Data analysis consists of descriptive statistical analysis, measurement model tests, outer models consisting of (convergent validity, discriminant validity, composite reliability) and structural model tests, or the inner model is evaluated using R-square for the dependent construct, direct and indirect hypothesis testing. The results showed that the audit risk variable had a positive and significant effect on fraud detection, the workload variable had a negative and significant impact on fraud detection, and the skepticism variable had a positive and significant effect on fraud detection. The audit risk variable positively and significantly impacts fraud detection through skepticism, and the workload variable negatively and significantly affects fraud detection through skepticism.
