چکیده

مقدمه: رفتار اخلاقی به عنوان یکی از شرط‌های بقای حرفه حسابرسی داخلی در نظر گرفته می‌شود و عوامل گوناگونی بر ادراک اخلاقی و به تبع آن بر تصمیم‌گیری اخلاقی مؤثر است. هدف این پژوهش بررسی عوامل مؤثر بر ادراک اخلاقی حسابرسان داخلی است. به این منظور، نقش عواملی مانند فلسفه اخلاقی شخصی، فرهنگ اخلاقی سازمان، آیین‌رفتار حرفه‌ای و تجربه حسابرس مورد بررسی قرار می‌گیرد.
روش پژوهش: این پژوهش، از نوع پژوهش‌های پیمایشی - توصیفی است و برای جمع‌آوری داده‌ها از ابزار پرسش‌نامه استفاده شده است. جامعه آماری پژوهش شامل حسابرسان دوایر اداره رسیدگی دانشگاه‌های علوم پزشکی و خدمات بهداشتی درمانی سراسر کشور است. در این پژوهش از نمونه‌گیری استفاده نشده است و لذا روش نمونه‌گیری و تعداد نمونه مطرح نیست. فرضیه‌های پژوهش با استفاده از مدل رگرسیون آزمون شده است.
یافته‌ها: نتایج حاصل از آزمون فرضیه‌ها بیانگر این است که فلسفه اخلاقی شخصی دارای تأثیری ضعیف و منفی بر ادراک اخلاقی حسابرسان داخلی است و تأثیر سایر متغیرهای مورد بررسی بر ادراک اخلاقی حسابرسان داخلی معنادار نیست.
نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج حاصل از پژوهش بیانگر ضعف فلسفه اخلاقی شخصی، فرهنگ اخلاقی و آگاه‌نبودن از آیین‌رفتار حرفه‌ای در میان حسابرسان مورد آزمون است. از این‌رو، لزوم توجه به اصول اخلاقی و برگزاری دوره‌های آموزشی اخلاق با تأکید بر مبانی اخلاق اسلامی و آیین‌رفتار حرفه‌ای به منظور ارتقای ادراک اخلاقی بیش از پیش احساس می‌شود.

The objective of this research is to study the effective factors in the ethical perception of internal auditors. So, the role of factors such as personal moral philosophy, ethical culture of the organization, professional code of ethics, and the auditor's experience is examined.
Method: The current study is a survey research in which questionnaire is used as the main data collection instrument. The statistical population of this research includes the auditors of the auditing departments of Medical Sciences Universities across the country.Sampling is not used in this study; therefore, sampling method and the number of samples are not taken into consideration. The hypotheses of the research have been examined through Regression Model.
Results: The results of testing the hypotheses of the study state that the personal moral philosophy has a low and negative effect on ethical perception of internal auditors. Besides, the effect of the other variables examined in this study is not significant in the ethical perception of internal auditors.
Conclusion: The results of the study are indicative of the weak personal moral philosophy and ethical culture of auditors as well as lack of awareness of professional code of ethics. Accordingly, paying attention to ethical principles and offering courses on ethics education with an emphasis on the foundations of Islamic ethics and professional code of ethics are strongly necessary in order to promote ethical perception.
