This research uses quantitative methods. The primary questionnaire and data used in this study were obtained from auditors who work in public accounting firms in Indonesia. Sampling was done using purposive sampling method. To test the hypothesis, researchers used Structural Equation Model with the Partial Least Square approach. The result shows that both time budget pressure and organizational-professional conflict have the negative effect on audit quality. It implies that to maintain audit quality, is not enough just relied on the competence of the auditor, but also the psychological or behavioral experienced by the auditor.
