With this study, the researcher sought to fill the gap in the literature by examining ethical decision-making of three types of auditors: internal auditors, external auditors from the Big four certified public accountant (CPA) firms, and external auditors from smaller CPA firms. This study was a quantitative nonexperimental research design with a single dependent variable (ethical decision-making) and four independent variables (ethical evaluation, intent to act, social consensus, and magnitude of consequences). The population and sample frame in this study were CPAs licensed by the North Carolina State Board of Certified Public Accountant Examiners working as auditors in public and private accounting. Based on the results of four ANOVAs, none of the scales of ethical decision-making showed differences based on whether an auditor was internal, external from a Big four CPA firm, or external from a small CPA firm. Although the intention to act variable did approach significant differences (p = .054), it did not reach the necessary alpha of .05 defined as significant in this research. After removing the ethical evaluation variable from the model, a significant binary logistic regression model indicated intention to act and magnitude of social consequences were both significantly predictive of an auditor's ethical decision-making process.
