Abstract— The study was aimed at examining the effects of auditor independence and experience, size of clients’s financial health and audit fee on the audit quality. This study is therefore expected to provide empirical evidence about the audit quality in Indonesia, and targets auditors at the Public Accounting Firms in Indonesia as the respondents. Surveys were conducted while hypothesis testing was done with partially simple regression analysis and simultaneously multiple regression in which SPSS application was in use. The study states that on a partial basis, the auditor independence and experience affect the audit quality, while the size of the client's financial health and the audit fee give no significant effects on the audit quality. On the other hand, simultaneously, the auditor independence and experience, the size of the client's financial health, and audit fee significantly affect the audit quality.
