Abstract

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of professional skepticism and client narcissism on auditors’ fraud risk assessment. Financial reporting fraud has become a concern for auditors as part of their responsibility. Auditors are expected to assess the risk of fraud as well as its impact on financial reporting. During fraud risk assessment, several factors can influence auditors, namely professional skepticism as an internal factor and client's narcissism as an external factor. Professional skepticism is related to the level of details and awareness to conduct assessment work. Narcissistic clients are more likely to demonstrate higher inherent and control risk. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of professional skepticism and client narcissism on auditors’ fraud risk assessment. This study employs a 2x2 between-subjects experimental design, where professional skepticism and client narcissism are manipulated into are high and low level. The participants in this study are 107 accounting students from undergraduate, master, and professional program in a major university in Indonesia. The results of this study suggest that auditors with a higher level of professional skepticism are more sensitive to the higher incident of fraud and client's narcissism positively affect auditors’ assessment of fraud risk. This study contributes to the current fraud risk assessment literature, particularly within Indonesian auditing profession. Abstrak: Penelitian ini menyelidiki efek skeptisisme profesional dan narsisme klien pada penilaian risiko penipuan auditor. Pelaporan keuangan penipuan telah menjadi perhatian bagi auditor sebagai bagian dari tanggung jawab mereka. Auditor diharapkan untuk menilai risiko penipuan serta dampaknya pada pelaporan keuangan. Selama penilaian risiko penipuan, beberapa faktor dapat mempengaruhi auditor, yaitu skeptisisme profesional sebagai faktor internal dan narsisisme klien sebagai faktor eksternal. Skeptisisme profesional terkait dengan tingkat rincian dan kesadaran untuk melakukan pekerjaan penilaian. Klien narsistik lebih mungkin untuk menunjukkan risiko yang melekat dan kontrol yang lebih tinggi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyelidiki efek skeptisisme profesional dan narsisisme klien pada penilaian risiko penipuan auditor. Penelitian ini menggunakan 2 x 2 desain eksperimental antar subyek, di mana skeptisisme profesional dan narsisisme klien dimanipulasi menjadi tinggi dan rendah. Para peserta dalam penelitian ini adalah 107 mahasiswa akuntansi dari program sarjana, master, dan profesional di universitas besar di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa auditor dengan tingkat skeptisisme profesional yang lebih tinggi lebih sensitif terhadap insiden penipuan yang lebih tinggi dan narsisisme klien secara positif memengaruhi penilaian auditor terhadap risiko penipuan. Studi ini berkontribusi pada literatur penilaian risiko penipuan saat ini khususnya dalam profesi audit Indonesia.

Abstract

Academic dishonesty among students has been recognised as a major concern in higher education in Indonesia. Accounting research arguably need to give more attention to this issue. This is partly because of the importance of integrity as part of accounting ethics and professionalism. However, little currently known about academic dishonesty among accounting students in Indonesia. We address this issue by surveying 342 accounting students about their perception of academic dishonesty and what motivates such behaviour. Our respondents were from all first, second or third year undergraduate students at one state university in Indonesia. Drawing from Theory of Planned Behaviour, we examine three individual variables - attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. In addition, we also examine three situational variables - academic integrity culture, definitional ambiguity, and pressure. Six hypotheses were tested, using a Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling. The results reveal that 77.5% of respondents admitted committing academic dishonesty. While all individual factors studies have positive significant effect on the intention to commit academic dishonesty, of the three situational factors only pressure and definitional ambiguity have a positive significant effect. Surprisingly, it is found that academic integrity culture does not have a significant effect.

Abstract

I examine how independent auditors respond to the firms' related party transactions (RPTs), namely related party sales, purchases, receivables, and payables. I use Indonesian data where RPTs are profoundly prevalent. I predict that the nature of RPTs potentially leads to a higher risk of material misstatements, and thus, the auditor is likely to issue a modified audit opinion (MAO). The data is hand-collected from RPT disclosures in the annual reports from 360 firm-years during the financial year of 2011-2015. The data is analyzed using a logistic regression. Based on the analyses, I find that related party sales, purchases, and payables are positively associated with the issuance of an MAO. These results suggest that auditors respond to RPTs as high-risk transactions. However, I find no empirical support that RPT receivables are associated with MAO issuance. Findings from this research contribute to the literature by demonstrating that RPTs matter to auditors’ decisions about opinion issuance. Results also suggest practical implications from this study. It is critical for auditors to have a comprehensive knowledge of the nature of RPTs conducted by audit clients, as RPTs are considered high-risk transactions.
