Abstract
The purpose of this is to analyze the effect of auditor quality and legislative oversight on the follow-up of audit recommendations, and also examining the indirect effect between the auditor quality and legislative oversight on the audit findings through the follow-up of audit recommendations as an intervening variable. Sample of this study is local governments’ financial statement in Indonesia from 2010-2012. Using principle component analysis methods, there are four components extracted that form auditor quality which is experience, training, motivation, and education. The empirical test result shows that there is a direct effect between the auditor qualityand legislative oversight on the follow-up of audit recommendations, as well as indirect effect on audit findings. High quality auditor is able to produce high quality recommendations that can be easily followed by the audited entity. Strong legislative oversight encourages closer monitoring over the local government financial management so that local governments more committed to following up on the audit recommendation. The higherthe audit recommendations are acted upon, the better the quality of local government financial statements asshown by the decrease in audit findings.
Keywords: audit findings, auditor quality, follow-up, legislative oversight.
