The population in this study were 90 financial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2017-2019 period. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, 42 samples were obtained for three years of observation to produce 126 units of analysis.

The results of the study prove that simultaneous audit opinion, management change and company growth influence auditor switching. Partially the change of management and company growth has no effect on auditor switching. While audit opinion has a positive effect on auditor switching. Financial distress is able to moderate the change of management towards auditor switching, but it can’t moderate the relationship between audit opinion and company growth with auditor switching at financial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2019
