In conducting the audit process, auditors often face ethical dilemmas in audit conflict situations. However, previous research indicates a negative relationship between auditors’ ethical reasoning and the likelihood of unethical behavior in audit conflict situation. Therefore, this study aims to see the ethical reasoning of auditors who handle problematic clients.
This study uses Kohlberg’s Cognitive Moral Development (CMD) theory and research instrument developed by James Rest, the Defining Issues Test which is derived from CMD. The data for this study comes from four respondents who are auditors of problematic clients, namely Company X and its subsidiaries. The results show that each auditor has a cognitive moral development process in line with CMD, but at different levels.
