Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Professional Practices element of the Internal Audit Capability Model (IACM) at the Inspectorate General of Ministry This study used a mixed-methods case study design combining a questionnaire distributed to 122 internal auditors (APIP) with in-depth semi-structured interviews with technical controllers (Dalnis) and the Evaluation and Reporting Section. The Professional Practices element was assessed through two aspects, namely risk-based audit planning and the Quality Assurance and Improvement Program (QAIP), and the findings were then interpreted through the lens of Institutional Theory. The results show that although BPKP concluded that the Professional Practices element has formally met the Level 3 characteristics, APIP is perceived to have produced a mean score of 3.70, the second-lowest among the six IACM elements, reflecting gaps in the implementation of risk-based planning and QAIP, particularly the absence of a regular Internal Peer Review. These gaps are mainly driven by weak coercive pressure, shown by limited management commitment toward risk management and quality assurance, and weak normative pressure, shown by the absence of a standard operating procedure governing the Internal Peer Review, while mimetic pressure was not found to be a significant factor. This study recommends strengthening risk register-based audit planning and implementing an Internal Peer Review procedure as short- and medium-term priorities to close the gap between the formal Level 3 status and actual audit practice

Abstract

Effective audits require audited entities to promptly implement recommendations; otherwise, identified risks, regulatory violations, and potential state losses may persist. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of follow-up actions on Special Audit recommendations at the Inspectorate General of Ministry X during 2018–2024, identify implementation barriers, and formulate improvement strategies. An embedded single-case study design with a mixed-methods approach was employed. Secondary data comprised Special Audit reports, recommendation summaries, minutes of meetings, and relevant regulations, while primary data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with four officials and a Likert-scale survey of 46 audited entities, comprising 12 ministry work units and 34 regional governments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, thematic analysis, and methodological triangulation. Of the 318 recommendations, 74% were followed up within 60 days; however, only 61% achieved compliant completion status, indicating that overall implementation effectiveness remained limited. Regional governments achieved a 76% completion rate, whereas ministry work units achieved only 28%. Leadership commitment and administrative constraints were the dominant internal barriers, while weak communication and monitoring mechanisms primarily affected regional governments. Respondents supported the implementation of early-warning systems, online consultation platforms, technical guidance, and differentiated regulatory measures. The study concluded that effective follow-up requires tailored interventions combining stronger leadership accountability, digital monitoring, enforceable sanctions, sustained capacity development, and institutional oversight.
