In Auditor Independence, Ismail Adelopo argues that the importance of auditors'' independence cannot be over-emphasised. Not only do auditors provide certification of the truth and fairness of the information prepared by managers, they also have a duty to express opinions on the degree of compliance with laws and regulations guiding a firm''s operations. Theirs is a socially important responsibility. In all that has been proposed to mitigate the governance crisis and restore confidence in the market system, relatively little attention has been paid to auditor independence. Examining the historical role of auditing in corporate governance and the regulatory context, this book sets the function within a theoretical framework and then provides empirical analysis of the problem issues such as the relationship between audit committees and external auditors and the probity of providing non-auditing services to audit clients. The focus on matters that are damaging to market confidence and threatening to the reputation of the auditing profession, means the conclusions and recommendations in this book are important for key stakeholders, including policy makers, regulators, those running companies, and their investors and customers. This is also a book for those responsible for training in the auditing profession and for others with a research or academic interest in the matters addressed.
Industry Reviews
'A valuable, original contribution to our understanding of the association between, and the value of, auditing and corporate governance including the role of audit committees. Based on empirical research and very well sourced, this is attractively written and easy to read. Vital reading for directors and regulators and students of corporate governance and auditing, and a "must" for my own students. Highly recommended.' Andrew D. Chambers, Professor Emeritus, Cass Business School
