The questionnaire was distributed to 332 Accounting Students at State Universities in Padang City. The statistical method used in this research is multiple regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant influence of media, academic training, and having auditor acquaintances on auditor stereotypes. The major influence is on academic training as a source of knowledge information about perceptions of the auditor profession being the main information that can reduce the gap between public expectations of the auditor profession and the reality of auditor performance because students' views on audit responsibilities and other professional values change significantly after students take additional audit courses.
