Doctoral thesis of Philosophy: Adoption and use of generalized audit software by Indonesian audit firms

is structured as follows: This study investigates the adoption and use of Generalized Audit Software (GAS) by Indonesian audit firms. GAS is specialized software that enables the auditor to automate tasks including client risk assessment. The researcher believed GAS use in Indonesia is not widespread and one explanation for this is the absence of professionally qualified accountants (ADB, 2003) and the World Bank (2011) reported that audit practices in Indonesia face a quality related problem especially in mid-tier and small-sized firms.
