The reason behind this is not any discrimination in the accounting firms but the individual aspects and external factors (client). This research focuses on the factors such as 1) The inclusion of social issues in accounting firms, 2) Job design disruption in the firms, and 3) conditional circumstances in decision making. Earlier studies indicated that the ethnicity variable did not have a significant impact on the performance of auditors because of a reformation process from ethnicity to the nation state or citizenship. The intensive interaction pattern of the social interaction is known as heterocultural society. ___________________________________________________________________________ Key words: Inclusion of social issues, job design disruption, conditional circumstances, heterocultural society JEL Classification: J 71, J 81, M 42
