Abstract


The intention of this study is to examine the impact of ewuh pakewuh culture (Javanese culture) on the professional skepticism.

On the other hand, ewuh pakewuh culture may impair or even increase the capability to maintain skepticism. This culture presents the dynamics on auditor’s engagement. The research data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to accounting students who had enrolled on auditing and auditing practice courses. The total sample used was 100 accounting students.
