ABSTRACT

This study examines the impact of audit fees, auditor reputation, and auditor rotation on audit quality in Food and beverage Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Data were collected from financial reports accessed via the website www.idx.co.id. Using a quantitative approach, this research employed purposive sampling. The sample included 42 Food and beverage Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Analysis was conducted using multiple regression to investigate the relationships between audit fees, auditor reputation, auditor rotation, and audit quality. The findings reveal that audit fees have a significant negative impact, while auditor reputation has a negative but insubstantial effect.

Additionally, auditor rotation negatively affects audit quality, although this impact is not statistically significant. These results suggest that audit costs negatively influence audit quality, while auditor reputation and rotation do not significantly affect audit quality in the Food and beverage sector. Understanding these dynamics can benefit investors, enabling them to make better-informed investment decisions in Food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. This understanding may help investors assess the reliability of financial information provided by these companies, potentially reducing investment risks and enhancing overall investment performance.
