Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of objectivity, organizational arrangements, and auditee attributes on internal audit effectiveness with management support as a moderating variable in the Internal Supervisory Unit at State Universities in Sumatra. The sample of this study was 205 respondents as the Internal Supervisory Unit (Satuan Pengawas Internal/SPI) personnel at State Universities in the Sumatra Region. Data was collected through a questionnaire and obtained as many as 137 respondents. Data analysis in this study is to use a PLS-based Structural Equation Modellling (SEM) approach using Smartpls. The tests carried out are convergent validity test, validity and reliability test, discriminant validity test, R-Square test. To test the hypothesis, the data from the research questionnaire were analyzed using bootstrapping calculations. The results showed that objectivity, organization setting, and auditee attributes have a positive effect on internal audit effectiveness. Management support cannot moderate objectivity on internal audit effectiveness, however it can moderate organizational settings and auditee attributes on internal audit effectiveness. The implication of this research is that it can provide practical benefits for the Internal Supervisory Unit at State Universities in highlighting areas that need attention in improving internal audit effectiveness. Another implication is that it supports institutional theory and attribution theory used in the study of internal audit effectiveness.
