1. Pendahuluan
The Indonesian government, through the Minister of Finance Decree 423/KMK.06/2008, requires companies to change accounting firm audit assignment which has got five years in a row. If the company replace the hood that has been audited for five years, it would not raise the question because it is mandatory. So that needs to be investigated is if KAP voluntary turnover (outside the WCC 423/KMK.06/2008).
The motivation of this research is to confirm the research Carcello and Neal (2003) which states that auditing often believe that they are more likely to be replaced if the issue going-concern opinion. KAP and BAPEPAM disturbed by the auditor changes are so large, while research on auditor changes are still small. The situation is causing the need for monitoring (SEC, 1988, as quoted by Haskins and Williams, 1990). The phenomenon of the turn of KAP has been found to have implications for the credibility of financial reporting and monitoring cost management activities. Therefore, this issue has been extensively studied in developed countries and is currently also still be learned through research in Asian countries like Hongkong, Singapore, Malaysia and Korea (Ismail, 2008)
