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.

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.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine potential determinants of management’s agreement with internal auditor recommendations of an interim assurance engagement. Design/methodology/approach The experiment involved a 2 × 2 × 2 design with internal auditor gender, mode of communication and root cause variables randomly assigned to 228 experienced managers. Findings When the internal auditor includes a root cause for an identified deficiency in an internal audit report, management perceptions of the quality of that report improve. The gender of the internal auditor who communicates the audit finding with management does not significantly impact management’s perceptions. Additionally, communicating the internal audit report via e-mail instead of videoconference results in improved managerial perceptions of the quality of the internal auditor. While improvements in perceptions of internal auditor quality lead to greater agreement with internal auditor recommendations, improvements in perceptions of report quality lead to greater implementation of internal-auditor-recommended remediation strategies. Research limitations/implications The operationalization of the manipulated variables of interest (communication mode, gender and root cause) may limit the generalizability of the study’s results. Practical implications The paper includes managerial implications for internal auditors’ choice of communication mode and inclusion of a root cause in interim internal audit reports. Originality/value This study provides evidence on the factors that could improve management’s perceptions of internal auditors’ work. The findings can help organizations, such as the Institute of Internal Auditors, to better understand how to address the needs of those who communicate with internal auditors.

Computer Assisted Audit Tools and Techniques (CAATTs) are not new for auditors, and it needs to be adopted to gain the audit efficiency and effectiveness especially in a current era of technology. This paper examined the implementation of CAATTs by internal auditors in the public sector. Accordingly, this research reports the results from 12 interviews made with internal audit departments in public sector in both federal and state level in Malaysia. This research found that the implementation of CAATTs by internal auditors in public sector is still low due to lack of expertise, high implementation and maintenance cost, limited access of auditee’s data, and most of them prefer to conduct the audit manually. Furthermore, it is not mandatory for them to use CAATTs. The evidence is a contrast with the encouragement made by the government to improve the IT usage in public sector. The results implied that training for future auditors in CAATTs to ensure the successful implementation is crucial. For CAATTs to be a success, the head of internal audit also must have the awareness about the importance of CAATTs as well as enforcement of its implementation.

Internal auditor’s independence is sometimes in doubt. This makes sense because the internal auditor is an integrated part of the organization. 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. So, the quality of internal auditor still becomes an important issue until  now. The purpose of this study is to establish a measurement model of internal audit quality based on the influencing factors not only independence, but also competence, professionalism and motivation. This study uses primary data by distributing questionnaires spread to 60 internal auditors who work  in  inspectorate, private companies, state enterprises (BUMN) and local government enterprises (BUMD) in Cirebon District and Municipalities. Data analysis method used is single stage multivariate model among variables/pathway analysis. The results show that the competence, independence, professionalism and motivation affect the quality of internal audit either partially or simultaneously, and competence contributes the most to the quality of the internal audit. Thus, this research model can be used to measure the quality of internal audit.

The Slovenian economy did not sufficiently recognize and use the internal audit function. This is largely true for that part of the economy where internal audit is not legally defined as a key function. However, in the world, it is the internal auditor who also helps the organization in the field of making sense of values, the importance of competencies and introducing changes. These are the elements that affect the size and distance of risks and opportunities. One of the key success factors is employees. The organization needs to have the right people in the right place. Be it middle, senior management or professionals such as internal auditors. Among other things, the pandemic showed how the Human resource function influences the long-term success of the organization through the right and timely selection of personnel. Nevertheless, in all my many years of practice, I have never managed to get the management and then the supervisory board to accept the proposal that the human resources function and its efficiency and effectiveness be included in the annual internal audit plan.
