Introduction

Without accurate and reliable corporate disclosures and financial statements the competitive free market system could not function properly.

The final accounts of a business concern are used for different purposes by various persons such as the owners, shareholders, investors, creditors, leaders, government and etc. and they need to be sure that the considered accounts are reliable. To avoid doubts about the reliability of a qualitative financial disclosure of the company an attention to an auditor’s report is given.

Auditor is an independent expert who examines the accounts of a business concern and reports the final accounts are reliable or not. Hence, audit is an examination of accounting records to establish their reliability. The auditing process is supposed to serve as a monitoring device that reduces management incentives to manipulate reported earnings, as well as to detect earnings manipulation and misstatements.

Initially in the auditing process focus was given to the analysis of financial statements and internal financial control only. Now audit covers a wide range of different aspects of the organization and is helping management to identify and assess risks and develop measures aimed at reducing the risk and increasing the efficiency of systems and processes.
