Abstract

This study explores the integration of environmental aspects into auditing practices, aiming to enhance organizational sustainability and corporate governance. Through a systematic review of literature, the historical evolution of environmental auditing is traced from its roots in the late 20th-century sustainability movement to its prominence in the early 2000s within the accounting profession. Theoretical frameworks such as institutional theory and legitimacy theory are employed to understand the drivers behind organizations' adoption of environmental auditing practices. Challenges hindering the effective integration of environmental aspects into auditing practices, including the lack of standardized methodologies and regulatory complexity, are identified. Despite these challenges, environmental auditing presents opportunities for organizations to improve their environmental performance, mitigate risks, and identify opportunities for improvement and innovation. Future research directions include exploring innovative methodologies for assessing environmental performance, addressing regulatory challenges, investigating auditors' roles in promoting sustainability, and conducting longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of environmental auditing on organizational performance. The study underscores the importance of advancing sustainable auditing practices to achieve organizational sustainability goals.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the roles, methodologies, effectiveness, and challenges of internal audit versus external audit within organizational contexts. The research aims to provide insights into the distinct yet complementary functions of internal and external audit, shedding light on their contributions to organizational governance, risk management, and financial reporting integrity. The study employs a comprehensive literature review approach, synthesizing existing research to explore definitions, conceptual frameworks, methodologies, practices, and assessments of effectiveness in both audit functions.

Conversely, external audit acts as a safeguard for external stakeholders, providing assurance on the reliability and integrity of financial statements. Methodologies and practices vary between internal and external audit, with internal audit employing risk-based auditing, compliance auditing, and performance auditing approaches, while external audit adheres to auditing standards and regulations. Despite their distinct roles, both audit functions face challenges related to audit quality, independence, and relevance. The study underscores the importance of understanding and leveraging the multifaceted contributions of internal and external audit to navigate the complexities of the modern business environment effectively.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of corporate culture on audit practices and ethics, aiming to understand the mechanisms, challenges, and implications of cultural factors in shaping auditors' behaviors within organizational contexts. The research utilizes a qualitative approach, drawing on existing literature and theoretical frameworks to analyze the complex interplay between corporate culture and auditing practices.

Theoretical perspectives such as agency theory, stakeholder theory, and social identity theory are employed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these relationships. The implications of the study underscore the importance of fostering a strong ethical culture, incorporating cultural assessments into audit engagements, and investing in resources and technologies to mitigate ethical risks effectively. By understanding how corporate culture influences audit practices and ethics, stakeholders can work collaboratively to promote integrity, accountability, and transparency within the auditing profession, thereby enhancing public trust and confidence.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Islamic financial technology (Islamic FinTech) in strengthening the resilience and ethical financing of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Employing a systematic literature review (SLR) of sixty-two academic and policy publications from 2015–2025, the research synthesizes key findings on how Sharia-based digital finance empowers MSMEs through inclusive, transparent, and sustainable mechanisms. The results show that Islamic FinTech enhances MSME resilience by facilitating access to Sharia-compliant financing, reducing transaction barriers, and promoting risk-sharing through mudharabah and musyarakah contracts. Furthermore, it integrates ethical values derived from maqāṣid al-sharīʿah, reinforcing justice, trust, and accountability in digital financial systems. The study also reveals that Islamic FinTech contributes to sustainable development by supporting gender inclusion, digital literacy, and environmentally responsible investment. Nevertheless, challenges remain in governance, financial literacy, and regulatory harmonization between Islamic law and technological innovation. The paper concludes that Islamic FinTech is not merely a digital intermediary but an ethical ecosystem that combines technology and faith to foster equitable, resilient, and sustainable economic growth. Future research should explore longitudinal case studies and cross-regional comparisons to assess the long-term social and financial impacts of Islamic FinTech in Muslim-majority economies.
