Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract. The study aims to determine the effect of competency and professional skepticism on audit
quality in Public Accountant Offices (KAP) in Bandung. This study uses a quantitative research method.
The sample in this study consists of 35 respondents from 48 questionnaires distributed to auditors working
at Public Accountant Offices (KAP) in Bandung. Data analysis in this study uses multiple linear regression
models with IBM SPSS (Statistical Program for Social Science) software version 29.0. The results of this
study indicate that the competency and professional skepticism variables simultaneously have a positive
and significant effect on audit quality. Partially, the competency variable has a positive and significant
effect on audit quality, while professional skepticism does not have a significant effect on audit quality.
The Adjusted R Square value is 0.553 or 55.3%, while the remaining 44.7% is explained by other variables
aside from the independent variables in this study.
