The aims of this research are to analyze determinant factors affecting the audit quality, namely : independence, experience, and accountability. Independence is the main basis of public trust in the public accountant profession and it is one of the factors to evaluate the quality of audit service. Experience is defined as one’s skill which is obtained by working regularly. Then, accountability is defined as a social psychological motive that makes someone try to be responsible for all their actions and decisions for the environment. The location of this research was in 28 Public Accounting Firms in Central Java and Jogjakarta provinces, Indonesia with around 150 auditors. There were 150 questionnaires distributed around February until June 2011, but only 65 questionnaires returned, so that response rate was 43%.This paper tests the hypothesis that independence, experience and accountability affect audit quality. The findings of this research support that independence and accountability affect audit quality and reject that experience affects audit quality. The results showthat: 1) independence, experience and accountability affected audit quality simultaneously; 2) independence and accountability affected audit quality partially, meanwhile experience did not affect audit quality partially; 3) accountability was the dominant factor affecting audit quality.
