Abstract

The coordination between internal and external auditors is crucial in carrying out their professional duties and responsibilities. This coordination process involves exchanging information, sharing audit opinions, as well as discussing audit planning and reporting. The study is focused on assessing the significance of internal audit alignment and the interaction between internal and external audit. The research method employed is an empirical study with a quantitative approach through surveys and in-depth interviews with internal and external auditors in various industrial sectors. The findings indicate that effective coordination between internal and external auditors can prevent job duplication, enhance the accuracy and reliability of financial reports, and improve operational efficiency of the company. The research discussion emphasizes the importance of support from management as auditee in the audit process and the need to maintain the independence of internal auditors for audit effectiveness. The research gap lies in the lack of in-depth empirical exploration on how this coordination is implemented in practice and its impact in various organizational contexts. Therefore, this study provides a significant contribution to the understanding and practice of coordination between internal and external auditors, and offers recommendations for further research in the future.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a strategic role in the national economy, but often face challenges in managerial aspects, including managing consumables inventory. This study aims to analyze the consumables inventory control system at MSME Mapparennu Laundry and Dry Clean Makassar, identify the obstacles faced, and formulate effective improvement strategies. The study used a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach which is collaborative and participatory, with data collection methods in the form of interviews, observations, documentation, and group discussions. The results of the study indicate that the control system implemented is still manual, not well documented, and not based on historical data, resulting in cost inefficiency, operational disruptions, and low accountability. Some of the main obstacles found include the lack of a recording system, the absence of SOPs, and low awareness and capacity of human resources. To overcome this, it is recommended to implement a simple digital recording system, prepare SOPs, data-based needs planning, periodic supervision, employee training, and optimize storage space. This strategy is expected to improve operational efficiency and the effectiveness of MSME internal control, as well as become a learning model for other similar businesses.
