Choosing an auditor and being chosen

Article Abstract:

The increased importance of the audit function has influenced the criteria used by companies when selecting an auditing firm. Companies look for auditors who understand the nature of the company's business, comprehend the company's financial and management structure, and have contact partners who are accessible to the client. Before auditors accept an assignment, they should consider their ability to offer adequate services and the audit risk implicit in the auditing assignment.
