  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>This study aims to examine the factors of dysfunctional behaviour among auditors in Malaysia.  Factor analysis was employed to analyse three factors (1) demographic factors (a type of firm and period of audit experience), (2) Occupational stress (time budget pressure and complexity of audit task) and (3) Job Satisfaction that affects dysfunctional audit behaviour which is reduced audit quality and underreporting time. A questionnaire was distributed among 223 respondents employed by the Big 4 and non-Big 4 audit firms located in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. The findings revealed that all the tested variables have a significant influence towards reduced audit quality, whereas underreporting time show a non-significant relationship with demographic factors. The findings are anticipated to provide beneficial insights not only to audit practitioners but to many other regulators, professional bodies, policy makers, practitioners and academics that are relevant to their future decisions. This study is also subject to limitations that serve as consideration for future research.
