This study uses a quantitative approach and
was designed using a verification descriptive research
type. The findings show a regression coefficient of 0.489
or 48.9% for the influence of competence on professional
auditors, and the regression coefficient is positive. This
suggests that as the competency of professional auditors
increases, their professionalism also increases. The partial
test relationship model for competence with professional
auditors is also significant, with a t-test result of 7.196,
which is greater than the t-table alpha of 0.05 (df = 163)
of 1.654. The computer output is sig 0.000, which is
smaller than alpha (α = 0.05). The t-test results for this
competency partial regression model can estimate the
professional auditor, which is determined by competence.
The study also found a regression coefficient of 0.439 or
43.9% for the influence of independence on professional
auditors, and the regression coefficient is positive
