The development of technology in the time of Covid-19 pandemic has affected a lot of accounting professions, for instance, auditors. In doing their field works at the moment, a lot of auditors rely on technology to ensure the good quality of their audit by making certain that the audit report is free from fraud, which has to be supported by a competent auditor. This research aims to see the effect of information technology audit in detecting fraud using the competence of the auditor as a moderation variable. The data are collected from sample auditors working for Public Accounting Firms in Bandung and Jakarta, which are then processed using regression analysis equipment.
