“…The work unit will highly await internal auditors as consultants and catalysts. The work of internal auditors in realizing good governance will be challenged, among others, if the auditor does not have competence and independence, the regional head is not committed, and the auditee has no awareness [21]. Internal auditors must be able to face changes in their job [21].…”

We analyze the readiness of the government's internal auditors in facing the challenges of changing work after the Covid-19 pandemic. Research participants are government internal auditors in both local governments and universities. The research method used is ethnomethodology. The results showed that almost all regions experienced a shortage of internal auditors when compared to the assignment load received. In terms of quality, internal auditors also really need to increase their competence, especially regarding information technology. The use of information technology is increasing since the Covid-19 pandemic. Government organizations also continue to transform by reinventing to realize good governance and optimal services for the community. The workfrom-home pattern has put pressure on internal auditors to continue to adapt to technology. Local governments and universities must provide facilities such as upgrading office equipment, internet networks, and up-to-date applications needed by internal auditors. Commitment to improving auditors' competence can be done by providing a budget for training, technical guidance, scholarships for further studies, competency certification, and others.
