Independence & Objectivity of Internal Auditors please refer...
Case Study: Enron and Arthur Andersen
The Enron scandal serves as a stark reminder of the consequences that can arise when independence and objectivity are compromised. Arthur Andersen, the auditing firm responsible for Enron's financial statements, failed to maintain independence and objectivity, leading to catastrophic consequences for both the company and the auditing profession. The case highlighted the importance of stringent measures and ethical guidelines to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure the integrity of public company audits.
Ensuring independence and objectivity in public company audits is vital for upholding the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting. By implementing measures such as rotational policies, robust oversight, and restrictions on non-audit services, auditors can minimize the risk of bias and conflicts of interest. Effective communication and consultation further enhance the objectivity of auditors, enabling them to provide reliable and unbiased assessments.
