In heteroscedasticity test indicates heteroscedasticity does not occur because of the graph dots spread randomly. By hypothesis testing using multiple linear regression analysis showed the regression coeficientsfor the variables X1 of 0.460 and 0.553 for X2 variables, showed that every capability professional intemal auditors (X1) of one unit will lead to increased quality of audit reports (Y) equal to 0.460 and any independence internal auditors (X2) of one unit will lead to increased quality of audit reports (Y) equal to 0.553.
