Multiple linear regression was used in the data analysis technique for this study. This study results indicate that the cultural factors do not significantly influence auditors to work professionally in conducting audits. But a person's personality factor has an influence on auditor professionalism. This can be interpreted that the higher the personality level of an auditor can reduce the auditor's carelessness in conducting the audit. In addition, it was found that a person's religiosity factor has an influence on auditor professionalism. The factor of religiosity is one of the determinants of moral values, which is often referred to as ethical standards. So, if a person is a true believer, following the precepts of their chosen faith, then the ideal result is morally good and beneficial behaviour to all fellow beings.
