Abstract

This study reviews the development and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Analytics in auditing and their impact on audit quality in the digital era. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA framework, 45 peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2025 were analyzed thematically. The findings show that AI and Data Analytics enhance audit quality by improving fraud detection, increasing efficiency through automation, and strengthening audit evidence reliability. However, effective adoption depends on auditors' technological competence, digital infrastructure readiness, and robust governance frameworks. The review also identifies research gaps, including limited longitudinal studies, insufficient evidence in the Indonesian context, and a lack of focus on ethical governance and return on investment. This study provides insights for auditors, audit firms, and regulators to support accountable and sustainable audit digitalization.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development of simple financial recording practices among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Parepare City, focusing on the validity, reliability, and determinants of their implementation. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 30 MSME respondents through a structured questionnaire covering three main variable dimensions: basic accounting knowledge (X1), financial management behavior (X2), and financial recording implementation (Y). Validity testing using Pearson Correlation revealed that all instrument items are valid, with r-values significantly above the critical value at the 0.01 level. Reliability analysis using Cronbach's Alpha yielded coefficients of 0.791 for X1 (10 items), 0.808 for X2 (7 items), and 0.816 for Y (6 items), all exceeding the 0.70 threshold. Multiple regression analysis demonstrates that both basic accounting knowledge and financial management behavior significantly and positively influence MSME financial recording implementation (R² = 0.960; F = 321.202; p < 0.001). Partial testing indicates that X1 exerts a stronger influence (β = 0.374; t = 4.284; p < 0.001) compared to X2 (β = 0.310; t = 2.591; p = 0.015). Normality testing using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov method confirms residual normality (p = 0.200 > 0.05). These findings suggest that capacity-building programs focusing on basic accounting literacy and financial management behavior are critical pathways to improving MSME financial governance in Parepare

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effect of audit fees and auditor competence on auditor motivation at the Public Accounting Firm (KAP) in Makassar city. The population in this study were all auditors who worked at KAP in Makassar, totaling 48 auditors. The sample selection was carried out using the census method, in which all members of the population were used as samples. The data used in this study are primary data collected by distributing questionnaires to all respondents, with data analysis techniques that will be carried out namely descriptive statistical tests, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis and hypothesis testing which consists of testing partial (t test) and simultaneous test (f test). The results of the study show that audit fees have a positive and significant effect on auditor motivation. This indicates that the greater the fee received by an auditor, the more motivated he is in carrying out his duties. Meanwhile, auditor competence has a negative and significant effect on auditor motivation at the Public Accounting Firm in Makassar city

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how digital transformation reshapes financial accounting practices and influences the role of the accounting profession in implementing Standar Akuntansi Keuangan (SAK) in the digital era. Research Methodology: This study employs an exploratory qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with eight informants, consisting of accounting educators and external auditors in Makassar, Indonesia. Participants were selected through purposive sampling based on their experience with digital accounting systems. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to role changes, challenges, and opportunities in SAK implementation. Results: The findings indicate that digital transformation does not change the substantive principles of SAK but significantly alters the mechanisms through which these standards are implemented. Financial reporting processes are increasingly integrated within digital accounting systems that automate transaction recording and enable real-time financial reporting. Consequently, the role of accountants has shifted from traditional administrative record keepers to more analytical and strategic professionals responsible for evaluating accounting systems and ensuring compliance with accounting standards. Conclusions: Digital transformation reflects an institutional adaptation process in which technological change reshapes accounting practices without replacing existing regulatory frameworks. Limitations: This study is limited by its small sample size and regional focus. Contributions: This study contributes to the literature by integrating institutional theory with digital accounting transformation and explaining how regulatory, normative, and cognitive factors influence SAK implementation.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how climate-related risk is identified and assessed in financial statement audits and analyzes its implications for auditor independence and professional skepticism within a risk-based auditing framework in regional Public Accounting Firms in Indonesia. Methodology: This qualitative exploratory study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with four auditors from regional Public Accounting Firms in Makassar, Indonesia, each with a minimum of three years of audit experience. Document analyses of International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 200, ISA 315, and ISA 540 complemented the interviews. Thematic analysis was employed to identify recurring patterns in risk assessment, professional judgements, and responses to climate-related uncertainty. Results: The findings reveal three dominant themes: (1) climate-related risk is primarily incorporated into the entity-level risk assessment stage; (2) its classification as a material misstatement risk remains inconsistent; and (3) climate-related accounting estimates significantly increase reliance on management assumptions, thereby intensifying challenges to auditor independence and professional skepticism. The integration of climate risk remains largely principle-based and dependent on judgment rather than on structured technical guidance. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that climate-related risk reshapes inherent risk assessment and expands the behavioral dimensions of auditing practice in regional contexts. The findings highlight the need for more operational guidance to support the consistent integration of climate considerations within risk-based auditing. Limitations: This study is limited to a small sample of regional auditors and relies on qualitative perceptions. Contributions: This research contributes to auditing literature by empirically illustrating how climate-related risk affects professional judgment, independence, and skepticism in emerging regional audit environments.
