The method used is Partial Least Square (PLS). The results showed that moral intensity has a positive effect on internal auditor professionalism, religiosity has a positive effect on internal auditor professionalism, moral intensity has a positive effect on ethical decision making, religiosity has a positive effect on ethical decision making, Internal Auditor professionalism has a positive effect on ethical decision making, the moral intensity does not have a significant effect on ethical decision making through Internal Auditor Professionalism and religiosity does not have a significant effect on ethical decision making through Internal Auditor Professionalism
