Abstract

Audit quality is a crucial aspect that determines the reliability of financial statements and influences the economic decisions of stakeholders, where good audit practices can enhance transparency and trust in financial reports. In Indonesia's property and real estate sector, which involves complex transactions and high investment values, audit quality is essential to ensure the accuracy of financial statements and mitigate the risks of market fluctuations and regulatory changes that impact investment and funding decisions. The purpose of this study is to examine how audit fees and audit tenure affect audit quality and how financial distress moderates the relationship between independent and dependent variables. The population of this study consists of property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022. The sampling method used is simple random sampling, resulting in a sample of 50 companies. This study employs binary logistic regression analysis using SPSS version 29. The tests conducted include the overall model fit test, clarification matrix test, and hypothesis testing. The results show that audit fees do not significantly affect audit quality, audit tenure does not significantly affect audit quality, financial distress significantly moderates the relationship between audit fees and audit quality, and financial distress does not significantly moderate the relationship between audit tenure and audit quality.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of internal control and the use of accounting information systems on the financial reporting quality of PT. Misool Eco Resort. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. Key informants included the administrative director, operational manager, financial manager, accounting supervisor, and controller. The findings indicate that the internal control system is inadequate, with suboptimal results across the eight components of the control environment. Weaknesses include insufficient enforcement of integrity and ethical values, unclear delegation of authority and responsibility, and an ineffective controller role in ensuring compliance and goal achievement. The accounting information system, utilizing the Mekari Jurnal application, performs well in terms of speed, usability, and information quality. However, issues such as data synchronization between branches and headquarters remain. Although the accounting system contributes positively to financial reporting, weaknesses in internal control compromise the reliability and accuracy of financial statements. The study recommends enhancing internal control through improved communication of ethical standards, employee competency development, organizational restructuring, and strengthening the controller’s role. Greater integration between internal control and the accounting system is essential to ensure the production of high-quality financial reports in compliance with financial accounting standards.
