This paper aims to examine the positive relationship between the audit committee (AC) and the reporting quality proxied by the reporting timeliness in the Indonesian context. The AC effectiveness is measured by the committee size, number of its expertise or competence, and its meeting frequency. This study employs 240 observations from 48 manufacturing companies from 2014 to 2019 in the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) as samples. A logit regression analysis is used to test the hypotheses in this study. The findings reveal that the AC size and financial expertise are not significantly associated with the audit report timeliness, whereas the meeting frequency has a significant effect on it. The results indicate that the AC effectiveness depends on the occurrence of communication between members. The more frequent the AC meets, the more effective their communication will be. This study findings also suggest that the number of the AC meetings is crucial in ensuring its oversight roles in companies, leading to timely submission of audited financial statements. The findings provide significant contributions to the existing literature on corporate governance (CG), especially the AC effectiveness in emerging economies. This study fills research gaps on the AC effectiveness and

This study aims to test the framing effect in audit decision aid. The research employs a between-subject experimental design involving 56 undergraduate students as the sample. The dependent variable is the tendency to follow the aid recommendation which is measured using Gomaa, Hunton, Vaassen, and Carree's (2011) scenario. Framing effect is manipulated as follows: (1) positive framing, (2) negative framing. The result shows that framing effect exists in audit decision aid, especially, in how the aid reliability presented (positive or negative) influences the final participant's decision. This research seeks to contribute to the development of framing theory, particularly to test the framing phenomena in audit decision aid. Previous studies on this realm focus on health, politic, finance, business, and marketing areas and only a few studies are found discussing this issue in the auditing area. The result would also be useful in the practical field where it should now be obvious that an auditor should never be over-reliant on decision aid. Decision aid can indeed make decision bias if the auditor thinks using only the aid is enough to make a decision and forgets to use professional judgment. The result of the study gives a warning to auditors that the way information on the reliability of a decision aid is presented can make a decision bias.

This study aims to examine the effect of audit quality determination factors which consist of restatement, small profit, prior roa meet, going concern opinion and type 1 error going concern opinion on audit quality. This research was conducted on BUMN companies in Indonesia in 2015-2019 and the research sample was determined using the purposive sampling method so that 46 sample companies were obtained. The results show that companies that do restatement do not have a worse audit quality than those that do not restate, companies that are categorized as small profit do not have audit quality that are worse than those that are not categorized as small profit, companies that are categorized as prior-roa meet do not have audit quality that is worse than those who are not categorized as prior roa meet, auditors who provide going concern opinions do not have better audit quality than those who do not provide going concern opinions and auditors who make type 1 errors going concern opinions do not have worse audit quality than those who do not commits a type 1 error of going-concern opinion.
