This research aims to explore the impact of brainstorming (BR), auditor ethics (AE), and whistleblowers (WH) on audit opinions (AO). It also aims to assess the moderating role of management support (MS) in these relationships. The population of this study was 166 auditors from the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK-Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan) spread across the Papua region of Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis. The findings show that there is a significant influence of brainstorming and auditor ethics on audit opinion, but whistleblowers do not influence audit opinion. In addition, management support moderates the influence of auditor ethics but not brainstorming and whistleblowers. Management that supports auditor ethics strengthens the positive effect of auditor ethics on audit opinions, ensuring that auditors can operate independently and objectively. However, the findings demonstrate that management support is unable to control the impact of brainstorming and whistleblowing on audit opinion, which is a result of other factors that are more important in influencing audit results. This research suggests that effective organizational management is crucial for maintaining auditor ethics and enhancing auditor independence in delivering unbiased audit opinions. Therefore, organizations must pay more attention to the role and support of management in creating a culture that supports integrity and ethics in the audit process.

“…Going forward we need to evaluate how well a certain tool or technology works before we implement it. User-friendly tools that are easy to use can improve performance (Afridi, Turi, Zaufishan, & Rosak-Szyrocka, 2023). One survey reports that one of the three most important features of point of care technologies for healthcare workers was that it must be easy to use (Orwig et al, 2024).…”

Tools and technologies have strengths and weaknesses and can either reduce or increase complexity and make work easier or harder. This article aims to report the results of a survey that assessed the usefulness and ease of use of tools and technologies, and perceptions of participants about tools and technologies as a factor in complexity and project failure. A cross-sectional survey of 114 project managers, researchers, and decision-makers was conducted to assess if tools and technologies that participants use in their work are useful and easy to use by asking two questions based on a validated tool of user acceptance of technologies. Additionally, two questions asked participants which tools and technologies were most helpful in their work – one was an open question, and the other provided pre-selected choices of tools and technologies. Few participants chose tools and technologies as a factor that contributes to complexity and project failure, and most participants rated tools and technologies as useful and easy to use. However, the tools and technologies that were chosen by most as helpful for work, tend to be older and simpler and include tools such as checklists. In conclusion, even though tools and technologies are advancing rapidly, most participants in the current survey chose older tools and technologies as helpful in their work. The relevance of these findings is that there appears to be barriers to the adoption of newer technologies such as artificial intelligence and algorithms. The barriers to the adoption of new tools and technologies should be explored further.

“…When successfully developed, IT capability yields remarkable benefits for firms in the form of enhancements of organisational agility, supply chain management, innovation, and the transmission of information essential for synchronous decision making, and collaboration -both internal and external- [ 19 , [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] ]. In addition, in the context of economic crises and highly competitive environments, the beneficial impact of IT on business performance appears to be even more pronounced [ 29 , 30 ].…”
