This study conducted a basic investigation on the impact of KM process in the audit firms in Malaysia through the survey questionnaires which were distributed to 46 audit firms located in lohor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Selangor. The statistical results from the sample revealed that KM process has a positive significant relationship to the audit firms' performance.
