Abstract

This study examines government regulations related to public audit services performed by the accounting firm and public accountant as regulated in Government Regulation (PP) No. 20 of 2015, which in this case, eliminates limits for accounting firm (AF) tenure and extends public accountant (PA) tenure from three years into five years. This research also analyzed the previous regulations of the Minister of Finance Decree No. 359/KMK.06/2003, Minister of Finance Regulation No. 17/PMK.01/2008, which are related to the existence of real and pseudo-rotation of AF. This research used 195 non-financial industry companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange with pre-regulation research period is the year 2008-2014 and post-regulation is the year 2015-2016. The results show that AF tenure has no quadratic effect on audit quality, while tenure of PA has a concave quadratic effect on audit quality in the post-regulation period. This study also found that the pseudo-rotation of AF had a positive effect on audit quality in the pre-regulation period and did not affect the post-regulation period, while it was not found that the real AF rotation had an effect on audit quality.
