This study used a survey method to collect field data by distributing questionnaires to research objects. The statistical method used to test the hypothesis is to use multiple linear regression with the help of Smart PLS 3.0 software. The measurement stage carried out is the outer model and inner model tests. The analysis results show that time budget pressure and task complexity positively and significantly affect dysfunctional audit behavior. Audit fees weaken the impact of time, budget pressure, and task complexity on dysfunctional audit behavior. The implication of this research is to provide input to public accounting firms to evaluate policies that can be carried out to overcome the possibility of dysfunctional behavior.
