Abstract :
Extensive studies have investigated the identification of factors affecting audit quality both at the professional and organizational level and at the level of individual characteristics. However, strategic intelligence as an essential component in people's decisions has not been considered so far. Based on this, this research was conducted with the aim of identifying the role of strategic intelligence and its dimensions (including foresight, vision formulation, systemic thinking, participation and motivation) in promoting and improving audit quality. To collect information, a questionnaires was distributed among partners, managers and official accountants employed in audit institutions. The results obtained using structural equation modeling show that strategic intelligence and the dimensions of vision formulation, systemic thinking, participation and motivation have a direct and significant effect on audit quality. Therefore, it can be stated that the more strategic intelligence and perspective dimensions, systemic thinking, participation and motivation among auditors, the better the audit quality. In other words, the better the level of application of the concepts of strategic intelligence dimensions, it leads to the improvement of the quality of the provided audit.
