The objective of external auditing is to provide opinions on the reliability of the financial

effectiveness. The value of the external auditing profession is affirmed when the public

has confidence in its objectivity and the accuracy of its opinions. The capital markets
$tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc
depend on accurate, reliable, and objective (neutral) data that portray the economic nature

of an entity’s business and in turn provide a base to judge current progress toward long-

term objectives. If the market does not receive reliable data, investors lose confidence in the
$tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc $tc
