Event Summary
In principle, auditors assure investors that an audited entity’s financial and other statements give a true and fair view of its situation. In practice, there are limitations to the effectiveness of that assurance mechanism, which auditors often describe as an “expectations gap.” Can more be done to ensure that auditors serve the information needs of the investor community?
