Abstract
The objective of this research is to empirically examine the effects of audit professional proficiency on audit stability. The sample was 355 Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Thailand. A questionnaire was used to collect data and the analysis employed the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis. The results indicate that audit professional proficiency has a positive impact on audit stability through audit outcomes as the mediators. In addition, antecedent variables include continual professional training. audit technological attentions and audit process improvement have a positive relationship with audit professional proficiency. Regarding moderating effects, professional regulation has a positive relationship to audit professional proficiency and audit outcomes. While, audit market competition is shown to be partially positively supported between antecedent variables and audit professional proficiency.
