Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of company size and audit opinion on auditor switching with KAP turnover indicators and add auditor's reputation as a moderating variable. Population of this research is 39 mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2015-2018. The sample selection is done using a purposive sample method and produces 125 samples are processed. Data analysis method that used in this study are descriptive statistics analysis and inferential statistics analysis with absolute difference test for moderation with IBM SPSS 21 software. The results showed that company size has no effect on auditor switching, while audit opinion has a significant negative effect on auditor switching. The auditor's reputation strengthens the influence of company size on auditor switching, but the auditor's reputation is unable to strengthen the effect of audit opinion on auditor switching. The conclusion is a good opinion will minimize the practice of auditor switching and the large company supported by a good auditor reputation also can minimize the practice of auditor switching.
