The first method involves comparison of average obtained from variables indicator, the second method of analysis was ANOVA to determine correlations between the distance of variable under study and the third was using the correlation coefficient. The results of the study show that by reducing the spatial distance between the auditor and the client, financial information can be improved. Also, the distance of economic factors and information inconsistency between the auditor and client, blocks the ease of transfer of information and reports submitted by internal auditors’ information, and rated higher than reports submitted by the auditors.
