Fraud Detection serves as the independent variable (Y), while Information Technology acts as the moderating variable (Z). The results of this study indicate that the influence of auditor quality on fraud detection is positive and significant, the influence of professional ethics on fraud detection is positive and significant, the influence of independence on fraud detection is positive and significant, and the role of information technology in the influence of audit quality is positive but not significant, the role of information technology in the influence of professional ethics on fraud detection is positive but not significant, and the influence of independence on fraud detection through information technology as a moderating variable is positive and significan.
