  Hello !

  I am newbie . My friend recommend me to post in this wonderful forum.

  I have a question that I like to ask you all about

  Independence , for instance , Independent Auditor.

  How is independence measured or assessed?

  Is there 100% independence?

  For purpose of discussion, lets use the example of external audit.

  1. why is external audit required?

  2. How independent auditing is external audit when

  a. Auditing firm runs a business.

  b. A business that requires Revenue from its Customers aka the firm being Audited.

  c. There is a Relationship established: Client (company being audited) -Server (auditor).

   

  I am seeking an honest comment from you, if the above assumption is true, how is Independence established ?

  regards

  Lynnepeh

  Sorry, but with due respect, that is really a name.

  Ok, to avoid misunderstandings, I will try to change the id if possible?

  regards

  Lynn,

  You may want to do a case study research for the company Arthur Andersen.

  What part it played in the downfall of Enron and how it contributed to their own demise.
