The sample consists of 185 firm years. Sample companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2016. Data analysis techniques using SEM based PLS.The result of the indirect effect test shows that auditor tenure and auditor reputation have a positive effect on audit quality while abnormal audit fees has a negative effect to audit quality and audit quality has a negative effect on giving of going concern opinion.
