Moreover, this study would be useful for future researcher as the confidence level of third party is the additional independent variable in our research model. The proposed study is designed to be a cross-sectional study by using primary data collection method to collect data from SME companies. Multi-stage cluster sampling technique is used to select the sample from SME Malaysia. Self-administered questionnaire is distributed in order to achieve the minimum sample size of 200 cases. Descriptive study will be used to describe the characteristic of our sample.

This study would be able to useful for SME companies to decide whether their company need to be voluntary audit or not by providing them the importance and reasons for voluntary audit. |
