MENAKAR EFEKTIVITAS ISQM: PERSPEKTIF GLOBAL TENTANG MUTU AUDIT DAN TATA KELOLA RISIKO

Abstract

The International Standard on Quality Management (ISQM) represents a fundamental reform in global audit quality governance, replacing ISQC 1. This study uses a Systematic literature review (SLR) approach, following the PRISMA 2020 and SPAR-4-SLR methods, to examine 25 scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 that discuss the relationship between ISQM implementation and audit quality. The study results show that ISQM consistently contributes positively to improving audit quality through a risk-based approach, continuous monitoring, strengthening human resource competencies, and organizational leadership. ISQM implementation has also been shown to enhance auditor accuracy, timeliness, and independence. However, ISQM effectiveness is strongly influenced by organizational contexts such as firm size, technology adoption, and quality culture. The findings also identify research gaps, particularly the lack of studies from developing countries, limited models of relationships between variables, and the absence of longitudinal and qualitative approaches. Theoretically, ISQM represents a Knowledge-Based View (KBV) approach and dynamic capability in audit organizations. Practically, the results of this SLR emphasize the importance of fully adopting ISQM as a proactive strategy to improve the accountability and reliability of financial reporting. This study provides a theoretical basis and strategic direction for regulators, academics, and practitioners to strengthen audit quality systems globally, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia.
