Abstract :
The purpose of this research is to test the impact of organization's ethical tools on the prevention of financial corruption in the audit firms. The necessity of establishing ethical care tools in the organization is to a point where many large organizations responded to the legal and environmental pressures by forming a moral culture in their organizations. The present study is descriptive-survey and in time domain of 1395. The studied sample consisted of 330 interviewees among auditors working at the Audit Institutions of the Member of the Public Accountants Association and the Audit Organization. To assess the research hypotheses, the value of probability (T-value) obtained from the fit of the model was statistically significant in terms of parameters and using SPSS and AMOS software. The findings of the research showed that the audit firm's ethical support instruments on professional audit warning, the understanding of professional Iranian auditors from individual responsibility and the consequences of the questioning operation had a significant effect. Also, the findings of the research indicate that the audit firms 'ethical environment is not meaningful on the Iranian professional auditors' perceived costs of reporting. In other words, the findings show that the perception of Iranian professional auditors of individual responsibility for reporting, the understanding of Iranian professional accountants from reporting costs, the perception of Iranian professional auditors from the consequences of the questionable actions on the warning of professional auditors have a meaningful effect in Iran. Also, the results of mediator variables showed that the audit ethical care tools of institutions have a significant effect on the warning of professional auditors through the "taking responsibility for reporting on the individual" in Iran. Besides, the findings of the research showed that the audit firm's ethical care tools did not significantly affect the warning of professional auditors in Iran through the "perception of reporting costs".
