Abstract

Profiling the psychological characteristics of fraudsters including narcissism is perceived as an important factor for auditors especially with their responsibility for fraud detection. Such profiling should increase the auditor professional skepticism during brainstorming sessions. This study aims to investigate the influence of the psychological characteristics of fraudsters especially narcissism on auditor’s professional skepticism. Our empirical study are based on data from auditors of public accounting firms and the Auditor Board of Indonesia (BPK) located in Semarang, Indonesia which involves 68 respondents. Data then was analyzed using linear regression. The result indicates that narcissism significantly increases the auditor’s professional skepticism. The finding implies that during the brainstorming session, auditors should consider the psychological characteristics of clients beyond the procedural aspects of audit.
