The phenomenon that occurs at this time shows that organizational culture is the main factor causing the emergence of huge scandals that afflict an organization that can prevent the organization from achieving its objectives. Risk in culture occurs when the behavior of members of an organization is not in line with the behavior that the organization wants to instill, causing unethical behavior that can hinder the achievement of goals and influence internal control of the organization.</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>At present, the organizational culture is an essential area within the scope of internal audit work. The role of the current internal auditor is expected to provide adequate assurance regarding one element of risk culture, namely the role of the leader (tone from the top) that has been carried out by following the values and ethics instilled by the organization. Leaders have a significant influence on the formation of culture and internal control systems in organizational units so that the role of internal auditors can provide confidence that the culture formed does not negatively affect overall organizational behavior becomes important.</em></strong><strong><em>  </em></strong></p>

The internal audit function is evolving from its traditional oversight function to one that includes a wider spectrum of activities that add value to their organizations. In addition, economic pressures have forced many companies to consider outsourcing as an alternative. These ongoing changes have caused some concern regarding the potential lack of objectivity and independence for internal auditors. This exploratory study examines whether outsourcing of the internal audit function is susceptible to client advocacy vis-a`-vis in-house auditing, which itself may be sensitive to an employer advocacy Sixty-six practicing members of the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) completed a case study involving a corporate acquisition scenario. Of the 66 participants, 35 were from corporations (in-house), while the remaining 31 were from the Big 4 accounting firms (outsource). Advocacy was manipulated by asking participants to assume the role of internal auditor for either the buyer or the seller of a target division. Result s indicate that significant advocacy existed in the judgments of both in-house and outsource internal auditors. However, the extent of advocacy was less severe in the case of outsource auditors.
