Pemetaan Penerapan Standar Audit Berbasis ISA Pada Kantor Akuntan Publik (KAP) Di Daerah Istimewa YOGYAKARTA

Abstract

The aim of this study is to map the application of the auditing standards based on the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) at public accounting firms in Yogyakarta. This study is a qualitative research that uses in-depth interviews and open-questionnaires to collect data from public accounting firms. The research sample consists of 6 of 12 public accounting firms. Data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis and intensive interviews with the decision makers of public accounting firms (managers or partners). The results show that 50% of public accounting firms in Yogyakarta are at the stage of knowing (level 1), 17% at the application stage (level 3), and 33% at the stage of education (level 4). The implication of this study is that the public accounting firms at level 1 should contribute actively to seek information about the audit of small business entities based on ISA which has been issued by the Indonesian Institute of Accountants. The Questions and Answers (TJ) handbook contains the ISA-based audit principles for small and medium business entities. This handbook is intended to assist the auditor in applying relevant audit standards effectively and efficiently
