As many as 58 auditors from the State Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia Representative of Southeast Sulawesi Province were sampled in this study. Data collection using a questionnaire instrument. And data were analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results of this study showed that (1) self-efficacy has a significant effect on audit judgment, (2) the obedience pressure has a significant effect on audit judgment, (3) the task complexity moderates the relationship of self-efficacy on audit judgment, positive-signed regression coefficients that indicate that the task complexity strengthens the relationship of self-efficacy on audit judgment, (4) the task complexity moderates the relationship of obedience pressure on audit judgment. Positive-signed regression coefficients that indicate that the task complexity strengthens the relationship of obedience pressure on audit judgment, (5) Moral reasoning does not moderate the relationship of self-efficacy to audit judgment, and (6) Moral reasoning moderates the relationship of obedience pressure on audit judgment. The regression coefficient is negative, indicating that the existence of moral reasoning weakens the relationship of obedience pressure on audit judgment.
