| Summary: | The relationship between auditor competency and the use of digital audit has been recognized as a potential factor that could enhance audit evaluation and enhance auditor performance. This study examines the direct impact of audit competency and digital audit variables on the efficiency of auditor work performance. It also explores the role of audit assessment as a mediator in these connections. The data used in this study is obtained from external auditors. A survey was conducted in Malaysia to determine the direct impact of audit competence and digital audit on the efficiency of audit work carried out by the external auditor. Based on the findings, it appears that increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of auditors' work performance was largely dependent on their competency as well as their usage of modern digital audits. Further investigation reveals the impact of audit competency and digital audit on audit assessment, which is a necessary process for enhancing the performance effectiveness of the external auditor. This research enhances our understanding of audit assessment as an essential tool for evaluating audit proficiency and the auditor's competency and effective utilization of digital audit in evaluating the auditor's work performance. © 2024, Transnational Press London Ltd.
