Objective - This study examines various personal factors that influence auditor's acceptance of Dysfunctional Audit Behaviours in the Indonesian public sector audit Methodology/Technique - The data used in this study were gathered by means of questionnaires to auditors at the Indonesian Supreme Audit Board (BPK) in three provinces in Sumatera Island (West Sumatera, Riau and Jambi). The data were analyzed using Path analysis by means of SmartPLS 2.0 Software Package. Findings - The findings of this study suggest that several personal characteristics of public sector auditor such as external locus of control and turnover intention contribute to auditor's acceptance of DAB. However, inconsistent with previous studies on auditors in public accounting firms, this study fails to support the association of personal characteristics such as auditor's self-rated performance and organizational commitment to the acceptance of DAB. Novelty - Unlike those of private sector audit, only a few studies investigating auditor acceptance of dysfunctional audit behaviour (DAB) in the public sector have been conducted. This study fills the theoretical gap in that area within the context of Indonesian public sector audit. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords: Audit; Public Sector; Dysfunctional Behaviour; Locus of Control; Performance

The job of the auditor is to provide useful information, therefore when the audited report is delayed it will reduce the use value of the financial statements presented. Therefore, it is important to identify and have a deeper look at several factors related to the occurrence of audit report lag. Thus, it is necessary to study whether these factors significantly influence the audit report lag. This is important because the audit report lag phenomenon can reduce client interest and affect the reputation of auditors and public accounting firms where auditors work. Hypothesis 1 in this study is rejected, this means that the experience of auditors does not significantly affect the Audit Report Tag. work and the number of inspection tasks. The experience variable does not have a significant effect because audit quality is not determined by the length of work and the number of audit tasks. Hypothesis 2, namely that time budget pressure has an effect on audit report lag, is rejected. Time budget pressure is vital in the process of completing an audit report. In this case the time budget pressure does not have a significant effect because the budget pressure is determined when planning to determine the audit task but the implementation of the audit can be different influenced by the existing situation. For example during a pandemic, uncontrollable situations lead to leeway in the completion of audited reports. So that the existing time budget pressure must be adjusted. The hypothesis in this study is accepted, this is because the size of KAP basically determines the level of efficiency and effectiveness of each auditor's task. In medium and large KAPs, there is usually a structured system and maturity from the audit planning process to the audit. This is because large public accounting firms usually try to maintain quality and reputation to keep their clients interested
