<![CDATA[Public accounting profession in Indonesia faces significant challenges in maintaining credibility and public trust, particularly regarding professional ethics and auditor independence. Various accounting scandals, including Enron, WorldCom, PT SNP Finance, and PT Hanson International Tbk, highlight the vulnerability of auditors to ethical violations. This community service program (PKM) was conducted at KAP H dan Rekan, a leading public accounting firm in Indonesia with more than 600 employees across Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Surabaya, and Sidoarjo. The program aimed to strengthen professional ethics and auditor independence through a structured, six-month continuing education program. A mixed-methods action research design was employed, involving pre-assessment surveys and in-depth interviews, intensive workshops, ethical dilemma simulations, group discussions, and post-assessment evaluations. Target participants were 80–100 auditors at various hierarchical levels, selected through purposive sampling. Materials were based on five ethical principles from the Indonesian Accountants' Code of Ethics 2025. The results showed a significant improvement in auditors' understanding and application of integrity, objectivity, professional competence, confidentiality, and professional behavior. Pre-test and post-test comparisons confirmed measurable gains in knowledge and behavioral change. The program successfully fostered a more ethical and independent work culture within KAP H dan Rekan. Mandatory program outputs including a scientific article indexed in SINTA, an ethics training module (intellectual property), and a replicable continuing education prototype were all achieved as targeted.
