the audit time budget can moderate the effect of moral reasoning towards audit quality.

SUMMARY: Recently, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB” or “Board”) issued a release to address, in two ways, issues relating to the responsibilities of a registered public accounting firm and its supervisory personnel with respect to supervision. First, the release reminds registered firms and associated persons of, and highlights the scope of, Section 105(c)(6) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“the Act”), which authorizes the Board to impose sanctions on registered public accounting firms and their supervisory personnel for failing to supervise reasonably an associated person who has violated certain laws, rules, or standards. Second, the release discusses and seeks comment on conceptual approaches to rulemaking that might complement the application of Section 105(c)(6) and, through increased accountability, lead to improved supervision practices and, consequently, improved audit quality. The PCAOB provided for a 91-day exposure period (from August 5, 2010, to November 3, 2010) for interested parties to examine and provide comments on the conceptual approaches to rulemaking that might complement the application of Section 105(c)(6). The Auditing Standards Committee of the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association provided the comments in the letter below to the PCAOB on the PCAOB Release No. 2010-005, Application of the “Failure to Supervise” Provision of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Solicitation of Comment on Rulemaking Concepts.

Various cases that occurred in KAP are evidence of problems in the KAP environment that affect the quality of auditors in conducting audits. In conducting audits, independent auditors are required to observe professional principles, including professional responsibility, public interest, integrity, objectivity, competence, and professional prudence. However, various cases that arise within the Public Accounting Firm are one of the reasons for the reduced public trust in Public Accounting Firm services, one of which occurred in the case of violations committed by Hasnil M Yasin & Partners where the director of this Public Accounting Firm committed income tax evasion. in Langkat Regency under the demands of the Public Prosecutor Service along with the Langkat regional secretary Surya Djahisa. Hasnil is suspected of committing a criminal act of corruption that resulted in a loss of state funds of 1 billion rupiahs, therefore the researchers conducted tests in assessing competence, accountability, the application of the Code of Ethics and Leadership Styles that affect the quality of audits at KAP Medan city. The population and samples were taken with the saturation technique. The data analysis model uses structural models, measurement models, path diagram designs, conversion of path diagrams into a system of equations, estimates, the goodness of fit, and others to get the desired results with the help of the WrapPls program.
