Abstract

Both public and private organizations in the modern era greatly value the services of auditors since the outcomes of their decisions can reveal an organizations transparency. To ensure no errors are made when evaluating an organization, an auditor needs to be competent and independent in attitude. This study aims to analyze and examine the factors that influence time budget pressure, independence, and competence on internal auditor performance in BPKP North Sumatera. Research is being conducted using an applied mixed-methods approach. All BPKP North Sumatera auditors are included in the research population for both the qualitative and quantitative sections. Purposive sampling was used to select six audit managers and staff for the qualitative section research sample and to select fifty-five people for the quantitative section study sample. The data was analyzed with Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of this study indicate that time budget pressure, independence and competence have significant effects on the internal auditor performances. Meanwhile, motivation had no effect on the performance of the internal auditor in BPKP North Sumatra. Motivation is proven to be able to mediate the effect of independence on auditor performance. Motivation is unable to mediate the effect of time budget pressure and competence on the internal auditor performances in BPKP North Sumatera. The study findings suggest that internal auditors should be considered when evaluating government sector audits and that they should be provided with information to help government internal auditors maintain and enhance audit quality.

Abstract

Auditors are required to be professional to carry out their duties properly in examining the client's financial statements to provide benefits to the client and interested parties on the audit results. However, this professional attitude cannot be separated from the auditor's role conflict and his ability to make ethical decisions. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of role conflict and ethical sensitivity in improving the auditor’s performance using emotional intelligence as a moderating variable. The cluster sampling technique was used to determine the number of samples, as many as 86 auditors at the Medan City Public Accounting Firm. The data was collected using a questionnaire method. Fifty-six auditors were used for hypothesis testing and research analysis, while 30 other auditors were used to determine validity and reliability tests. This study uses a structural equation model to test the hypothesis. The results show that role conflict harms auditor performance, while ethical sensitivity increases auditor performance. On the other hand, emotional intelligence does not mediate the effect of role conflict and ethical sensitivity on auditor performance. The implication of the results of this study is the need for public accounting firms to manage internal competition between auditors so as not to lead to personal conflicts that can decrease audit quality. Public accounting firms also need to develop an ethical culture among their auditors.
